Thermal bioclimate analysis for Europe and Italy
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 2007Summary. -- Thermal bioclimate indexes (as thermal comfort or heat stress indexes) are one of the main issues concerning tourism and health conditions especially for expected climate change. The Mediterranean area and countries such as Italy, Spain, France, Turkey and Greece, whose economies are markedly dependent on tourism, are vulnerable regions ...

Bioclimate-Vegetation Interrelations in Northwestern Mexico
The Southwestern Naturalist, 2010Abstract In Mexico, the area from the delta of the Colorado River to southern Colima (ca. 2,000 km) is a transition zone from the most arid deserts of North America to tropical rainforests. Data for temperature and precipitation from 254 meteorological stations, along with field data, were used to analyze relationships between climate and vegetation ...

RECONSTRUCTED HOLOCENE BIOCLIMATES∗
Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1977Paleopodzols and frost wedge polygons in and near the forest/ tundra ecotone indicate that Holocene fluctuation of the forest border has varied from 280 km (170 mi) north to a minimum of 50 km (30 mi) south of the modern forest border in southwest Keewatin.

The bioclimate in temperate and northern cities
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1991Climate is a basic component of the human environment. Developments in building design and indoor climate control have contributed greatly to improving human health and comfort. By contrast, the possibilities for improving urban climatic conditions by deliberate planning have been poorly exploited. The structure and processes of the urban atmosphere in

Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie B, 1962
A three-month survey of bedroom climate in the transition season from spring to summer in the Washington, D. C., area is presented. It showed nearly complete independence from outdoor conditions during the period when central heating was needed and windos were closed.

Bioclimate of three varieties of oat
Agricultural Meteorology, 1976Abstract The bioclimate in plots of three oat varieties grown under three different water regimes (unmodified, drier, and wetter plots) was studied. The bioclimate measurements were combined with soil water determinations and growth and production measurements.

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.

Thermal bioclimate in Strasbourg - the 2003 heat wave
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2009This case study highlights the implications of the 2003 heat wave for the city of Strasbourg, France. The urban centers of France and other European countries were particularly affected by the heat wave. In some urban areas, the mortality rate was 60% above the expected value (Institute de Veille Sanitaire, 2003).

Bioclimate and city planning – open space planning
Atmospheric Environment, 1999The planning and using of open spaces in urban areas very much depend on the shading of the surrounding building structures. This article presents a method for the investigation of the sunlight and the bioclimatic conditions in dependence on the surrounding buildings.
