โฆ Synopsis
This paper reviews some of the methodology employed for investigating aggregate crop--weather relationships, together with the problems encountered. It is supported by an attempt to estimate such a relationship from a short data series for central Norfolk. A chi-square test is used to determine the seasonal significance of weather variables which are then subjected to an analysis of principal components. Employing these components as explanatory variables in multiple regression, the utility of the approach for exploring the economics of the agricultural climate is assessed.
* Temperature and precipitation data were obtained from the Meteorological Office, Bracknell, Berks.
