β¦ Synopsis
Daytime and nighttime mean temperature and humidity values are used to calculate a monthly Comfort Index for 41 stations in Greece. These indices are related to heat and cold stress using a psychrometric chart and combined to provide values of Annual Stress, Proportional Cumulative Stress, and Annual Physioclimatic Regime following the methods proposed by Terjung (1966,1967). In addition alternative methods of showing the temporal and spatial distribution of the parameters are considered and illustrated.

Measurements of air temperature and wind speed and direction during the months of February, March and April 1988, at Aegion, Greece (3F14.2.5' N , 22"7.5' E ) are analysed to detect topographic influences on the climate of this region. The analysis shows that this climate is controlled by nighttime
The annual march of the mean monthly number of thunderstorm days at a station shows certain characteristics, depending on the prevailing climate. For example, the main maxima in continental and marine climates occur in summer and in autumn to winter, respectively. A gradation of such an annual march
Between the years 1970 and 1980 topoclimatological research was performed in the Central Jordan Valley. The aims of this project were to study the climate of one of the hardest climatic regions in Israel, which was to be developed as a new settlement area. The climatological data should be a useful
