Assessment of human bioclimate based on thermal response
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1985To assess the thermal component of human climate, the adequacy of two body-environment energy balance models is tested. Requirements are that these models should include the full range of atmospheric variables using a system which embraces both the attributes of those exposed and the functional attributes of the environment.

Heat Island and Thermal Bioclimate in Athens, Greece
2012Urbanization and industrialization are the main causes of the well documented climatic phenomenon called heat island. As the problem is worse in big cities, more urban residents complain about discomfort conditions. In this context, the aim of the present study is a combinational approach of heat island and thermal bioclimate in the city of Athens. For

A New Map of Morocco Bioclimates
2014The climate is one of the main factors influencing soil and vegetation degradation; his characteristics are evaluated by using the parameters that affect the availability of water rainfall, temperature, insolation and wind. Studies on the characterization of climate are needed to assess the constraints of different types of weather in terms of water ...
