fréquence et diversité des types de climats annuels au Brésil pour la période 1961 - 2015

International audienceFrequency and diversity of "Annual Climate Types" in Brazil for the 1961-2015 period – This article proposes to use the Köppen classification to define "Annual Climate Types" (ACT) for a set of 208 stations, representative of theclimatic diversity of Brazil. The average monthly temperature and precipitation data for the period 1961-2015 allow toestablished the frequency of ACTs for each station. The statistical and cartographic treatment of this information makes itpossible to define the limits of the climates of Brazil. This approach allows us to propose a detailed study of the transitionsbetween the tropical climates types (mainly Aw, Am and Af) and those of the south, subtropical and temperate (Cwa and Cfain particular) and discuss these climatic limits
