Visual appearance of landmark photos changes significantly in different weather conditions. In this work, we obtain weather information from a weather forecast website based on a landmark photo’s geotag and taken time information. With weather information, we adaptively adjust weightings for combining distances obtained based on different features and thus propose a weather-adaptive distance me...

Weather is one of the major causes of general aviation accidents. Researchers are addressing this problem from various perspectives including improving meteorological forecasting techniques, collecting additional weather data automatically via on-board sensors and "flight" modems, and improving weather data dissemination and presentation. We approach the problem from the improved presentation p...

The daily weather series simulated with observed weather data and weather data generated with conventional WGEN model taking dry and wet day as stochastic parameter and DWS model were statistically compared and analyzed. These three weather data were respectively used to drive maize growth simulation model. The corresponding yield results were compared. The results showed there was no significa...

in this research the daily data of 69 climatic variables (wind direction, wind speed, dry temperature, wet temperature, maximum and minimum temperature, average daily temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, station level pressure, cloudiness, horizontal visibility, vapor pressure, …) of abumoosa synoptic station during the years 1362-1388 were studied. initially, a data base of variabl...

Thermal building simulation currently uses Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data to guide the design decision-making process or for compliance with energy standards. TMY data usually excludes extremes and in many cases are gathered from microclimatic contexts that are not sufficiently representative of the project sites (e.g., airports), adding uncertainty in the analyses. To enable a quantifi...

The United States Government assumes no liability for its contents or use thereof. Providing an accurate picture of the weather conditions in the pilot's area ofinterest is a highly useful application for ground-ta-air datalinks. The problem with using data links to t...

BACKGROUND People with osteoarthritis (OA) frequently report that their joint pain is influenced by weather conditions. This study aimed to examine whether there are differences in perceived joint pain between older people with OA who reported to be weather-sensitive versus those who did not in six European countries with different climates and to identify characteristics of older persons with ...

The study of the management of weather-related disaster risks by municipalities has attracted little attention even though these organizations play a key role in protecting the population from extreme meteorological conditions. This article contributes to filling this gap with new evidence on the level and determinants of Quebec municipalities' preparedness for weather hazards and response to r...

While people need to know tomorrow’s weather to decide suitable activities and precautions, so do the “intelligent” building management systems. The accuracy of the short-term prediction of the ambient conditions is particularly import for the development of predictive control strategies. Although the shortterm prediction methods for outside air temperature have been extensively studied, reliab...

Pollution levels and the effect of air pollution on human health can be modified by synoptic weather type and aeroallergens. We investigated the effect modification of aeroallergens on the association between CO, O3, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 and asthma hospitalisation rates in seven synoptic weather types using single air pollutant models, adjusted for the effect of aeroallergens and stratified...
