Air Photo Interpretation for Spatial Analysis of Heritage Agrarian Structures in Mediterranean Settings as Sea-Breezes Proxy-Data. Application to the Island of Mallorca

Historical aerial photographs are valuable sources of climate information. In the present article, a reconstruction of the sea-breezes in Mallorca is described, based on wind-direction interpretation of threshing floors captured by the aerial photographs in 1956–1957 by the United States Army Map Se...
