Abstract

The urban type of climate can be considered an artificial transzonal one, due to the changes brought about by urbanization and industrialization during the last period of time, which is noticeable as well for Târgovişte City and its surroundings. The main meteorological parameters determined and analyzed to configure the microclimatic aspects were: the air temperature at the soil; the air temperature at a 1 m height; the air temperature at a 2 m height; the relative humidity; the wind speed. Following the determinations made, in the southern and south-western areas of the city, influenced by the existence of the industrial platform, we have noticed higher temperatures than in the eastern one, a fact confirmed by the topoclimatic profiles of all the seasons of the year. The periurban area (Dealu Monastery) has a slightly differentiated topoclimate, due to its location at an altitude over 400 m. This observation is valid as well for the eastern area of the city, influenced by the valley of the Ialomiţa River. An essential role in the variability of the values of the climatic elements is held by the built subjacent surface, and this is why in the urban residential neighborhoods, the temperature is sensibly higher, with a low humidity (Micro XI-XII and Micro V), compared to the areas benefiting of extended green zones (Metropolitan Church, Chindia Park and Priseaca).
