نماذج الطقس الملائمة لدراسة التأكل الجوي للمنشآت و المباني على سواحل جنوب البحر الأحمر بالمملكة العربية السعودية

Abstract EN

This research aims to study the climatic environment of the Red Sea coast; the objective is to identify the ability of the climate in this region to corrode buildings and structures by means of the weathering process.

A base model of the prevailing climatic structure is used as a basis for the study, with the addition of several additional weather models of the study area based on observed sequence and natural alternations.

Examination of this range of models will thus enable the researcher to pinpoint the most damaging or threatening model in terms of atmospheric corrosion.

The study follows a geographical methodology, with various climates identified by means of air movement expressed by the dominant and prevailing winds over the chosen meteorological station, which observes the atmosphere and weather of the southern coasts of the Red Sea.

The station chosen is Jizan Station, one of the numerous stations sponsored by the Saudi General Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Protection (GAMEP).

The researcher used readings from this station of the observed rates of temperature and humidity for each weather model; such models were selected because of their ability to adequately express the thermal and humidity properties of the weather types they represent.

This enables the study to effectively identify the most hazardous type of weather in terms of the corrosion of the coastal area of the Red Sea.
