Abstract: Investigations and definition of the climatic types in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been based on Köppen Climatic Classification. The differentiation of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian territory has been carried out and based on the results of the numerous climatic (physical-geographical especially) factors and the quantitative-spatial dynamics of the main climatic elements and established causal liks between them. Three main climatic classes in Bosnia and Herzegovina: C, D and E have been defined according to the Köppen Climatic Classification. Thedetailed analysis of the pluviometric regime has been carried out. On that basis, the following main climatic types have been defined: Cf – temperate warm and humid climate; Cs – Mediterranean climate; Df – humid boreal climate; ET – tundra climate. In total, eight climatic subtypes with the climatic subvariants on the level of the five alpha-index values have been defined by the final detailed quantitative analysis of the termic and pluviometric regimes and their spatial distributions.

Keywords: climatic regionalization, Köppen Climatic Classification, climatic factors, climatic elements, climatic classes, main climatic types, climatic subtypes.
