Most-cited papers in Physical Geography

ON THE VALIDATION OF MODELS

Cort J. Willmott · 1 Jul 1981

Traditional methods of evaluating geographic models by statistical comparisons between observed and simulated variates are criticized. In particular, it is suggested that the correlation coefficient (r), its square and tests of their statistical significance are inadequate for such purposes. The root mean squared error (RMSE) and related measures as well as a new index of…

THE TOPOGRAPHIC RELATIVE MOISTURE INDEX: AN APPROACH TO SOIL-MOISTURE ASSESSMENT IN MOUNTAIN TERRAIN

Albert J. Parker · 1 Jul 1982

The Topographic Relative Moisture Index (TRMI), designed to indicate the relative soil moisture availability among sites in mountain terrain, is described. The TRMI is a summed scalar index of four slope parameters: topographic position, slope aspect, steepness, and slope configuration. A review of other methods of characterizing site moisture relations, including direct monitoring, water-balance climatology,…

A Revised Thornthwaite-Type Global Climate Classification

Johannes J. Feddema · 1 Jan 2005

Although the Köppen climate classification is the most common climate classification in use today, the 1948 Thornthwaite classification is frequently cited as an improved climate classification system for its rational approach. However, the Thornthwaite classification is infrequently used because it tends to be too complex for use in everyday settings and world maps of the…

DYNAMICS AND CONTROLS OF THE NEAR-SURFACE HEAT ISLAND OF VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

K. E. Runnalls, T. R. Oke · 1 Jul 2000

Temporal aspects of the urban heat island (UHI) of Vancouver, British Columbia, are demonstrated using differences of screen-level air temperature observed at an urban (downtown) and rural (farmland) site for three years. On an annual basis, the UHI is at its maximum near the middle of the night and its minimum is in mid-afternoon. Growth…

An Empirical Method for the Spatial Interpolation of Monthly Precipitation within California

Cort J. Willmott, D.E. Wicks · 1 Jan 1980

An empirical method for interpolating monthly precipitation totals within California is described and evaluated. Using 120 monthly precipitation totals observed from 1961-1970 at each of 90 randomly selected stations in California and a P-mode principal components analysis of a co-variance matrix, four independent sources of precipitation variability were identified and quantitatively paraphrased. The four principal…

Physical Geography template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physical Geography format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physical Geography template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physical Geography use?
Physical Geography uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Physical Geography 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Physical Geography?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Physical Geography document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Physical Geography template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Physical Geography format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
