A NOMOGRAM TO DETERMINE MONTHLY POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION

Abstract
A nomogram for the solution of Thornthwaite's empirical relationships among mean monthly temperature, latitude, and potential evapotranspiration is constructed. In the form of alignment charts, the nomogram is simple to use and has the added advantages of the temperature scale being labeled in both degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit and of the potential evapotranspiration scale being labeled in both centimeters and inches.
