✦ Synopsis

Simple evapotranspirometers were established at two contrasting sites in Malta as part of a programme aimed at assessing the moisture characteristics of the climate. Measurements were obtained for 18 months. Evaluation illustrates the operation of the "oasis effect" and other problems. A method is proposed for determining when the effect is operative and appropriate adjustment factors should be applied. Residual contrasts between values from the two sites may reflect differences of exposure and local climate--or deficiencies of method. A plea is made for more measurement in semi-arid environments, using large experimental areas, despite the inevitably high cost.

For an operational agricultural zonation, a detailed mapping of agroclimatic conditions is essential. Potential evapotranspiration, in spite of its importance in evaluating water limitations to crops, is difficult to determine. This is due to the lack of sufficiently dense observations of some esse
