    Heat stress in Greece (1997)
    Springer
    International journal of biometeorology 41 (1997), S. 34-39 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1254
    Keywords: Key words Heat stress ; Predicted mean vote ; Greece ; Bioclimatic maps

    Topics: Geography , Physics
    Notes: Abstract  For 12 selected synoptic stations of the Greek Weather Service, the daily 12 UTC values of the thermal index Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) were calculated for the years 1980 to 1989. The locally varied occurrence of diverse thermal sensation and particularly of strong heat stress were analysed in relation to the human-biometeorological significance. With the help of a statistical model, PMV values of individual stations were transformed into a high-resolution bioclimatic map. The map presents the average annual number of days with at least strong heat stress (PMV〉3.0).

    Applications of a universal thermal index: physiological equivalent temperature (1999)
    Springer
    International journal of biometeorology 43 (1999), S. 76-84 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1254
    Keywords: Key words Physiological equivalent temperature ; Evaluation of the thermal component of different climates ; Human biometeorology ; Urban climate ; Forest climate ; Bioclimatic maps
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geography , Physics
    Notes: Abstract  The physiological equivalent temperature, PET, is a thermal index derived from the human energy balance. It is well suited to the evaluation of the thermal component of different climates. As well as having a detailed physiological basis, PET is preferable to other thermal indexes like the predicted mean vote because of its unit (°C), which makes results more comprehensible to urban or regional planners, for example, who are not so familiar with modern human-biometeorological terminology. PET results can be presented graphically or as bioclimatic maps. Graphs mostly display the temporal behaviour of PET, whereas spatial distribution is specified in bioclimatic maps. In this article, some applications of PET are discussed. They relate to the evaluation of the urban heat island in cities in both temperate climates and warm climates at high altitude. The thermal component of the microclimate in the trunk space of a deciduous forest is also evaluated by PET. As an example of the spatial distribution of PET, a bioclimatic map for Greece in July (Mediterranean climate) is presented.
