Table 5.

Seasonal effects on climate and on perimetric sensitivity within each geographic zone.

Seasonal Variation in:
Zone Temperature (°C) Sunlight (Hours per day) A ΔMD (dB) B
North 30 7 0.22
Central 27 7 0.10
West 12 6 0.07
Pacific Northwest 19 8 0.06
Atlantic 26 5 0.03
Southeast 15 5 0.02
A

Taken as the maximum monthly mean minus the minimum monthly mean, averaged over all test sites within that zone.

B

The magnitude of the seasonal effect on the change in perimetric Mean Deviation since the previous visit (ΔMD), taken from Table 2. Zones are ordered according to the seasonal effect on ΔMD.
