Abstract: The increased interest in the climatology of solar radiation dictates a need for a distribution to fit daily solar radiation totals which tend to have negatively-skewed probability distributions. Even daily mean solar ...

Abstract: Solar radiation information is used in crop growth, boundary layer, entomological and plant pathological models, and in determining the potential use of active and passive solar energy systems. Yet solar radiation is among ...

Abstract: Concern about climatic change and its effects on man has been increasing. Climatic changes affect the production of food and the allocation of energy resources. Proper interpretation of climatic change and the effect of ...

Abstract: Historical series of mean temperatures for climatological divisions and the state of Indiana contain systematic biases, the greatest being about ?1.0°C in the Central Division in the 1940s. When these data are used in ...

Abstract: An empirical site-specific water balance model was generalized to account for cropland drainage effects on soil moisture and evapotranspiration (ET). In predicting soil moisture for well-drained (WD) soils, usually total ...
