This map was constructed using a program called ExoPlaSim, an "intermediate" climate model powerful enough to model full surfaces but not requiring a supercomputer to run. It was originally run at 64 by 128 resolution, and then climate data was interpolated up to 512 by 1024 and used to classify the surface into Koppen climate zones (plus a simple breakdown of climate in the oceans, though there wasn't much ice in this case). I've written up a guide to this process here.
