abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to present the methodology of topoclimatic classification based on specific patterns of energy exchange at the interface earth-atmosphere, and in turn, its suitability for topoclimatological mapping. Using the typologies of energy exchange for both: day-time and night-time, the final classification of topoclimates has been elaborated. Sixteen types of topoclimates have been distinguished, according to the relative values of main components of heat balance. Some "basic" topoclimatological maps have been drawn up, thus enabling the elaboration of various "applied" maps.
