AspNS = sine (radiant [aspect angle in degree]); †AspEW = cosine (radiant [aspect angle in degree]); ‡Isothermality % = Mean Diurnal Range (MDR)/Temperature Annual Range (TAR); where MDR = Mean of monthly (max temp – min temp)); TAR = Max Temperature of Warmest Month – Min Temperature of Coldest Month. Isothermality is a quantification of how large the day-to-night temperature oscillation is in comparison to the summer-to-winter oscillation. A value of 100 would represent a site where the diurnal temperature range is equal to the annual temperature range. A value of 50 would indicate a location where the diurnal temperature range is half of the annual temperature range.
