Daily air pressure variation on Mt. Bjelašnica

(in Croatian)

Abstract

The Bjelašnica mountain observatory (H = 2067 m), located on the top of Mt. Bjelašnica is 23 km distant from Sarajevo observatory (H = 637 m). Hourly air pressure and air temperature data taken at these observatories over 12 years served to determine solar daily pressure and temperature variations and their harmonical components S_n for n = 1, 2, 3, 4.  

The paper discusses differences between daily variations and respective harmonical components as a result of different altitudes and orographic positions of Sarajevo and Mt. Bjelašnica. The daily air pressure variation at Mt. Bjelašnica and Sarajevo served as a basis to determine daily mean temperature in the air column between the foot and the top of the mountain.
