, ‘ (Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Jae-young = During the peak summer midday, the temperature inside greenhouses was found to be about 3°C higher on average than in fields. ‘,
,
, ‘ The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) released the results of a special heat observation conducted at the Agricultural Life Research Complex in Wanju County, North Jeolla Province, last month on the 19th.’,
,
, ‘ According to the KMA, the average afternoon (from noon to 6 PM) temperature in greenhouses was 2.9°C higher than in chili fields. The daily maximum temperature and the daily maximum perceived temperature exceeded by 3.9°C and 3.3°C, respectively.’,
,
, ‘ Compared to chili fields, the orchard where pear trees are grown had a lower afternoon average temperature, daily maximum temperature, and daily maximum perceived temperature by 0.1°C, 0.4°C, and 0.4°C, respectively. ‘,
,
, ‘ The key factor in reducing the temperature was shade. ‘,
,
, ‘ In fact, a pavilion next to the chili field had an afternoon average temperature 0.8°C, a maximum temperature 0.9°C, and a perceived temperature 0.1°C lower than the field. ‘,
,
, ‘ The height above the ground was also a variable affecting the temperature. ‘,
,
, ‘ The daily maximum temperature at 50 cm above the ground, a height where people often bend or sit to work, was on average 1.8°C higher than at 150 cm above the ground. ‘,
,
, ‘ The KMA reported that in the case of beaches, the daily average temperature was 0.2 to 0.3°C higher than the surroundings due to ample solar radiation. However, when the sea breeze blew, the temperature dropped sharply; for example, at Jangsa Beach in Yeongdeok County, North Gyeongsang Province, the seawind (northeast wind) increased humidity by 15 percentage points but lowered the temperature by 4.0°C.’,
,
, ‘ The cooling effects of places like Milyang Ice Valley in Milyang City, South Gyeongsang Province, were also confirmed.’,
,
, ‘ Compared to a nearby observation point about 9 km away, Milyang Ice Valley had a daily average temperature 4.0°C (at the entrance) or 6.9°C (at the mountain top) lower, a daily maximum temperature 6.2°C and 8.8°C lower, and a daily maximum perceived temperature 4.6°C and 7.0°C lower, respectively.’,
