1918 T. G. Taylor Austral. Environment viii. 30 The two chief controls..are temperature and rainfall... To the graph representing these controls I have given the name hythergraph—from the Greek words for rain and heat. [Note] Tyler has used the word ‘hyther’ to express the joint effect of humidity and temperature.
1940 Ecology 21 189/1 Though shown..as being an area of tall grass, the hythergraphs of stations in the area depart somewhat from the typical grassland figure and approach diagrams of the deciduous forest.
2017 Chem. Geol. 466 230/1 The monthly mean temperature and precipitation profiles for the city of Hà Giang..and for Cát Bà Island are shown as hythergraphs.
