The
potential
evapotranspiration
concept
was
first
introduced
in
the
late
1940s
and
50s
by
Penman
and
it
is
defined
as
"
the
amount
of
water
transpired
in
a
given
time
by
a
short
green
crop
,
completely
shading
the
ground
,
of
uniform
height
and
with
adequate
water
status
in
the
soil
profile
".
Note
that
in
the
definition
of
potential
evapotranspiration
,
the
evapotranspiration
rate
is
not
related
to
a
specific
crop
.
Climate ratio is used to describe the moisture side of climate. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region. One way to do this is to express the relationship between them as a ratio using the formula: Climate ratio = P / Ep When the potential evaporation is greater than yearly precipitation, this ratio is less than 1. When precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration, the ratio is greater than 1. P: precipitation (in mm) or the amount of moisture available for evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and plant respiration. Ep: potential evapotranspiration (in mm) or the amount of moisture needed for evapotranspiration. This value increases as temperature and plant life increase. The climate ratios are used to determine climate type: P/Ep: Less than 0.4: arid climate 0.4 - 0.8: semiarid climate 0.8 - 1.2: subhumid climate Greater than 1.2: humid climate Source: NOAA

The ratio of all lengths is the same. The ratio of the circumferences = ratio of the radii = 2:3
ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of lengths radii (lengths) in ratio 3 : 4 → volume in ratio 3³ : 4³ = 27 : 64
The golden ratio, or golden mean, or phi, is about 1.618033989. The golden ratio is the ratio of two quantities such that the ratio of the sum to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the smaller. If the two quantities are a and b, their ratio is golden if a > b and (a+b)/a = a/b. This ratio is known as phi, with a value of about 1.618033989. Exactly, the ratio is (1 + square root(5))/2.

We can calculate the climate ratio to determine the climate type.if the climate ratio is less than 0.4 the climate type would be arid,if the climate ratio is between 0.4 to 0.8 climate ratio would be semirid ,if the climate ratio is between 0.8 to 1.2 climate type would be subhumid andif the climate ratio is greater than 1.2 climate type would be humid.The formula for climate ratio is p/Ep, wherep=precipitationEp=potential evapotranspiration.
