Review of urban Climatology 1968-1973
This publication reviews developments in the field of urban climatology since the Symposium on Urban Climates and Building Climatology held at Brussels in 1968 under the joint sponsorship of the World Health Organization and WMO. During this relatively short period of time the importance of understanding the atmospheric environment of human settlements has become increasingly apparent and the amount of research has greatly expanded. The review is in two parts. The first part deals mainly with observational studies. This begins with a look at work aimed at elucidating the nature of the fundamen ...

This publication reviews developments in the field of urban climatology since the Symposium on Urban Climates and Building Climatology held at Brussels in 1968 under the joint sponsorship of the World Health Organization and WMO. During this relatively short period of time the importance of understanding the atmospheric environment of human settlements has become increasingly apparent and the amount of research has greatly expanded. The review is in two parts. The first part deals mainly with observational studies. This begins with a look at work aimed at elucidating the nature of the fundamental flows of energy and water in the city-atmosphere System, and ends with a summary of the continuing work of measuring the climatological effects of these flows. The second part is concerned with attempts to model the workings of urban climates using physico-mathematical techniques.

Climate under glass
In recent years greenhouse climatology has become a special branch of research in agricultural meteorology. The results of climatological investigations in greenhouses should indicate to the agriculturalist the meteorological conditions at his disposal for the cultivation of certain crops at any lime of the year, and the possibilities of using special techniques for controlling the growth of plants. The greenhouse gives him the opportunity of creating the proper conditions for the plants irrespective of the outside weather, and this provides the farmer/gardener with an all-the-year-round means ...

In recent years greenhouse climatology has become a special branch of research in agricultural meteorology. The results of climatological investigations in greenhouses should indicate to the agriculturalist the meteorological conditions at his disposal for the cultivation of certain crops at any lime of the year, and the possibilities of using special techniques for controlling the growth of plants. The greenhouse gives him the opportunity of creating the proper conditions for the plants irrespective of the outside weather, and this provides the farmer/gardener with an all-the-year-round means of production. The first part of this Technical Note discusses the heat and moisture balances of the air and soil in naturally heated greenhouses and the effects of the diurnal and seasonal changes on the microclimate. Illustrative comparisons are made between meteorological conditions inside and outside the greenhouse. The second part reviews in detail the methods and techniques used for the control of greenhouse climates, and the various types of installations that are available for this purpose. The regulation of lighting and temperature, the methods of shading and ventilation, and the effects of water-spraying are explained in detail. An extensive classified bibliography is included and the text is illustrated with diagrams and tables.

The Assessment of Human bioclimate : a limited review of physical parameters
Maintenance of stability in the human body in relation to the atmospheric environment by physiological or technological adjustments is essential for human survival in many parts of the Earth. The capability to adapt by acclimatization is limited. Various indices have been developed to assess the effects of heat and cold on human beings. Some are quite complex and include ail elements of the energy balance. They require measurements not generally ma de by meteorological services. But at the cold end the simple factors of wind chill (a combination of temperature and wind speed) or cooling power ...

Radiation processes in the atmosphere : Second IMO Lecture
This monograph on atmospheric radiation, by one of the world's foremost specialists, gives an up-to-date review of a subject of increasing importance to meteorology. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between dynamic and radiative processes, a topic of major relevance to the numerical modelling of atmospheric circulation, especially for the purpose of long-range weather forecasting. Various chapters deal with the solar constant, radiation characteristics of the underlying surface, radiation climatology of the Earth, atmospheric aerosols and their influence on radiation transfer, t ...

Étude des conditions climatiques de l'avance du Sahara tunisien = Investigations on the climatic conditions of the advancement of the Tunisian Sahara
Depuis quelque temps, on prend conscience du fait que l'intensification des activités agricoles dans la zone semi-aride de la Tunisie limitrophe du désert saharien a modifié les conditions naturelles, et l'on soupçonne certaines de ces modifications d'avoir un caractère permanent. Dans le présent rapport, le professeur Flohn rend compte de l'étude qu'il a faite en 1970 en vue d'analyser les facteurs significatifs du bilan hydrique de cette région.
It has been recognized for some tinte that increasing agricultural activities in the semi-arid boundary zone of the Sahara Déser ...
