If you could modify or replace the Köppen classification system what information would you incorporate that is not currently part of the system?

What will be an ideal response?


I would modify the system to include information from satellites and/or weather balloons and to reduce the dependence on vegetation because many areas do not have much "natural" vegetation anymore. It might be valuable to measure the amount of ozone, various pollutants, air pressure, or the height of measurable water vapor and bring that into the climate system if our goal is to provide useful information for the human population.
