ANO CLIMÁTICO DE REFERÊNCIA PARA CURITIBA

COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE DADOS DE DUAS ESTAÇÕES

Abstract

Urbanization caused several changes in the natural landscape, affecting many aspects, one of them is the climate. The aim of this study was to analyze meteorological data from two stations (SIMEPAR and Afonso Pena International Airport) in order to update the climatic reference year (TRY) for Curitiba, as well as to verify changes in the climatic conditions for previously generated TRY. It was possible to verify that the location of the meteorological stations plays a fundamental role in the determination of climatic files faithful to the reality of the place studied. The difference between the average air temperature data of the TRY of the two stations studied reached 4.0 ºC. Analyzing the bioclimatic strategies for the climatic files generated by previous and current studies, it was observed an increase of the comfort period and decrease of the cold discomfort.
