THE BIOCLIMATIC STRESS DUE TO OVERHEATING IN THE SOUTHERN DOBRUDJAN TABLELAND AREA
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study, regarding the extent and intensity of bioclimatic stress due to overheating in Southern Dobrudjan Tableland area, is based on the analysis of the geographical distribution and of time variation of some relevant bioclimatic indices for the summer period: The Summer Scharlau Index (ISE), The Relative Strain Index (RSI) and the Summer Simmer Index (SSI). In order to highlighten the areas of bioclimatic discomfort, we have processed the air-temperature and humidity data from six weather stations in the area of reference, for 30 years (1971-2000). The results we have obtained, fully concordant with world-wide approaches, emphasize that the bioclimatic stress due to overheating gets more intense in the central-continental and eastern sea-side parts of the territory under study, in July and August.
