- Detection of cluster contacted by the range

 - Which cluster are surrounded by the range?

 - Which cluster are just scribed by the range and by how much percent?

 - Calculation of the Climate-Match-Index (CMI) for assessment

 - Formula:

  - CMI = Sum of all P x A²

   - A = part of cluster area taken by range in terms of scribed or surrounded cluster-           total area

   - P = part of cluster area taken by range in terms of toal range area
