In this study, several regression models were employed to estimate global solar radiation from commonly available meteorological data such as sunshine duration, temperature, precipitation, and cloud cover for 34 meteorological stations of Bangladesh. The models studied were calibrated using five meteorological stations that are providing global solar radiation as well as other meteorological da...

On the limited urban area, precise measurement of meteorological data is not easy for the cost problem. The facilities collecting the data require high installment costs. The mobile sources can be a solution in city region. For example, a public bus on which some meteorological sensors are installed can act as moving information gathering station. The information is gathered on a server and agg...

Computer models used to predict building heating and cooling energy and occupant thermal comfort at present rely on climate data collected at a remote meteorological station. No account is taken of the changes in meteorological conditions caused by the urban developments, yet it is known the differences can be important. This paper reports on a project aimed at the development of a computer sim...

We describe how we are publishing RDF data about one of the meteorological stations that Irstea owns in its experimental farm at Montoldre. Our objective is to revisit previous work done by other researchers on the publication of meteorological Linked Data, and provide some recommendations and best practices based on our experience.

background: the malaria early warning system is defined as the use of prognostic variables for predicting the occurrence of malaria epidemics several months in advance. the principal objective of this study was to provide a malaria prediction model by using meteorological variables and historical malaria morbidity data for malaria-en­demic areas in south eastern iran. methods: a total of 2002 l...

We investigated the link between ambulance transports and meteorological parameters of summer by using daily data in Osaka area, Japan. Daily observations for ambulance transports (from July 1 to September 30, 2009) were obtained from Fire Department Service in Osaka. Data of meteorological parameters in Osaka area, Japan (from July 1 to September 30, 2009) were also obtained from Japan Meteoro...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine a possible association of amount of sunshine and risk for acute closed angle glaucoma. DESIGN This was a retrospective analysis of hospital discharge registry data, linked to meteorological data for the same period. SETTING The study was a national survey using hospital discharge data for the whole of Finland over a 10 year period. PARTICIPANTS All s...

This paper reports on a rough set approach to classifying meteorological volumetric radar data used to detect storm events responsible for summer severe weather. The classification of storm cells is a difficult problem due to the complex evolution of storm cells, the high dimensionality of the weather data, and the imprecision and incompleteness of the data. A rough set approach is used to clas...
