Potential Paddy Rice Yields for Rainfed and Irrigated Agriculture in China and Korea
YIELD, a water-balance and crop-yield model that calculates production and water consumption variables for a variety of major crops, was applied specifically for wetland rice to China and Korea in order to estimate the region's potential and actual yields for irrigated and rainfed rice production. A network of 241 stations provided the climatic data averaged over approximately a 25-year period. Highest potential yields under full irrigation for a…
Climatology for Geographers∗
Climatology is reviewed and redefined in terms of relevance to geography, and a programmatic statement for future research is presented. Instead of enumerating substantive areas, physical geography is defined and ranked according to five levels of methodology and attendant philosophy. The essence of geographical climatology is the analysis and description of process-response systems of importance to mankind occurring within the planetary boundary…
Solar Radiation and Urban Heat Islands
A model which attempts to simulate urban absorption of solar radiation is concerned with direct solar radiation, diffuse sky radiation, diffuse radiation reflected by buildings and streets, and the shortwave energy absorbed by typical urban structures. The ratio between solar radiation absorbed by three-dimensional building-street systems and two-dimensional horizontal surfaces under cloudless conditions indicates that cities undergo great variat…
Energy Budget and Photosynthesis of Canopy Leaves
The relation between leaves (broad and needle leaves) in a canopy and parts of the soil-atmosphere environment is modeled and analyzed. The parameters examined are concerned with short and longwave radiation, reradiation, and latent and convectional heat fluxes at the leaf level. The resulting leaf energy budget is empirically linked to a generalized model of potential photosynthesis whose major inputs are solar radiation and leaf temperature. Th…
Potential Solar Radiation Climates of Man
A deterministic system of models relates man and other vertical objects to horizontal shortwave radiation under cloudless conditions, and permits comparison of actual conditions with an ideal standard. This is the first in a system of increasingly more complex models which will eventually solve the entire energy balance equation in bioclimatology. The parameters examined are concerned with direct solar radiation, diffuse sky radiation, diffuse ra…
The Energy Balance Climatology of a City-Man System
The urban energy balance climatology of the city and man in the Los Angeles basin was examined during a cloudy day (“Catalina eddy”) in September, 1968, from about sunrise to sunset, by measuring or estimating solar radiation, net radiation, ground heat flux, actual surface temperature, terrain radiant temperature, radiant sky temperature, and dry and wet-bulb temperature for the physical urban interface. An analogous theoretical model attempted …
Urban Energy Balance Climatology
M SOST studies in urban climatology have been conducted by measuring traditional parameters, especially air temperature, on a rather small scale.' Apparently no major attempts have been made to determine the energy-balance climatology of cities,2 except for estimates of the ratio of artificial heat generation to radiational heat3 and investigations of the relationship between solar radiation and air pollution.4 But with relation to energy-balance…
Annual Physioclimatic Stresses and Regimes in the United States
G EEOGRAPHICAL and climatological literature abounds with references to the stress, temperateness, or intemperateness of climates. Most of these generalizations are qualitative, subjective statements, not based on concise criteria defining the constituent elements or describing how they could be mapped.' This study proposes a quantitative approach to the problem of climatic stress by introducing three annual indices: annual Cumulative Stress (CS)…
Physiologic Climates of the Conterminous United States
This study deals with human comfort expressed in a physio-climatic classification. Four physiological and psychological reactions of man to temperature, relative humidity, wind chill, and solar radiation are combined into two nomograms from which average human reactions can be deduced. Comfort and Wind Effect Indices are applied to meteorological data of the conterminous United States for July and January, daytime and nighttime, respectively. Map…
