We also tested the potential interaction between O3-8hr and temperatures variables, and we introduced in the models a variable taking into account humidity levels (maximum daily relative humidity).
Monthly averages of meteorological parameters (maximum daily temperature, morning humidity, daily rainfall and morning barometric pressure) were acquired from the Regional Meteorological Centre, Mumbai for the study period.
The contour plots indicate a nonlinear model is appropriate for including temperature (as maximum daily temperature) and relative humidity (as mean daily relative humidity) in the predictive models.
Soybean harvest moisture content ranged from 10.8% to 25.7% (w.b .. Inside the trailer, grain temperatures remained relatively uniform throughout the trailer and were near to maximum daily ambient temperatures; relative humidity levels remained relatively uniform during transport.
For both weather variables (maximum daily temperature and relative humidity), adding this three-way interaction increased model fit substantially (Table 1c).
A multivariate model that expresses global solar irradiance in terms of location latitude, daily relative sunshine, maximum daily temperature, daily average relative humidity, and cosine of day number was developed.
When the daily maximum variations are examined, one sees that the maximum daily difference in the relative humidity values is in the range of 12%, whilst this is negligible for temperature values.
Five climatic variables including wind speed (WS), sunlight duration (SD), relative humidity (RH), maximum daily temperature (Tm) and minimum daily temperature (Tn), were selected to identify the contribution to variability of ETo.
Following defoliation solar radiation increased, daily humidity decreased, and maximum daily temperatures tended to increase.
The inclusion of the maximum daily temperature and daily mean relative humidity makes the model much more sensitive to climatic and weather changes.
