BACKGROUND Climate and weather affect human health directly and indirectly. There is a renewed interest in various aspects of environmental health as our understanding of ongoing climate change improves. In particular, today, the health effects in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not well understood. Many computer models predict some of the biggest changes in places where people are...

in recent years, mangrove forests with the high economical and environmental value are threatened with extinction by human activities. ex-situ conservation is an appropriate method to conservation this forest. this study was conducted with the purpose of studying the role of climatology factors as one of the most important environmental parameters in dispersion of mangrove forests of hormozgan ...

Recently there has been increased interest within the U.S. Navy in the use of climatology-based products to support the planning and execution of military operations. Climatological databases of atmospheric features that impact electromagnetic (EM) propagation have been developed to provide guidance on weapons and sensor system performance for expected environmental conditions. However, the mar...

The winners of the poster prizes are below Kelsey Mulder presenting her poster We present a climatology for tornadoes in the British Isles, defined here as England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. The climatology includes the geographic distribution, annual and diurnal cycles, seasonality, intensities, and occurrence of outbreaks in ...

We demonstrate the use of the open source library GeoTemCo for the visualization and exploration of geospatialtemporal datasets from environmental sciences. With use cases from biodiversity, climatology and geophysics we investigate the capabilities and limitations of GeoTemCo, which types of research questions can be handled and how the observer is able to gain new insights about the given data.

The planing of sustainable development and of economic activities in the marine environment requires long term information about the prevailing environmental conditions. For the design of marine and coastal protection structures detailed knowledge on local wave conditions is an essential prerequisite. To estimate the risk which emerges from local wave conditions knowledge on both, the wave clim...

In the marine environment the planing of the sustainable development of economic activities requires long term information about the prevailing environmental conditions. Detailed knowledge on local wave conditions is an essential prerequisite for designing marine and coastal protection structures. To estimate the risk which emerges from local wave conditions knowledge on both, the wave climatol...

This study used the publication Storm Data to compile a climatology of flash floods reported in the Binghamton, NY (BGM) County Warning Area (CWA) of the National Weather Service (NWS). This work revealed diurnal and seasonal trends in flash flood frequency across the CWA. Also evident was a spatial disparity in the number of flash flood reports in different portions of the CWA. In some cases, ...
