Relationship between atmospheric pressure and mortality in the Madrid Autonomous Region: a time-series studyInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 45 - Trang 34-40 - 2001
S. González, J. Díaz, M. S. Pajares, J. C. Alberdi, A. Otero, C. López
This study set out to determine the possible influence of variations in atmospheric pressure on mortality in the Madrid Autonomous Region (MAR), taking into account the possible confounding effect of other atmospheric variables. The study was based on daily mortality data from the MAR Revenue and Excise Authority, meteorological data from Getafe Observatory and air pollution data from the Madrid M...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring relationships between phenological and weather data using smoothingInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 52 - Trang 463-470 - 2008
Adrian M. I. Roberts
Stepwise regression is often used to draw associations between phenological records and weather data. For example, the dates that a species first flowers each year might be regressed on monthly mean temperatures for a period preceding flowering. The months that ‘best’ explain the variation in first flowering dates would be selected by stepwise regression. However, daily records of weather are usua...... hiện toàn bộ
The relation between barometric pressure and the incidence of peripheral arterial embolismInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 14 - Trang 391-397 - 1970
J. B. Hansen
A statistical examination of the relationship between barometric pressure and the incidence of peripheral arterial embolism (PAE) in Fune, Denmark, shows, that the velocity of the changes in barometric pressure seems to be the only really important factor, i.e. the faster the changes in barometric pressure the greater the biological effect.

Influence of climate change on flowering season of birch in the Czech RepublicInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 64 - Trang 791-801 - 2020
Lenka Hájková, Věra Kožnarová, Martin Možný, Lenka Bartošová
This paper analyzes a long-term (1991–2019) flowering period of birch in the Czech Republic. Temporal and spatial evaluation in timing of beginning and end of flowering (Fbegin and Fend) and flowering period (Fperiod) of Betula pendula were investigated in different zones of the Czech Republic. The field observations were carried out at 44 sites of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute phenologi...... hiện toàn bộ
Efficacy of warming systems in mountain rescue: an experimental manikin studyInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 64 - Trang 2161-2169 - 2020

Mountain accident casualties are often exposed to cold and windy weather. This may induce post-traumatic hypothermia which increases mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of warming systems to compensate for the victim’s estimated heat loss in a simulated mountain rescue operation. We used thermal manikins and developed a thermodynamic model of a virtual patient. Manikins were...... hiện toàn bộ
Daily hospital respiratory admissions and winter air mass types, Birmingham, UKInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 43 - Trang 21-30 - 1999
G. R. McGregor, S. Walters, J. Wordley
A synoptic climatological approach is used to investigate linkages between air mass types (weather situations), the daily mean particulate matter with a size of 10 µm or less (PM10) concentrations and all respiratory hospital admissions for the Birmingham area, UK. Study results show distinct differential responses of respiratory admission rates to the six winter air mass types identified. Two of...... hiện toàn bộ
Body composition in air and road inductees at high altitude during the initial days of acclimatizationInternational Journal of Biometeorology - Tập 41 - Trang 120-124 - 1998
U. S. Ray, W. Selvamurthy
This study assesses body composition changes and their time course during the initial days of acclimatization to high altitude (HA). Comparisons were made between gradual and acute induction to HA using 60 male lowlander volunteers (24–28 years of age) divided into two equal groups for inducting them to HA. Thirty subjects were air-lifted from sea level (SL) to 3500 m HA in 1 h. These subjects we...... hiện toàn bộ
