Development Of A Map Of Thornthwaite Moisture Index Isopleths For Queensland

Eric Fox

The Thornthwaite Moisture Index was calculated for 154 sites throughout Queensland, based on meteorological records for an average period of eighty-eight years. The results were plotted to give a map of TMI isopleths for the State. The results illustrate the inaccuracy that can result if short periods of meteorological data are used to calculate TMI.
