Gases released from landfill sites into the atmosphere have the potential to cause olfactory nuisances within the surrounding communities. Landfill sites are often located over complex topography for convenience mainly related to waste disposal and environmental masking. Dispersion of odours is strongly conditioned by local atmospheric dynamics. Assessment of odour impacts needs to take into ac...

Ganoderma sp. is an airborne fungal spore type known to trigger respiratory allergy symptoms in sensitive patients. Aiming to reduce the risk for allergic individuals, we analysed fungal spore circulation in Szczecin, Poland, and its dependence on meteorological conditions. Statistical models for the airborne spore concentrations of Ganoderma sp.-one of the most abundant fungal taxa in the area...

A three-step climate classification was applied to a spatial domain covering the Hi-malayan arc and adjacent plains regions using input data from four global meteorological reanalyses. Input variables were selected based on an understanding of the climatic drivers of regional water resource variability and crop yields. Principal compo-5 nents analysis (PCA) of those variables and k means cluste...

To assess whether meteorological conditions modify the relationship between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality, an examination of air pollution and human mortality associations (ecologic) using hybrid spatial synoptic classification procedures was conducted. Concentrations of air pollutants and human mortality from all non-accidental and cardiorespiratory causes were exa...

Mesoscale air quality under stagnant synoptic cold season conditions in the Lake Powell area is characterized through climatological, topographical and numerical studies. Using a synoptic climatological classification scheme, it is found that during the winter this region is dominated by stagnant conditions associated with slow-moving high pressure systems. Using topographic analyses, the Lake ...

The sustainable crop production is intimately linked with food security as the world population growth remains stable. The recent concern about food scarcity motivates the development of the present system entitled “Remote Sensing Environmental Monitor (RSEM)” leading to the enhancement of the capability for crop yield monitoring. The system includes a photosynthetic sterility crop yield model ...

With the increasing popularity of open-source platform Hadoop, the meteorological industry is available to create a Meteorological Cloud (MeteCloud) platform to store and deploy applications. In this paper, we propose an idea to build the MeteCloud platform for meteorological departments using Hadoop. We also present a backup policy for meteorological data. In addition, one kind of storage proc...

iri the subject in other places would do so also. Jessore, as the reputed birthplace of cholera, and a place almost proverbially of bad repute in a sanitary sense, would, I thought, afford an excellent opportunity of studying meteorological conditions with special reference to the causation of disease, and constitute, even more than Calcutta, a type of the climate of the delta of the Ganges. Ha...

Introduction: Global warming is one of the most important environmental problems that have raised researchers’ attention. The present study aimed to analyze heat stress trends using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index in the country of Iran during the summer over a 30-year period. Materials and Methods: Daily summertime statistical data regarding mean temperature and mean relative humi...
