What is a climate ratio?
Climate ratio is used to describe the moisture side of climate. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region. One way to do this is to express the relationship between them as a ratio using the formula: Climate ratio = P / Ep When the potential evaporation is greater than yearly precipitation, this ratio is less than 1. When precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration, the ratio is greater than 1. P: precipitation (in mm) or the amount of moisture available for evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and plant respiration. Ep: potential evapotranspiration (in mm) or the amount of moisture needed for evapotranspiration. This value increases as temperature and plant life increase. The climate ratios are used to determine climate type: P/Ep: Less than 0.4: arid climate 0.4 - 0.8: semiarid climate 0.8 - 1.2: subhumid climate Greater than 1.2: humid climate Source: NOAA
