Abstract

Models have been developed to estimate leaf wetness duration (LWD) using conventional weather observations, e.g., air temperature, water vapor pressure, and wind speed, which are relatively invariant over space (Pedro and Gillespie, 1982; Gleason et al., 1994; Francl and Panigrahi, 1997).(omitted)
