in which areas of the world each category occurs.

c.   To establish standard descriptions of ambient air temperature,
humidity and direct solar radiation for each of these categories in
terms of diurnal and annual variations.

d.   To recommend in particular, diurnal cycles of temperature, humidity
and direct solar radiation for use in determining design criteria.

e.   To identify the other climatic factors which are significant in
