Abstract Background An area of current study concerns analysis the possible adaptation population to heat, based on temporal evolution minimum mortality temperature (MMT). It is important know how threshold temperatures (Tthreshold) due these provide basis for activation public health prevention plans against high temperatures. The objective this was analyze produced in different Spanish regions during 1983–2018 period and compare with MMT. dependent variable used raw rate daily natural...
In Spain the average temperature has increased by 1.7 °C since pre-industrial times. There been an increase in heat waves both terms of frequency and intensity, with a clear impact population health. The effect on daily mortality presents important territorial differences. Gender also affects these impacts, as determinant that conditions social inequalities is evidence women may be more susceptible to extreme than men, although there are relatively few studies analyze differences...
The capacity for adaptation to climate change is limited, and the elderly rank high among most exposed population groups. To date, few studies have addressed issue of heat adaptation, little known about long-term effects exposure heat. One indicator that allows ascertainment a population’s level minimum mortality temperature (MMT), which links daily mortality. aim this study was ascertain, firstly, persons aged ≥ 65 years across period 1983 2018 through analysis MMT; secondly, trend in such...
Gridded chemical transport models are often used for the assessment of air quality.For European continental scale EMEP emissions inventory with a low 50x50 km 2 resolution is yearly available.However, current quality usually applied higher spatial resolution, in order to obtain representative results, especially regional domains; therefore, simple topdown approach based interpolation not appropriate.On other hand, bottom-up requires huge amount data estimate source-by-source, which always...
Climate change is currently regarded as the greatest global threat to human health, and its health-related consequences take different forms according age, sex, socioeconomic level, type of territory. The aim this study ascertain differences in vulnerability heat-adaptation process through minimum mortality temperature (MMT) among Spanish population aged ≥65 years by territorial classification. A retrospective, longitudinal, ecological time-series study, using provincial data on daily...
Different operational air quality forecasts (ESSEM Cost Action 0602) are currently available in Europe. However, most of them not suitable for regional application and, also, their coarse outputs do fit well with management needs. In this work, PRESAXIO modelling system is validated and applied over Galicia (NW Spain), including WRF CHIMERE models. validation done by comparison surface meteorological measurements; applies DELTA tool AirBase data. applications include an forecast, design a...
PrOlor is the first commercial software (Cartelle et. al 2014) that able to predict odour emission episodes two days beforehand, using prediction meteorological data instead of real time data. This way plant operator has a frame take actions control and prevent incidents, before they actually happen. based on CALPUFF WRF at very high resolutions. The system run in Linux cluster with supercomputing capabilities.In this experiment, was used an animal by-product rendering previous record...
Odor episodes control due to low threshold perception odorants, as H2S, is extremely difficult, they are detected in very concentrations. Even odorants emissions without any health effects can derive odor episodes, highly dependent on the changeable meteorology.PrOlor system an environmental forecast based WRF/CALMET/CALPUFF models. WRF model settings includes four one-way nested grids, with 1x1 km2 horizontal resolution for innermost grid, and initial boundary conditions from GFS forecast....
Episodes of high tropospheric ozone concentration in the southeast coast Iberian Peninsula during 2015 were identified together with associated synoptic conditions, and their most probable origins determined by means different atmospheric modelling simulations data analysis.Most episodes this study pressures temperatures, not only over but also whole southern region, which are favourable to photochemical production.The levels detected mainly due transport from Eastern coast.However, Atlantic...
