Who was Vladimir Köppen?

Question

As part of my geography class, we were asked to find information about Vladimir Köppen. While I can find info on his climate classification system, I can't find any info about him. Here is the original question from my professor.
I would like you to browse the Internet and learn about the scientist “Vladimir Koppen.” He designed the Koppen climate classification system. Who was he? Where did he live? When did he design the system? How did he design it?

Any websites pertaining to this information would be very helpful.

Answer 1

Wladimir Peter Köppen ( (born September 25, 1846 in Saint Petersburg, Russia — died June 22, 1940 in Graz, Austria) was a Russian born geographer, meteorologist, climatologist and botanist. Of German descent himself, he spent the bulk of his life and professional career in Germany and Austria. His most notable contribution to science was the development of the Köppen climate classification system, which, with some modifications, is still commonly used. Köppen began a systematic study of the climate and also experimented with balloons to obtain data from upper layers of the atmosphere. In 1884, he published the first version of his map of climatic zones in which the seasonal temperature ranges were plotted. This work led to the development of the Köppen climate classification system around 1900, which he kept improving for the rest of his life. The full version of his system appeared first in 1918 and, after several modifications, the final version was published in 1936.

Honestly it doesn't matter to me. I'd say no manger. He can do just as well without disagreeing. He's already over (if that's what you want to call it) with the fans, he's a top heel, he has an excellent wrestling background, and he has a unique character. If anything, the manager would just hold him back. WWE doesn't use managers as cleverly as they use to. I don't really want to see any dead weight standing at ringside and raising Kozlov's hand every time he wins a match. We have enough of that with Mark Henry and Great Khali. You make a good point though. A team with Umaga and Kozlov would be kinda cool. Plus both are monster heels and good wrestlers. You don't see too much of that in WWE. They would make a dominant team in my opinion. If this were to happen though, I say wait until Kozlov has won the WWE championship. Then they could show that tag team aren't just used to get guys over, but established main event guys can form alliances too.

Answer 3

Vladimir Peter Köppen (25 september 1846 – 22 juni 1940) was een Duits bioloog die in 1918 een klimaatclassificatie heeft opgesteld. Daarbij ging hij uit van de plantengroei: de klimaatgrenzen werden op basis van minimale en maximale gemiddelde maandtemperatuur bepaald door het verspreidingsgebied van bepaalde planten.
