Files in this folder that contain numbers, e.g. ALPO_26,  are for Koppen climate zones within parks. ALPO_26 is Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site zone 26. Files that do not contain numbers are for park centroids. The coordinates for park centroids are given in the 0search_coords.csv file in this folder. The coordinates for the Koppen points are given in the file called Climate_Zones_by_Unit_cleaned.csv.


 The key for the climate zones is as follows:
