    abstract = {The objective was to examine the relationship between dew point temperature, 
  relative humidity of the air and sun shine hours in Jos, Nigeria and derived 
  the predictive model. The 10 years (2001 to 2010) of measurements were obtained 
  from the weather observatory at the University of Jos, for analyses. The sunshine 
  duration (in hours and tenths) were fundamentally measured while the dew point 
  temperature and the relative humidities were derived from the Mason’s 
  psychrometer with the aid of the Blundell Harling humidity slide rule. Regression 
  analysis techniques were then used to analyse and examine the relationships 
  between the weather elements. The coefficient of regressional analysis R<SUP>2 
  </SUP>and R<SUB>a</SUB><SUP>2</SUP> (R<SUP>2</SUP> adjusted) were calculated. 
  An empirical equation which was derived was used to compare the measured dew 
  point temperature values and the predicted. That of R<SUP>2</SUP> gave 98.5% 
  while that of R<SUB>a</SUB><SUP>2</SUP> registered 88.0%. It was discovered 
  that the developed model can be used for the prediction of dew point temperature 
  on a short and long-term basis.}
