Consider the following statements about the Thornthwaite approach.
1. It computes potential evapotranspiration from temperature and daylength.
2. It identifies periods of water surplus and deficit through the year.
3. It requires no precipitation data at all.

  • A.1 only
  • B.All of them
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct. The third is impossible, since a water balance needs both the supply and the demand and precipitation is the supply. Both halves of the balance are needed. Temperature and daylength give the demand.
