Fundamentals of Climatology for Engineers: Lecture Note

“…During northern summer, oceanic subtropical highs develop rapidly and expand northward; relatively low pressure develops over warm continents, most notably South Asia, where the monsoon low is well developed. During northern winter, a seasonal reversal of pressure between continents and oceans is observed; storminess increases over the North Atlantic and North Pacific as a result of pronounced low-pressure areas in northern latitudes and weak high-pressure areas in the subtropics (see Figure 10) (see the details in [26][27][28][29][30]).…”

“…Due to the fact that water has a greater heat capacity than land, the ocean serves as the primary heat storage or memory component of the climate system. Annual mean SST varies between 29 • C in portions of the tropics to −1.8 • C near the ice edge (see the details in [26][27][28][29][30]).…”

“…Temperature falls extremely slowly in the deep ocean. At mid-latitudes, a seasonal thermocline forms (see Figure 11) (see the details in [26][27][28][29][30]).…”

“…At its lower limit, the atmosphere absorbs energy via conduction against a warmer sea surface, whereas surface wind generates wind-driven circulations in the upper ocean. The ocean responds to surface heat fluxes and evaporation and precipitation, which alter the ocean's temperature and salinity, resulting in density variations that drive the ocean's deep thermohaline circulations (see Figure 12) (see the details in [26][27][28][29][30]).…”

Göller Yöresi İllerinin Biyoiklimsel Konfor Yapısının Belirlenmesi ve Termal Algılama Haritalarının Oluşturulması

“…1960'lı yıllardan bu yana meteorolojik koşulların insanlar üzerinde nasıl etkiler yaptığı konusunda çalışmalar yapılmaktadır ve konforu belirlemede kullanılan en önemli kriterin hissedilen sıcaklık olduğu ve konfor üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğu kabul görmektedir. Konforu etkileyen diğer kriterler ise kişinin aktivite durumu ile giyim tarzını da içeren boy, kilo, yaş, cinsiyet gibi kişisel parametrelerdir (Hobbs, 1995;Höppe 1997) (Sayan, 2001, Şensoy vd., 2020, Kırcalı ve Selim, 2021.…”
