Consider the following statements about the limitations of climate classification.
1. Any scheme imposes discrete categories on continuous variation.
2. The choice of thresholds is to some degree arbitrary.
3. A good classification removes the need to look at the underlying data.

  • A.All of them
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.3 only
  • D.1 only

Answer: B

The first two are correct and are inherent to the exercise. The third is quite wrong, since a classification is a summary and a summary is never a substitute for the record it summarises. Thresholds are chosen, not discovered.
