Padrões da temperatura do ar e da umidade relativa: estudo de caso no campus de Cuiabá da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The land use in urban areas is largely responsible for variation in climate elements, especially in the microclimatic scale. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the air temperature and relative humidity standards in 15 sites in the Cuiabá campus of the Federal University of Mato Grosso, in two periods (April and September of 2010) at 8h, 14h and 20h. From the analysis it was found that land use was central to the values of air temperature and relative humidity, and the sites with asphalt pavement presented the highest temperatures and lowest humidity levels. The most expressive examplea of this occurred at the site 7 in April, and at site 15 in September. In short, it became clear the distinct standard of the thermo-hygrometric field in the collection sites, and also in the times and periods of collection, characterizing a space-time variation.
