This paper focuses on the forecast of hourly wind speed using an intelligent model. The hourly wind speed of the meteorological stations are forecasted and compared. The selected two sites of Taiwan meteorological stations are Lan-Yu and Tung-Chi-Tao, whose wind speeds are the highest among 25 areas during the period of 1971-2000. An intelligent time series model is developed and used to foreca...

This paper presents the results of attempt to perform modeling of SO2 concentration in urban area in vicinity of copper smelter in Bor (Serbia), using ANFIS methodological approach. The aim of obtained model was to develop a prediction tool that will be used to calculate potential SO2 concentration, above prescribed limitation, based on input parameters. As predictors, both technogenic and mete...

The Swine Fever is a kind of acute, highly infective epidemic disease of animals; it is name as Classical Swine Fever (CSF) by World animal Health organization. Meteorological factors such as temperature, air pressure and rainfall affect the epidemic of CSF significantly through intermediary agent and CSF viral directly. However there is significant difference among different region for mode of...

Predicting short-term wind speed is essential in order to model a system of prevention of environmental contamination produced by the effects of strong winds acting on goods (mainly crushed coal) discharged at a dock. The wind speed in a near future depends on the values of other meteorological variables in previous times. The values are obtained from a meteorological station with several senso...

BACKGROUND Asthma exacerbation is an episode of (sub)acute worsening of asthmatic symptoms. Exacerbation may depend on environmental factors. OBJECTIVE The present study investigated emergency calls for asthma exacerbation in children, analysing: i) their trend over the course of time; and ii) their possible relationship with environmental factors, including pollen count, meteorological param...

The relationship between local meteorological conditions and the surface ozone variability was studied by means of statistical modeling, using ozone and meteorological parameters measured at Lovozero (250 m a.s.l., 68.5N, 35.0E, Kola Peninsula) for the period of 1999–2000. The regression model of daily mean ozone concentrations on such meteorological parameters as temperature, relative humidity...

background; brucellosis (malta fever) is a major contagious zoonotic disease, with economic and public health importance. methods; to assess the effect of meteorological (temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind) and climate parameters on incidence of brucellosis, brucellosis distribution and meteorological zoning maps of zanjan province were prepared using inverse distance weighting (idw) and...

Air sampling was conducted in Szczecin (Poland) throughout April-September 2013. The final data set included 177 daily and 4248 hourly samples. The total of 21 types of spores, which occurred in a number >10 in the season, were taken into account. The following meteorological parameters were analyzed: air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and wind speed. Effects of individual weathe...
