Eine Karte der hygrothermischen Klimatypen Afrikas

Abstract

The leading concepts are isotherms and isohygromenes. The iso hygromenes are based on potential regional evaporation (pLV). They could be refered to as regional-ecological isohygromenes. The potential regional evaporation (pLV) is based on the product of equivalent temperature and saturation deficit, and varied in accordance with the prevailing spatial conditions by way of a sliding factor of reduction, which contains the soil-plant rate, the transpirational behaviour of the vegetation, the albedo, the oasis effect, the severity and edaphic factors (fig. 1).
