BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many studies have evaluated the association between weather and stroke, with variable conclusions. Herein we determined the relationships between daily meteorological parameters and acute stroke incidence in South Korea. METHODS Patients with acute stroke (2,894) were identified by standard sampling of a nationwide insurance claims database from January to December 2011...

This paper presents the design of building economic and flexible artificial neural network (ANN) model for the prediction of PM10 concentration 24-hour-ahead. In stead of relying purely on historical information of the pollutant, the developed model would incorporate the effects from local meteorological conditions and other related pollutants explicitly. The ANN used was a three-layer feed-for...

Cloud parameterizations require basic knowledge of the relationships between measured and modeled meteorological state parameters and the cloud properties in a given volume of air. The uncertainty in the relationships, which is especially large for cirrus clouds, is exacerbated by the differences between actual soundings and those produced by various models. Routine surface cloud observations v...

The urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Moscow and the influence of various meteorological parameters are discussed using weather station data. maximal average in-space UHI intensities, i.e., a comparison air temperature T either city centre or whole area together with rural zone have averaged 1.9 0.9 °C, respectively, recent years. has stabilized over past decade is not growing. Under conditi...

The goal is to characterize the meteorological parameters at Rivne weather station and evaluate their changes for period from 2005 2020. research methodology built in following directions: regression of observation data on time; presence connections between adjacent members series; construction integral cumulative curves parameters; graphs surfaces are constructed, which make it possible visual...
