Just getting around to posting these now that it's been weeks since I sent them in, but here's my second series of maps for @jayrockin‘s Runaway to the Stars project! This is the home planet of their Avian species of aliens, and being predominantly ocean-covered and having an obliquity of only 11 degrees, these factors result in a somewhat more stable, less seasonally variable climate than we see on Earth. Every image here is helpfully (hopefully) captioned, but for a quick summary, these maps represent the elevation data (with and without a color gradient and water systems); the seasonal ice extent (limited to the Equinoxes and an Annual Average since the Winter and Summer sea-ice extents aren’t that different and there’s very little land ice outside the poles); and maps showing the Average Annual Temperature, Total Annual Precipitation, a combination of the two along with a key, and, finally, a map broken down into distinct zones based on temperature and precipitation, ice cover, mountains, seasonality, and Continentality vs Oceanity, based loosely on the Trewartha climate classification system.
