Group 19, 20 mixtures of Olson. In Olson 1992 and earlier, coastal types 65, 66, 67, and 68 were separated 
by whether the main quadrant with land was northwest, northeast, southeast or southwest, respectively, regardless 
of which coastal Types (in 72-73 or 80-87) prevailed. For details on BATS Group and Basic Type lists see:
