The present study aims to evaluate the bioclimatic potential of
the submontane region between Sucevița and Slănic Moldova based on
the THI thermo-hygrometric index, for which we used monthly data
covering the period 1961-2013. From the analysis of this index, we aimed
to identify the annual and multiannual regime of bioclimatic features for
the targeted study area. The purpose of this study is to highlight the
favorable periods of the year, when the comfortable and favorable time
for outdoor activities prevails. The information obtained reinforces that
there are resorts in the submontane contact area along the alignment
between Sucevița and Slănic Moldova has a sedative-indifferent
bioclimate, sparing with long periods of the year (from May to September)
favorable for outdoor tourism activities: hiking, cycling, mountain biking,
Nordic walking.
