Analysis of long-term bio-climatological measurements at the Dead Sea basin, Neve Zohar

An in-depth analysis of long-term bio-climatological measurements, initiated during 1994, in the Dead Sea basin at Neve Zohar has been performed. The parameters monitored during this time interval include the global UVB and UVa irradiation on a horizontal surface. ambient temperature and barometric pressure. The monitoring of the relative humidity was initiated in August 2004. The statistical analysis was performed on all the individual monthly databases and included the following parameters: average, median, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, maximum and minimum monthly values. The three solar irradiation and ambient temperature monthly were analyzed to determine if any trends, increasing/decreasing exist for these parameters during the time interval of this study
