Abstract

Energy based temperature prediction equation was developed and tested for cold desert area for clear sunny days. Linear regression equations were found suitable to predict maximum and minimum air temperature, relative humidity and evaporation in the greenhouse with correlation coefficients 97%, 98%, 95% and 97%, respectively.
