β¦ Synopsis
A model of exponential decrease of temperature is applied to the study of night cooling in an agricultural area of citrus orchards located near the Valentian Coast (Spain). A set of annual average parameters which determine that cooling is obtained by using temperature measurements at different levels during two years. These parameters appear to be representative of the thermal behaviour of the area of study.
The attainment of such parameters allows a prediction of the minimum temperatures of the area to an accuracy of 51.5 K, knowing the temperature at sunset and some time later.
