Resumen
El clima es un factor que condiciona las prácticas turístico-recreativas en espacios al aire libre. El bienestar y confort térmico constituyen exigencias del visitante susceptibles de evaluarse mediante la faceta térmica del clima. Este trabajo se aplica a Puerto Iguazú, un destino de clima subtropical húmedo. El mismo está estructurado con base en dos objetivos, por un lado, comparar tres índices bioclimáticos: Complejo Termo-anemométrico (P), Complejo Termo-higrométrico (THI) y Humidex (H), versus un índice climático-turístico: Tourism Climate Index (TCI) a fin de establecer cuál ofrece un mejor ajuste a la realidad estudiada. Por otro, a fin de generar información con mayor grado de detalle, se busca conocer el comportamiento en resolución horaria del P y H. El cálculo de los índices a nivel mensual (P, THI, H y TCI) se realizó con base en las estadísticas climatológicas de la estación Iguazú Aero para el período 1981-2010, proporcionadas por el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. Los índices P y H en resolución horaria se calcularon a partir de datos meteorológicos de la misma estación para el período 2001-2010, obtenidos del sitio Meteomanz.com. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la componente termo-higrométrica es la de mayor peso en el destino analizado, lo cual es coherente con sus características climáticas. La aplicación de los índices permitió determinar los momentos del año y horas del día más benignas para la realización de prácticas turístico-recreativas al aire libre.
The climate is a factor that conditions tourist-recreational practices in outdoor spaces. Thermal well-being and comfort are visitor demands that can be evaluated through the thermal facet of the climate. This paper is applied to Puerto Iguazú, a destination with a humid subtropical climate. It is structured based on two objectives, on one hand, comparing three bioclimatic indices: Thermo-anemometric Complex (P), Thermo-hygrometric Complex (THI) and Humidex (H), versus a climatic-tourist index: Tourism Climate Index (TCI) to establish which one offers a better adjustment to the reality studied. On the other hand, in order to generate information with a greater degree of detail, we seek to know the behavior in hourly resolution of the P and H. The calculation of the indices at a monthly level (P, THI, H and TCI) was carried out based on the climate statistics of the Iguazú Aero station for the 1981-2010 period, provided by the National Meteorological Service. The P and H indices in hourly resolution were calculated from meteorological data from the same station for the 2001-2010 period, obtained from the website Meteomanz.com. The obtained results show that the thermo-hygrometric component is the one with the greatest weight in the analyzed destination, which is consistent with its climatic characteristics. The application of the indices made it possible to determine the most benign moments of the year and hours of the day for carrying out tourist-recreational activities in outdoor.
