ombrothermic Explanation: Presumably it's a typo. Climate diagrams are diagrams that summarize trends in temperature and precipitation for at least 30 years. They allow to establish the relationship between temperature and precipitation and to determine the length of dry, wet, and extremely wet periods. These diagrams are also called Walter Lieth diagrams or ombrothermic diagrams because in the same diagram the researcher plots months of the year in the X-axis, average monthly temperature in one Y-axis graph (Y1) and total monthly precipitation in the other Y-axis (Y2). http://ecoplexity.org/?q=node/906 Marcel-Henri Gaussen (14 July 1891 in Cabrières-d'Aigues (Vaucluse) - 27 July 1981 in Toulouse), was a French botanist and biogeographer. Muséum de Toulouse - Jardin botanique Henri Gaussen - La spirale ethnobotanique. In 1926, he defended his thesis on "the vegetation of the eastern half of the Pyrenees", which laid the foundation for future work on the border between biogeography and vegetation mapping. Gaussen was an early advocate of the ideas of stages and vegetation succession, which are fundamental to phytogeography. His work allowed for the production of a vegetation map of France at a scale of 1/200 000 (completed after his death by the service of the CNRS, but which he had created and directed) and many similar projects in other countries. His work led to many advanced phytogeographic tools such as "Gaussen index", the "xerothermic index" and "ombrothermic diagram". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Gaussen -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2017-08-27 03:32:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Io: Ombrothermic Index. Io = (Pp/Tp) 10. Ten times the quotient resulting value between the yearly positive precipitation in mm (Pp) and the yearly positive temperature (Tp) (see "Pp" and "Tp" above). Iosi: Ombrothermic index of any month of summer quarter (Tr3: June, July and August, in the Northern Hemisphere; and December, January and February, in Southern Hemisphere). http://www.globalbioclimatics.org/book/namerica2/namerica_02... ombro- COMBINING FORM Relating to rain. ‘ombrotrophic’ Origin From Greek ombros ‘rain shower’. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/ombro- So basically, it's a climate graph or climate chart, showing the rainfall and temperature in a given region: A climate graph is a chart that shows a weather for a certain period of time, for a certain location. The precipitation is usually shown using a bar graph and the temperature is usually shown as a line graph. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/6383216 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2017-08-27 03:38:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, the above link is wrong, here's the correct one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_graph As I said in the discussion, I would use "climate diagram" or "climate chart" instead. |
