Environmental Investigations in the Bamiyan Site (I) : Meteorological Condition and Thermal Environment in Caves
Tomoko UNO, Yoko TANIGUCHI, Hidemi OTAKE and Shigeo AOKI
Outdoor environment influences the microclimate of caves and the condition of mural paintings. However, sufficient meteorological observation has not been made in the Bamiyan area. In order to monitor basic weather elements (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and its direction, solar radiation, amount of rain fall and depth of snow) of the Bamiyan site, an automatic weather station was installed on the rooftop of the Bamiyan Centre for Cultural Heritage Conservation. Furthermore, the microclimates in the caves are being monitored. Air temperature and relative humidity in Caves I, K3, M and N (a), and moisture content in the walls of Caves I and N (a) are being measured. Obtained data indicate that the conditions in Caves I and N (a) received a strong impact from outdoor conditions since these caves had openings to outside. The diurnal range of the outdoor temperature was 15ºC, and that in Cave I was 10ºC whilst that in Cave N (a) was 6ºC. This difference between the data of Caves I and N (a) could be due to the size of the openings to outside. Cave M was closed by a wooden door and brick wall. The data showed that its interior condition was quite stable. The temperature was around 15ºC without any daily fluctuations. This condition might be favourable for the state of conservation of the mural paintings.
