Description
In late 1800s, weather and climates were poorly understood. They needed someone to study it carefully over a long period of time. Köppen moved to Hamburg, Germany as head weatherman at the Deutsche Seewarte, the German Marine Observatory on the Baltic Sea. His job was to start one of the world's first daily weather reports. He helped set up weather stations on the North Sea and train its staff. From around the world, he gathered other weather data.
The World's First Climate MapSlowly, that childhood problem of changing landscapes came into focus as he developed the world's first climate map. Still today, we use Köppen's maps, with some slight modifications. Köppen's maps still help us understand the world's ecosystems and plan for the future.
