What does the Thornthwaite Method estimate?
Think about water loss and evaporation.
Which parameter is NOT in the Thornthwaite equation?
Look at the given variables in the equation.
What is the Thornthwaite Method primarily used for?
Consider the topic we've just discussed.
In the Thornthwaite formula, what does 'I' represent?
Recall our discussion about annual factors in evapotranspiration.
Given the following mean monthly temperatures (in °C): January (2), February (5), March (10), April (15), July (25), calculate PET for April using the Thornthwaite Method if Annual Heat Index 'I' is estimated at 50.
Don't forget to apply the formula carefully!
Discuss how climate variability might affect the empirical exponent 'a'. What implications does this have on the accuracy of the Thornthwaite Method in different regions?
Consider how different environments respond to temperature changes.
