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 (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,…
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…
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 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…
