Attachment 1: Classification of Climate

A. CLASSIFICATION OF OLDEMAN CLIMATE Climate Oldeman is classified to 5 types based on number of wet month consecutively, whilst subdivision consists of 4 depend on dry month consecutively (Table 1) Table 1. Criteria of Climate Oldeman
Main Type A B C D E Wet month consecutively >9 79 56 34 <3 Sub Division 1 2 3 4 Dry month respectively <2 23 46 >6

Months Wet month (WM) Humid month (HM) Dry month (DM)

Average monthly rainfall in mm > 200 100- 200 < 100

Table 2. Interpretation of Climate Oldeman for Farming Systems

Climate type A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2, C3, C4 D1 D2, D3, D4 E Farming system Suitable for rice field, low yield because of low radiation Suitable for rice field, high yield if harvesting in dry season Suitable for 2 times past ripping rice field, in dry season for secondary crop Rice field 1 time, and 2 times secondary crop Rice field 1 time, and 1-2 times secondary crop Rice field 1 time, and 1 times secondary crop Only rice field 1 time or 1 times secondary crop Only 1 time secondary crop Cropping pattern Rice-rice-rice or rice-ricesecondary crop Rice-rice-rice or rice-ricesecondary crop Rice-rice-secondary crop Rice + 2 secondary crop Rice + 1-2 secondary crop Rice + 1 secondary crop Rice field or secondary crop Secondary crop

B. CLASSIFICATION OF SCHMIDT-FERGUSON CLIMATE Classification of Schmidt-Ferguson climate have utilized in forest and estates areas in Indonesia. The criteria based on Q value, it is comparison between dry month (DM) and wet month (WM), and multiple 100% (Q = DM/WM x 100%). The criteria of wet month and dry month:
Type of Months Wet month (WM) Humid month (HM) Dry month (DM) Monthly Precipitation > 100 mm 60-100 mm < 60 mm

Classification of Schmidt-Ferguson climate was based on Q value, and classified to eight climate types: Table 3. Classification of Schmidt-Ferguson Climate
Climate type A B C D E F G H Q value (%) < 14.3 14.3 33.3 33.3 60.0 60.0 100.0 100.0 167.0 167.0 300.0 300.0 700.0 > 700.0 Condition of climate and vegetation Very wet region, tropical rain forest Wet region, tropical rain forest Somewhat wet region, deciduous forest, in dry season Moderately climate, seasonal forest Somewhat dry climate, savanna forest Dry climate, savanna forest Very dry climate, grass Extremely dry climate, grass
