background: industrialization and urbanization had a devastating impact on public health and caused an increase in health related morbidity and mortality. in fact, asthma is a chronic condition which is considered as one of the significant challenges of public health. in this study, we investigated the association of air pollution and weather conditions with excess emergency ward admissions of ...

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the validity of mesoscale numerical weather prediction modeling near the complex terrain at Aubrey Cliffs, Arizona, and to investigate the influence of the outer domain size employed on the computational results. Mesoscale Modeling v5 (MM5) was implemented to produce numerical wind data that was compared with experimental wind data. The results obtain...

North part of Japan is one of the heaviest snowfall regions in winter. In a certain case, wet snow accretes to civil engineering structure such as power lines. There is a demand for the prediction that when the snow accretion will occur. General weather forecast is not enough resolution and meteorological variable for estimating snow accretion. By calculating weather condition on our own accoun...

In what ways are weather and climate (and changes in weather and climate) psychologically significant to people? How is the importance that people attach to weather and climate manifested on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral levels? These questions are addressed in the present project which describes the further development and evaluation of a psychological measurement tool, the Weather Sali...

Weather plays an important role in spring-blooming fruit crops due to the combined effects on bee activity, flower opening, pollen germination, and fertilization. To determine the effects of weather on highbush blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum L., productivity, we monitored bee activity and compared fruit set, weight, and seed number in a field stocked with honey bees, Apis mellifera L., and com...

This paper presents the results of a study to quantify the performance of Weather Avoidance Fields in predicting the operational impact of convective weather on en route airspace. The Convective Weather Avoidance Model identifies regions of convective weather that pilots are likely to avoid based upon an examination of the planned and actual flight trajectories in regions of weather impact. Fro...

Received Nov 1, 2017 Revised Jan 7, 2018 Accepted Jan 25, 2018 Weather forecasting is a significant function in meteorology and has been one of the most systematically challenging troubles around the world.This scheme deals with the structure of a weather display method using small cost components so that any electronics hobbyist can construct it. As a replacement for using sensors to collect t...

In the field of weather modification, it is important to accurately identify ice crystal particles in clouds. When habits are correctly identified, cloud structure can be further understood and seeding other methods modification used change microstructure cloud. Consequently, phenomena changed at an appropriate time support human production quality life. However, morphology varied. Traditional ...

Understanding spatial patterns of influenza transmission is important for designing control measures. We investigate spatial patterns of laboratory-confirmed influenza A across Canada from October 1999 to August 2012. A statistical analysis (generalized linear model) of the seasonal epidemics in this time period establishes a clear spatio-temporal pattern, with influenza emerging earlier in wes...
