Sample page from the Atlas (click to enlarge). The water-from-air resource for China is presented as a series of monthly colour-shaded maps. The resource is graded as being excellent, good, fair, or poor. The grading is based on specific humidity data at the 1000 mb pressure level. The data is from the USA’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The grading system for the maps is designed to be compatible with the grading system used on the Water-from-Air Resource Charts issued by Atmoswater Research for various sites.
These maps offer a quick survey of the water-from-air resource in China. Decisions about deployment of water-from-air systems should also include knowledge from monthly models (suitable for tropical regions with monthly grades consistently ‘good’ to ‘excellent’) and hourly models (essential for temperate regions with variable monthly grades).
