Περίληψη:
Mountain Ainos is the highest mountain of the Ionian Islands with a
maximum elevation of 1628 m. Its National Park is characterized by rich
flora including endemic species such as Greek fir. In order to exploit
fully its touristic potential, it is necessary to examine the mountain
climate. However in situ measurements of climatic parameters in mountain
areas pose difficulties as far as to access areas of interest. The
current study addresses one specific object: Estimating the air
temperature at different altitudes of the southeastern side of Mt.
Ainos, having air temperature data at the exact same altitudes of the
northwestern side which is more easily accessible. We performed linear
regression analysis to estimate the mean, maximum and minimum daily air
temperature of the southeastern sites from data measured at the
northwestern one. The results are considered satisfactory in air
temperature estimation at all examined altitudes. More accurate
estimations were provided in the case of the mean air temperature at the
altitude of 1580 m. Also, linear models indicated noticeable estimations
of the minimum temperatures at 1300 and 1580 m.
