It is critically important that pilots of small aircraft fully understand weather conditions in order to plan a safe flight. Many such pilots fly by visual reference to the ground and cannot enter clouds. Online weather data is available to assist pilots with planning flights in order to avoid poor conditions. However, this data is provided in an extremely terse and cryptic format. The reports ...

As air traffic grows significantly, aircraft accidents increase. Many aviation accidents could be prevented if the precise aircraft positions and weather conditions on the aircraft’s route were known. Existing studies propose determining the precise aircraft positions via a VHF channel with an air-to-air radio relay system that is based on mobile ad-hoc networks. However, due to the long propag...

This paper considers various predisposing and corrective factors for hypothermia and hyperthermia in marathon runners. It is concluded that a race should be cancelled or deferred if the forecast suggests that certain climatic thresholds are likely to be met or crossed.

BACKGROUND Bleeding and rupture of blood vessels has been correlated with weather conditions in the past. This is the first study in the world literature with the aim of investigating the relationship between atmospheric pressure and temperature with the presentation of aortic dissection. METHODS The dates of all emergency aortic dissection repairs from 1996-2002 in a regional cardiothoracic ...
