It has been well established that both meteorological attributes and air pollution concentrations affect human health outcomes. We examined all cause nonaccident mortality relationships for 28 years (1981-2008) in relation to air pollution and synoptic weather type (encompassing air mass) data in 12 Canadian cities. This study first determines the likelihood of summertime extreme air pollution ...

The short-lived tropical squall lines could trigger weather-related hazards to the northern part of Indonesia Maritime Continent (IMC), such as Sumatra and Kalimantan. Herein, we investigated rare propagation event long-lived line associated with a severe storm surge that induced coastal inundation in Java-Bali devastating impacts from 22 May–2 June 2020. With comprehensive approach combining o...

Citation: Ramos AM, Barriopedro D and Dutra E (2015) Circulation weather types as a tool in atmospheric, climate, and environmental research. Classifications of circulation weather systems have a long history in meteorology and climatology. Starting with manual classifications (Hess and Brezowsky, 1952; Lamb, 1972) over specific regions of the globe, these tools (generally called " catalogs of ...

In the last lecture, we saw an example of reputation analysis in repeated interaction (a sequential entry game) with one long-lived player and many short-lived players, where the short-lived players are unsure of the long-lived player’s type. In this lecture, we generalize that analysis by giving an overview of the key results on reputation in repeated games with one long-lived player and many ...

In this data set, vehicle observations have been linked to data containing weather and road surface conditions. A total of 311 908 observations are collected and classified in categories of precipitation type, road status information, and daylight condition. The data is collected for a long period of time, so that several different weather situations are present, ranging from dry summer to adve...

Weather events have the ability to cause disruption to the road networks, both by making roads impassable, and by leading to a deterioration in safe driving conditions. Heavy snows in the winters of 2009 and 2010, as well as extreme flooding in 2011 and 2015, have demonstrated the ability of weather events to impact transport services and mobility. Within an Irish context there is very little r...

Decision making during convective weather events in the terminal area is shared among pilots and air traffic management, where uninformed decisions can result in wide-spread cascading delays with high-level impacts. Future traffic management systems capable of predicting terminal impacts will mitigate these unnecessary delays; however in order to realize this vision, it is important to understa...

Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are increasingly used for agro-environmental assessments and estimates of climate change impacts on food production. Recently, the influence of climate data and weather variability on GGCM outcomes has come under detailed scrutiny, unlike the influence of soil data. Here we compare yield variability caused by the soil type selected for GGCM simulations to weat...

A genetic and molecular analysis of a long-lived strain of Podospora anserina, Mn19, was undertaken to detect mutations in genes responsible for senescence. In crosses between Mn19 and wild type about 15% of the progeny were long-lived, regardless of the female parent. Molecular analysis of the long-lived progeny showed that none of the strains inherited a mtDNA rearrangement characteristic of ...
