Celem pracy jest wstępna charakterystyka warunków bioklimatycznych południowego obrzeża Bellsundu. W tym celu wykorzystano powszechnie dostępne charakterystyki bioklimatyczne: wielkość ochładzającą powietrza (H), wskaźnik ochładzania wiatrem (WCI) oraz temperaturę ochładzania wiatrem (WCT). Obliczono ich wartości średnie, maksymalne i minimalne oraz rozkład częstości.

This paper describes the bioclimate of Calypsobyen. The station was located on Calypsostranda, a flat sea terrace, at the height of about 23 m a.s.l., at a distance of 200 m from Bellsund Fjord and 2 km from the Scott Glacier. The substratum was made of dry lichen-moss tundra. For this analysis there have been chosen two meteorological elements: air temperature and wind. The material used in this paper was taken from summer seasons from the years 2007 and 2008. We used meteorological data from the 10th of June to 11th of September from each year – together 188 days. Three bio-meteorological indices were analyzed: Dry Cooling Power (H), Wind Chill Index (WCI) and Wind Chill Temperature (WCT). Results of these observations are presented in tables. Mean cooling power in summer seasons amounted 1285.3 Wźm-2. Frequency of occurance of cooling power was counted according to Petrovič and S. Kacvinsky classification. In the investigated period predominated “cold” and “cool” cases. There were about 64.3% such cases. From among analysed meteorological elements influent cooling power, the wind velocity has the most importance. Correlation coefficient between the wind velocity and cooling power amounts +0.96. Mean Wind Chill Index (WCI) in summer seasons amounted 823.2 Wźm-2. In the investigated period also predominated “cool” and “cold” cases. There were about 93.2% such cases. From among analysed meteorological elements influent Wind Chill Index, the wind velocity has also the most importance. Correlation coefficient between the wind velocity and Wind Chill Index amounts +0.88. Mean Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) in summer seasons amounted 3.3°C. In the investigated period predominated only “very small” and “small” cases. There were 100% such cases. From among analysed meteorological elements influent cooling power, the air temperature has also the most importance. Correlation coefficient between the temperature and Wind Chill Temperature amounts +0.73.

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki terenowych badań bioklimatyczno-fizjologicznych bilansu cieplnego człowieka oraz niektórych parametrów fizjologicznych organizmu w warunkach zimowych w strefie klimatu polar-nego północnej Finlandii. W trakcie badań obserwowano tempo ochładzania się temperatury twarzy oraz warunki zachowania równowagi cieplnej organizmu podczas długotrwałej ekspozycji terenowej.

The paper presents some results of field experiment dealing with physiological adaptation to cold in arctic climate. The bioclimatic-and-physiological measurements were carried out in February 2008 in Saariselka in northern Finland. The research are the part of COST 730 Action “Towards a universal thermal climate index UTCI for assessing the thermal environment of the human being”. We have observed face cooling during long cold exposure when standing and during walking. Whole body heat balance, adaptation processes and thermal sensations were also studied. The results show great effectiveness of cold adaptation processes. Both, physiological responses of an organism (e.g. shivering) and behavioural thermal regulation (activity, clothing) help to keep homeothermy. Some risk of local skin cooling that can lead to frostbite was observed at non covered face after 20 minute exposure in –12°C and wind speed of 12-20 m/s.
