  • A Multicriteria Climatic Classification System for Grape-Growing Regions
    Agricultural and Forest Meteorology 124 (2004) 81–97 A multicriteria climatic classification system for grape-growing regions worldwideଝ Jorge Tonietto a,∗, Alain Carbonneau b,1 a EMBRAPA—National Grape and Wine Research Center, PO Box 130-95700-000, Bento Gonçalves, Brazil b ENSAM—Formation de Viticulture-Oenologie, Montpellier, France Received 1 August 2002; received in revised form 24 June 2003; accepted 12 January 2004 Abstract This study concerns firstly the methodology to describe the climate of vineyards, on a macroclimate scale of viticultural regions worldwide. Three synthetic and complementary viticultural climatic indices (potential water balance of the soil over the growing cycle, heliothermal conditions over the growing cycle and night temperature during maturation), validated as descriptors, are used: (1) dryness index (DI) which corresponds to the potential water balance of the soil of Riou’s index, here adapted using precise conditions to calculate it, as an indicator of the level of presence-absence of dryness; (2) heliothermal index (HI) which corresponds to Huglin’s heliothermal index; (3) cool night index (CI) an index developed as an indicator of night temperature conditions during maturation. These indices are representative of the variability of the viticultural climate worldwide, related to the requirements of varieties, vintage quality (sugar, colour, aroma), and typeness of the wines. A Multicriteria Climatic Classification System (Géoviticulture MCC System) for the grape-growing regions worldwide is formulated based on classes for each of the three climate indices, with elements to explain the results. Three formulated concepts provide the system base: viticultural climate, climatic group and viticultural climate with intra-annual variability (for warm regions with more than one harvest a year in natural climate conditions).

  • Analysis of Y-Chromosome and Mtdna Variability in the Madeira Archipelago Population
    International Congress Series 1288 (2006) 94–96 www.ics-elsevier.com Analysis of Y-chromosome and mtDNA variability in the Madeira Archipelago population Ana T. Fernandes *, Rita Gonc¸alves, Alexandra Rosa, Anto´nio Brehm Human Genetics Laboratory, University of Madeira, Campus of Penteada, Funchal, Portugal Abstract. The Atlantic archipelago of Madeira is made up of two islands (Madeira and Porto Santo) with 250,000 inhabitants. These islands were discovered and settled by the Portuguese in the 15th century and played an important role in the complex Atlantic trade network in the following centuries. The genetic composition of the Madeira Islands’ population was investigated by analyzing Y-chromosomal bi-allelic and STR markers in three different regions of the main island plus Porto Santo. We compared the results with mtDNA data and used the Y-chromosome STRs to determine the variability within each haplogroup. A sample of 142 unrelated males divided into four groups (Funchal City, West Madeira, North and East Madeira and Porto Santo) were analyzed. Significant genetic differences between these regions and the population of Funchal were found. The population of Funchal had lower gene diversity than expected. D 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Madeira Island; Y-chromosome; mtDNA 1. Introduction The Madeira archipelago is made up of two inhabited islands, Madeira and Porto Santo, and has a population of about 250,000 inhabitants, with more than half living in Funchal. The Portuguese colonized the Madeira Archipelago in the 15th century and, in the beginning of the colonization, the archipelago was divided into three parts (Southwest and Northeast in the Madeira Island, and Porto Santo) and given to three administrators [1].

  • URBAN BIOCLIMATE and COMFORT ASSESSMENT in the AFRICAN CITY of PRAIA (CAPE VERDE)
    Finisterra, XLIX, 98, 2014, pp. 33-48 URBAN BIOCLIMATE AND COMFORT ASSESSMENT IN THE AFRICAN CITY OF PRAIA (CAPE VERDE) ANTÓNIO LOPES1 EZEQUIEL CORREIA2 JUDITE M. DO NASCIMENTO3 PAULO CANÁRIO4 Abstract – The population of Praia (Ilha de Santiago/Cape Verde) has recently increased from 90,000 inhabitants in 2000 to 132,300 in 2012. Located in the southern part of the Santiago Island, the city has an average temperature of 22ºC and high values of humidity. The hot and rainy season occurs between July and October. According to the Cape Verde “National Climate Change Adaptation” report, the temperatures increased about 1ºC in the last 15 years and s cenarios indicate an annual warming between 0.7ºC and 2.5ºC until 2060. This will lead to the deterioration of bioclimatic comfort conditions, especially in urban areas. The main goals of this research are: i) to make a first-hand assessment of bioclimatic conditions and human comfort in the city of Praia; ii) to evaluate the main microclimatic and urban factors that increase thermal stress in a “planned” neighbourhood (Palmarejo). It was shown that “moderate and strong heat stress” (PET>29ºC) occurs between August and October. The rest of the year hardly any heat stress occurs (18ºC<PET<29ºC). In the Palmarejo neighbourhood, heat stress in hot days (PET>40ºC) happens especially in poorly ventilated streets, well exposed to the sun. Keywords: Urban bioclimatology, thermal patterns, heat stress, PET, Praia, Cape Verde. Resumo – AVALIAÇÃO DO BIOCLIMA URBANO E DO CONFORTO TÉRMICO DA PRAIA (CABO VERDE). A população da cidade da Praia aumentou de 90 000 habitantes, em 2000, para 132 300 em 2012.
