Which Köppen climate type (or types) is most closely associated with the distribution of the boreal forest biome?
Using the global map of biome distribution (Map T-30 in the back of the Lab Manual), the map of climate distribution (Map T-29), the maps of global temperature (Maps T-28a and T-28b), the map of global precipitation (on the inside front cover of the Lab Manual), as well as information about Köppen climate types from Exercise 23, answer the question.
What will be an ideal response?

Is precipitation more likely at Point D or Point C? Why?
The question is based on this hypothetical weather map in the Northern Hemisphere showing isobars and the positions of a cold front and a warm front (top of map is north). Six locations are marked on the map (points A, B, C, D, E, and F). A cross-section diagram along points A, B, C, D, E, and F is shown below the map.
