| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ice nucleation temperature of tea leaves (Tice) was investigated in relation to their surface temperature, giving rise to a simple formula to express the seasonal variation of Tice. Newton's low of cooling was applied to infer temperature decreases during the night. Results were extended to estimate the difference between air temperature and surface one using an empirical/theoretical approach. Several criteria were originally proposed to give scientific basis to the predict occurrence of frost or frost damages to the crops using both temperatures. Finally a frost-risk map in the targeted morning was drawn using the data of GPS-PWV and air temperature obtained on the last evening at each of GPS station and its neighboring station.
