Description
This climate state is characterised by high temperatures, precipitation and moderate evapotranspiration with minor seasonal variations. This results in high effective moisture, and a well defined network of perennial streams with high run-off. Vegetation cover is complete and continuous. Such a climate may occur if the greenhouse effect becomes dominant and glaciation cycling ends.
