Detection of similar Homoclimates by Numerical Analysis

Abstract

Numerical methods including cluster analysis, similarity measures and other techniques were used to compare climatic data from Bulgarian stations in order to classify them according similar homoclimate. Using Euclidean distance and City-block (Manhattan) distance, data from Bulgaria and states of the USA were analyzed to reveal homoclime. Similarities in conditions for growth and development of crops of these areas were also determined
