What are the climatic zones of the Cauca River Valley?
The intensity of the gray tones defines the scale from higher (darker) to lower (lighter) for each variable.
Global radiation: direct radiation (that which falls on a surface directly from the sun) + diffuse radiation (that which arrives after being reflected or is emitted by the molecules after being heated by the absorption effect of solar radiation).
