Sažetak
The research of cave microclimate in general contributes to a better understanding of physical and chemical processes in complex karst geoecosystems. Special challenges for researchers are ice caves. The ice contains various fossil, geomorphological and chemical records of the past that can be used for research of former processes or creating climate profiles for paleoenvironmental research. Also, the “pressing need” is to study ice caves due to the significant ice loss that has been documented for the ice caves worldwide. This preliminary report is a part of the long-term project dedicated to the research of deep caves on Velebit Mt. and pointed to the influence of the large karst depression microclimate to cave microclimate, e.g. ice and snow accumulation. The one year study using T/RH data loggers was conducted in Lomska duliba valley (Velebit Mt.) known for frequent temperature inversion and low air temperature, and in partially ice-snow filled Ledena jama (Ice shaft) located at valley’s bottom. The main research was focused on the entrance part of Ledena jama, where the dynamics (accumulation and melting) of perennial ice and snow is significant.
