摘要北非-地中海地区的月平均地面风流线图是从预先准备的北半球集合中提取的。这些图表定义了平均气流来源和平均汇合点或“锋面”。然后从每月流线图中提取气流持续时间和季节性静止汇合位置的综合图表。气流的季节性、持续时间和平均边界及其性质定义了一种成因气候区域的模式。这种完全来自气候数据的模式被发现与生物模式非常匹配。
Abstract Mean monthly surface wind streamline charts for the North Africa-Mediterranean region are extracted from a previously prepared Northern Hemisphere set. These charts define mean airstream sources and mean confluences or “fronts.” Composite charts of airstream duration and seasonally stationary confluence positions are then extracted from the monthly streamline charts. The seasonality, duration and mean boundaries of the airstreams and their properties define a pattern of genetic climatic regions. This pattern derived entirely from climatic data is found to match the biotic pattern quite well.
