General procedure to initialize the cyclic soil water balance by the Thornthwaite and Mather method Critério geral para iniciar o balanço hídrico pelo método de Thornthwaite e Mather [PDF]
The original Thornthwaite and Mather method, proposed in 1955 to calculate a climatic monthly cyclic soil water balance, is frequently used as an iterative procedure due to its low input requirements and coherent estimates of water balance components ...
