Matching the Budyko functions with the complementary evaporation relationship: consequences for the drying power of the air and the Priestley–Taylor coefficient

The Budyko functions <i>B</i><sub>1</sub>(Φ<sub>p</sub>) are dimensionless relationships relating the ratio <i>E</i>&thinsp;/&thinsp;<i>P</i> (actual evaporation over precipitation) to the aridity index Φ<sub>p</sub> = &...
