Abstract Measured meteorological time series are frequently used to obtain information about climate dynamics. We use analysis and nonlinear system identification methods in order assess outdoor-environment bioclimatic conditions starting from the of long historical data records. investigate model stochastic deterministic properties 117 years (1891–2007) monthly measurements air temperature, pr...

BACKGROUND The homeless constitute a subpopulation particularly exposed to atmospheric conditions, which, in the temperate climate zone, can result in both cold and heat stress leading to the increased mortality hazard. Environmental conditions have become a significant independent risk factor for mortality from specific causes, including circulatory or respiratory diseases. It is known that th...

A thermohygrometer is an instrument that able to measure relative humidity and air temperature, which are two of the fundamental parameters estimate human thermal comfort. To date, market offers small low-cost solutions for this instrument, providing opportunity bring electronics closer end-user contributing proliferation a variety applications open-source projects. One most critical aspects us...

Urban heat island (UHI) countermeasures are of growing interest for cities. Field studies of their micro-climatic effects are scarce, yet are essential to properly evaluate their effectiveness and that of anti-UHI policies. The standard approach to determining their micro-climatic effects is to study the difference in measurements made at case and control stations. However, measurements conduct...

Extreme heat is a current and future issue on urban areas, with negative impacts health quality of life (increasing morbidity mortality rates). This paper analyses day (12:00–15:00 h) nighttime (00:00–03:00 thermo-physiological comfort (TC) conditions by Local Climate Zones (LCZ) in Lisbon during particular Weather Type (LWT), very hot summer days. For this, 13 different microscale sample areas...

شاخص سطح برگ استخراج‌شده (LAI) از تصاویر سنجش دور پارامتر مهمی، به‌منظور مدل‌سازی مکانی تولید پوشش گیاهی، محسوب می‌شود. معمولاً شاخص‌های گیاهی که با بازتاب طول موج‌های قرمز و مادون نزدیک محاسبه می‌شوند، در برآورد LAI استفاده روش‌های آماری، به‌کار می‌روند اما بسیاری این شاخص‌ها مقادیر متفاوت به اشباع می‌رسند. برای رفع محدودیت، محدودة لبة شده است؛ بنابراین، باید قابلیت داده‌های دور، ذرت علوفه‌ای، ...
