Sunshine and the cardiovascular benefits – a dose of sunshine!

Satellite-Based Sunshine Duration for Europe

In this study, two different methods were applied to derive daily and monthly sunshine duration based on high-resolution satellite products provided by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring using data from Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager). ...

ارزیابی دو روش تجربی و مدل‌های شبکه عصبی مصنوعی برای برآورد تابش خورشید رسیده به زمین- مطالعه موردی در جنوب شرق تهران

Daily solar radiation intercepted at the earth’s surface is an input required for water resources, environmental and agricultural studies. However, the measurement of this parameter can only be done in a few places. This has led researchers to develop a number of methods for estimating solar radiation based on frequently available meteorological records such as hours of sunshine or air temperat...

تخمین تابش کل خورشیدی روزانه با استفاده از شبکه‌های عصبی مصنوعی و مقایسه آن با روش‌های تجربی در سه ایستگاه شیراز، کرج و رامسر

Global solar radiation (Rs( on a horizontal surface in the estimation of evapotranspiration of plants and hydrology studies is an important factor. Average daily global solar radiation on a horizontal surface was estimated by artificial neural networks (ANNs) and five empirical models including FAO (No.56), Hargreaves-Samani, Mahmood-Hubard, Bahel and Annandale. The weather data was selected fr...

Direct effect of sunshine on suicide.

IMPORTANCE It has been observed that suicidal behavior is influenced by sunshine and follows a seasonal pattern. However, seasons bring about changes in several other meteorological factors and a seasonal rhythm in social behavior may also contribute to fluctuations in suicide rates. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of sunshine on suicide incidence that are independent of seasonal variati...
