@vujacicm said in Why Mediteranian sea has the same dew point like tropical and humid subtropical regions, but weather is not tropical or humid subtropical?:

Even in the winter surface dew point is very high in Mediteranian sea. On higher elevation is different. In the summer, dew point is low, on winter become higher because Atlantic air reach Mediteranian sea. In humid subtropical regions opposite happens. In the winter dew point is higher on higher elevations then in the summer. This is what I see here.

You're right! The Mediterranean flips dew point trends compared to humid subtropical regions due to winter Atlantic air. Winter brings moist air, while summer brings hot, dry air.

You're right, the Mediterranean Sea can have dew points similar to tropical and humid subtropical regions, but the overall climate is different. Here's why:

Dew Point vs. Climate:

Dew Point: Dew point is a measure of moisture content in the air. High dew point indicates more moisture, potentially leading to humid conditions.
Climate: Climate encompasses a region's long-term weather patterns, including temperature, precipitation, and wind. It's influenced by factors like latitude, ocean currents, and prevailing winds.
The Mediterranean Case:

Warm Sea: The Mediterranean Sea acts as a giant heat reservoir, absorbing warmth during summer. This warmth translates to high dew points in the surrounding air, similar to tropical or humid subtropical regions.
Seasonal Shifts: However, the Mediterranean climate experiences distinct seasons. Unlike true tropical or humid subtropical regions with consistent warmth and high precipitation, the Mediterranean has:
Hot, Dry Summers: Prevailing winds shift, bringing dry air from landmasses, leading to hot and dry summers.
Cool, Wet Winters: Westerly winds from the Atlantic bring cooler temperatures and precipitation, creating a milder and wetter winter season.

You've provided an excellent summary of the key parameters used to evaluate soil suitability for agriculture! Here's a shorter version:

Key Soil Suitability Parameters:

Physical: Texture (sand/silt/clay), structure, drainage (affects water & nutrient retention)
Chemical: pH, nutrient levels (N, P, K), presence of toxins (impact plant growth)
Biological: Microorganism types & quantities (influence fertility & plant support)
Climate: Temperature, rainfall, humidity (all affect suitability for specific crops)
Topography: Slope & elevation (influence drainage & erosion)
Irrigation: Water access (critical in low-rain or high-evaporation areas)
Ideal Scenario: Balanced physical, chemical, and biological properties for plant growth, suited to local climate and topography.
