Contribution to the climatology of the temperature conditions in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
The relationship between geographical latitude as well as between orographic altitude and the mean monthly temperatures are being determined by correlation analyses. The elevated-heatsource-effcct of the Mexican Meseta may be estimated at 0.2° C per 1000 m of altitude. The temperature as a function of the altitude is less pronounced in winter than in the fall and summer.
