Abstract
An array of 28 climatic variables for 113 stations in Queensland, Australia, is subjected to factor analysis and cluster analysis. The factor analytical approach elucidated three major factors, a humidity factor, a temperature factor, and a rainfall factor, from the matrix. Spatial variation of factor scores was described and linear equations were compiled using the factor loadings that are significant. By grouping these factor scores with the aid of a distanceβgrouping technique, Queensland was classified into three major homogeneous climatic regions. A further 12 subclimatic regions have also been identified. These regions were compared with Koppen's classification scheme.

Due to increasing interest in the prediction of detailed regional climate, a method to deduce local climate distributions from large-scale variables is proposed. Since surface parameters are dqficult to reproduce with the current resolution of General Circulation Models (GCMs), a statistical approac
