| Tartalmi kivonat: | The aim of this study is to measure and analyze the effects of exterior annual temperature change on the interior temperature of a dripstone cave. The measurement was carried out in Hajnóczy Cave located in the southern part of the Bükk Mountains, Hungary. Although the cave has only one entrance known, there are more evidences that prove the strong effect of exterior conditions on the interior processes like temperature fluctuation and dripstone development. Using a high resolution wireless digital thermometer sensor network, the air temperature was measured at 10 points every 10 minutes for a longer period. The goal of our study is to analyze the spatial profile of air temperature of the cave that is developed during the summer and winter air circulation period between 11 November, 2012, and 10 April, 2013. Based on these data, different zones of the cave could be separated; and during the winter and summer conditions, the climatic variability of the entrance, the transitional, and the deep cave zone were described. The long-term analysis of the cave proved that the summer and winter air circulation changes are caused by the prolonged continuance of a below 10 °C average daily temperature. |
