An Apple Pie from Scratch, Part VIb: Climate: Biomes and Climate Zones

Now that we've outlined the essential properties of our world's global climate, it's time to get into the particulars. For Earthlike worlds, the atmospheric convection cells should broadly determine the positions of major bands of climate-tropical, desert, temperate, tundra-but if we really want to get a sense of the weather, seasons, wildlife, and geology of a particular spot on the world-in essence, what it would be like to be there-then we have to start getting into how climate plays out locally.
