The sunshine, the wind velocity, the combined sun and sky radiation, 

 the wet bulb depression, and the evaporation were automatically recorded. 

 The results of some of these measurements, combined in 5-day periods 

 for the sake of brevity, though not without sacrifice, are given in Tables 

 III and IV. The discussion of the influence of climate on water require- 

 ment has purposely been restricted, since such correlations as may 

 exist can best be determined when discussed in connection with the 

 results from other stations established for this purpose.
