Estimation of Ozone Trend in Central Greece, Based on Meteorologically Adjusted Time Series
(2012)
Data referring to an approximately 8-year period (1999-2007) are analyzed in order to estimate the trend of the daily maximum hourly value of ozone concentration at the east coast of central Greece, where the summer ...
Maximum urban heat island intensity in a medium-sized coastal Mediterranean city
(2012)
This paper studies the maximum intensity of the urban heat island (UHI) that develops in Volos urban area, a medium-sized coastal city in central Greece. The maximum temperature difference between the city center and a ...
Temperature, comfort and pollution levels during heat waves and the role of sea breeze
(2010)
During the summer of 2007 several Greek regions suffered periods of extreme heat, with midday temperatures of over 40A degrees C on several consecutive days. High temperatures were also recorded on the east coast of central ...
IMPACT OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND DEVELOPMENT ON BUILDINGS' ENERGY CONSUMPTION
(2013)
The urban heat island (UHI) is one of the major problems that urban areas are experiencing worldwide, as it is related to various environmental and health effects. One of them is its direct impact on buildings energy demand. ...
Development of models to assess potential sheep heat-stress during heat waves
(2013)
It is well documented that heat-stress burdens sheep welfare and productivity. It is expected that peak heat-stress levels are observed when high temperatures prevail, i.e. during heat waves. However, continuous measurements ...
Improvement of greenhouse microclimate distribution by means of air mixing fans
(2012)
The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of air mixing fans on air temperature and humidity distribution in an arched roof greenhouse. The greenhouse was occupied by a tomato crop and ...
Microclimate of a pepper crop under screenhouse conditions
(2012)
In the present study, the influence of three different shading nets with different colour, shading intensity and porosity on the screenhouse and crop microclimate was experimentally investigated. The experiments were carried ...
Differences in required structural efficiency of standard commercial steel greenhouses among EU countries: A hellenic experience
(2012)
Since the climate and seismic conditions vary significantly among European countries (and sometimes even in different areas of the same country) the European Standard for the design and construction of greenhouses for ...
Effect of Irrigation Scheduling on Gerbera Flower Yield and Quality
(2010)
Better understanding of the effects of irrigation frequency and dose on flower production of gerbera plants (Gerbera jamesonii) can lead to optimal water management and crop yield. Measurements of greenhouse microclimate ...
