The Effects of Elevation on Thermal Bioclimatic Conditions in Uludağ (Turkey)

This study compares the thermal bioclimatic conditions recorded at Bursa (100 m) and Uludağ (1878 m) meteorological stations at 7:00, 14:00 and 21:00 LST (local standard time) between 1975 and 2006, by using the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET), which is calculated from meteorological pa...

The effects of elevation-dependent environmental and atmospheric conditions on thermal perception (i.e., PET) values were analyzed and assessed. The analysis showed that the mean annual difference between PET values in Bursa and Uludağ was 12 ºC. The difference was lower in winter (9 ºC PET) and higher in summer (15 ºC PET). The highest difference between PET values occurred in the afternoon (16 ºC PET) and the lowest difference occurred in the morning (8.4 ºC PET). The differences occur as a result of high altitude and higher surface albedo due to snowfall, which leads to lower PET values and thus to less comfortable thermal conditions. The mean PET values of Bursa and Uludağ decrease 0.67 ºC every 100 m.Se comparan las condiciones térmicas bioclimáticas registradas en las estaciones meteorológicas de Bursa (100 m) y Uludağ (1878 m) a las 7:00, 14:00 y 21:00 horas de 1975 a 2006. Para ello se utiliza la temperatura fisiológica equivalente (TFE), que se calcula por medio de parámetros meteorológicos. Se analizaron y valoraron los efectos de las condiciones ambientales y atmosféricas dependientes de la altura sobre la percepción térmica (i.e., TFE). El análisis mostró que la diferencia anual media de los valores TFE en Bursa y Uludağ fue de 12 ºC. Esta diferencia fue menor en invierno (9 ºC TFE) y mayor en verano (15 ºC TFE). La mayor diferencia en los valores TFE se registró en la tarde (16 ºC TFE) y la menor en la mañana (9 ºC TFE). Las diferencias se deben a la mayor altitud y al mayor albedo debido a las nevadas. Esto ocasiona valores TFE más bajos y por lo tanto condiciones térmicas menos confortables. Los valores TFE medios para Bursa y Uludağ decrecen 0.67 ºC por cada 100 m.Instituto de Ciencias de la Atmósfera y Cambio Climático, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2012-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/atm/index.php/atm/article/view/28098Atmósfera; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2013)Atmósfera; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2013)2395-88120187-6236reponame:Atmósferainstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMenghttps://www.revistascca.unam.mx/atm/index.php/atm/article/view/28098/31891info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/280982024-08-16T16:52:37Z
