Fig. 9From: Update of global maps of Alisov’s climate classificationRegions with dry and moist air masses (shading) obtained by subdividing each air mass zone (Fig. 5) into two clusters, and surface precipitation greater than 3 mm day−1 (white contour) in the (a) O–M half-year and (b) A–S half-year. The contour interval is 3 mm day−1. The blank areas mean the same as in Fig. 5.
