Climatic Classification for Agricultural Potential in Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract

Papadakis system of climate classification give special consideration into ecological requirements of the different agricultural crops and such that the classification indicates the agricultural potential and limitation in a region.  This system also enable a useful interpretation of the possible land utilization types.  An advantage of this system is that the meteorological data required for the classification are generally available in the country. A global system of classifying world climate such as Papadakis system has shown that this system can be used to classify the climate of Peninsular Malaysia to a great level of detail.
