Classification of the Green Mountain Climate According to Thornthwaite Method

Abstract

The Green Mountain is characterized by a distinctive terrain environment in which the heights vary

and reflected on the diversity of climate elements such as rain and temperature, and by virtue of the extension of the green mountain from the southwest to the northeast, it is divided into two distinct climatic environments, which are the Mediterranean environment on the northern slopes that are subject to the prevailing cinematic effects in the region Mediterranean climate or moderate shows and the desert environment with its continental influences on the southern slopes. This study is based on the classification of the Green Mountain climate according to the Thornthwaite method, in the climate classification. The importance of this classification lies in that it allows extracting many climate indicators, which gives a great deal of data and climate information about the regions that can be relied upon in different applied aspects. Based on the elements of the water budget identified by Thornthwaite, three climatic regions were identified in the mountain, the dry region, the wet, the semi -dry region and the dry region. And determine its geographical distribution and draw a map showing this distribution. And clarify the characteristics of each region according to the elements used in the classification.
