The monthly mean daily wind speed data monitored at 10 m above ground level for a period of 20 years (1983 2003) for 28 ground stations operated by the Nigeria Meteorological Services NIMETT) were used as training (18 stations) and testing (10 stations) dataset.
Mean ambient daily temperature (°C), mean daily wind speed (ms−1) and total daily precipitation (mm) data were available from a standard weather station of the Finnish Meteorological Institute at Tvärminne Zoological Station (international identification number WMO 05493, national identification number LPNN 0202) located about 1.5 to 3.5 km north of the Daphnia populations on the studied islands.
The average mean daily wind speed (u2) during the mid-season stage at Taipei is about 1.3 m/s and the minimum relative humidity (RHmin) during this stage averages 75%.
The relative impact of climate on Kc mid is illustrated in Figure 32 where the adjustments to the values from Table 12 are shown for various types of climates, mean daily wind speeds and various crop heights.
Climatic data were drawn from a global 10 arc-minute dataset of monthly mean (1961 1990) daily maximum and minimum air temperature and monthly mean daily relative humidity, wind speed and cloud cover32.
In this study, the objective of assessing the speed of germination, mean germination time, mean daily germination, peak value, germination value, and germination percent of the two tree species was addressed by sowing positions that gave better results of germination.
Meteorological variables collected from both locations included mean daily temperature (°C), mean daily relative humidity, mean daily wind speed (km/hr) and total global solar radiation (MJ/m).
These data acquired from global public domain included mean daily temperature, diurnal temperature range, vapor pressure, cloud cover, and wind speed.
Abbreviations: Tmax, maximum daily temperature; Tmean, mean daily temperature; Tmin, minimum daily temperature; Rh, relative humidity; WDSP, wind speed.
