Köppen-Supan line

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010585

A theoretical boundary that delineates the region where the warmest month's mean temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, indicating the limit of tree growth. This line is a key component in the Köppen climate classification system, separating polar climates from temperate and tropical climates. It corresponds to the treeline in many parts of the world, particularly at high latitudes.
