Diamonds represent measured data collected under all sky conditions. The solid line represents the UV (290-325 am) irradiance calculated at local noon by means of the STAR model for cloud-free conditions as described in [5]. Climatological values of the model input parameters for both stations are used (Table 1). 

Molion (1975) employed climatological data (average charts of wind and specific humidity seasonal values) and the method of Penman (1963) to estimate that about 52% of the rain falling on the region was lost through the river. Similarly Villa Nova et al. (1976) applied Penman s method adapted to forested regions by Shiau and Davar (1973) and calculated that evaporation represented 54%, and 46% of rainfall was lost to the river.

This standard considers the stability of plastics when they are exposed outdoors. The relative durability of plastics in outdoor use can be very different depending on the location of the exposure because of the differences in UV radiation, wetness, temperature, pollutants (acid rains, for example), and many other factors. Hence, exposure in several locations with different climates that represent a broad range of anticipated service conditions are recommended by this ASTM. Still, because of year-to-year climatological variations, resnlts of exposure in 1 year cannot be used to predict the absolute rate at which a material degrades. Therefore, several years of repeated exposure to get an average test result for a given location is recommended. 

Written similarly, g, is also called the climatological conductance (Monteith and Unsworth, 1990). In any case, likegs, gs represents the surface control of E by balancing radiant energy supply and atmospheric demand (Dq). Consequently, as shown below, evalu-...
