Twentieth Century climatology was dominated by two great figures:
Wladamir Kppen and C. Warren Thornthwaite. The first carefully
developed climatic parameters to match the larger world vegetation
communities. The second developed complex formulas of "Moisture
Factors" that provided efficient understanding of how
evapotranspiration influences plant growth and health, both for
native and non-native communities. In the latter half of the
Twentieth Century, the Sunset Magazine Corporation develop a purely
empirical set of Garden Zones, first for California. This thesis
examines the digitized zones with reference to PRISM climate data.
Variable coverages resembling those described by Sunset are
extracted from the PRISM data. These variable coverages are
collected for two buffered areas, one in northern California and
one in southern California. This process is quite amenable for
further examination of other regions of California
