✦ Synopsis

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 weak cold katabatic winds from the south-south-west sector, which is bounded b y mountains, and stronger waymer daytime winds from the east-north-west sector, which is bounded by the Gulf of Corinth. The presence of weak katabatic winds is also supported by nighttime measurements of the air temperature along the Corinth-Patras road, which show significant temperature depressions at the openings of the several ravines that are found in this region.
