Résumé
The climates of Arizona (United States) and Sonora (Mexico) were divided into 20 different types in this study. This division of the land areas according to climate were based upon mean maximum, mean, and mean minimum monthly temperatures that have occurred during periods of record. Elevation was closely correlated with temperature, with warmest climates at the lower elevations. Latitude played an important part in determining temperature. A method of matching climates was proposed and described. Careful matching of climates facilitates sharing of re search and experiences relative to the production of agronomic and horticultural crops.
