  1. TourismComfort Indexes: from observations to RCMs Ghislain Dubois Roma, 9 July 2013 http://www.climrun.eu

  2. - - TCI, a common concern of tourism case studies- On going activities -Reporting and dissemination activities

  3. TCI, a commonconcern for WP5 • The onlyspecifictourismclimateproduct • Referencedefinition by Mieczkowski (1985) TCI = 2 x [(4 x CID) + CIA + (2 x P) + (2 x S) + W] Where CID: index of thermal comfort during the day (° C). CIA: daily thermal comfort index (° C). P: Total monthly rainfall (mm). S: sunshine (h / day). W: wind speed (km / h). • Manyotherdefinitions and formula ! (beach TCI, urban HCI…) • Highlighted by WP5 workshops and interviews as a common, topic of interest, dedicated workshop in Marseille, September 2012

  4. Ongoingactivities Tunisia : survey (new formula) + calculation (station data) Figure 1 : Monthly frequency comfortable and very comfortable days for Saharan and beach tourism (For the beach, the colors represent the origin of tourists by groups of emitters)

  5. Ongoingactivities The Med: using ENSEMBLES database to assess future uncertainty KNMI Model C4I Figure 2 : TCI anomaly, 2070 versus 1980

  6. Ongoingactivities Savoie : downscaling TCI • Part of D3.5 « Downscaling non typicalclimateparameters » • Interest for a betterpresentation of geographicaldifferences (altitude, ?) • Computation of TCI using SAFRAN. Severalmethods • Monthly data (referenceyear ?) • Daily data averaged per month (referenceyear ?) • Monthly data, average of 1980-2009 period • Downscalingusing station data

  7. Ongoingactivities TCI, comparing computation methods (SAFRAN)

  8. Reporting and dissemination • Will be part of D5.3 (WP5 report) • A commonpaper in preparation
