BackgroundExposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. We aimed evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden non-optimal ambient temperatures.MethodsIn this modelling study, we collected time-series data on from 750 locations in 43 countries five meta-predictors at a grid size of 0·5° × across globe. A three-stage analysis strategy was used. First, temperature–mortality association fitted for each location by use regression. Second, multivariate...
Abstract. The COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action ES0601: advances homogenization methods of climate series: an integrated approach (HOME) has executed a blind intercomparison validation study for monthly algorithms. Time series temperature precipitation were evaluated because their importance studies they represent two important types statistics (additive multiplicative). algorithms validated against realistic benchmark dataset. contains real inhomogeneous data as...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the short term associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and total, cardiovascular, respiratory mortality across multiple countries/regions worldwide, using a uniform analytical protocol. Design Two stage, time series approach, with overdispersed generalised linear models multilevel meta-analysis. Setting 398 cities in 22 low to high income countries/regions. Main outcome measures Daily deaths from total (62.8 million), cardiovascular (19.7 (5.5 million)...
There is an extensive literature describing temperature-mortality associations in developed regions, but research from developing countries, and Africa particular, limited.We conducted a time-series analysis using daily temperature data national dataset of all 8.8 million recorded deaths South between 1997 2013. Mortality were linked at the district municipality level relationships estimated with distributed lag non-linear model 21 days lag, pooled multivariate meta-analysis.We found...
Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive limited to single cities, regions, or countries. Generalisation of results from previous studies hindered by potential publication bias different modelling approaches. We therefore assessed the exposure CO daily in a multicity, multicountry setting.We collected data air pollution, meteorology, total 337 cities 18 countries covering various periods 1979 2016. All included had...
Abstract Aims We aimed to investigate the heterogeneity of seasonal suicide patterns among multiple geographically, demographically and socioeconomically diverse populations. Methods Weekly time-series data counts for 354 communities in 12 countries during 1986–2016 were analysed. Two-stage analysis was performed. In first stage, a generalised linear model, including cyclic splines, used estimate each community. second community-specific combined country using meta-regression. addition,...
Abstract We analyse the expected characteristics of drought events in northern Italy for baseline (1971–2000), near (2021–2050), and far (2071–2100) future conditions, estimating spatial extent duration, percentage affected area, frequency episodes. To this end, daily ensembles precipitation temperature records from Global Climate Models (GCMs) Regional (RCMs) pairs, extracted EURO-CORDEX MED-CORDEX RCP 4.5 8.5 scenarios, are collected at resolution 0.11 degrees. Before analysis, model...
Although seasonal variations in mortality have been recognized for millennia, the role of temperature remains unclear. We aimed to assess variation and examine contribution temperature.
ABSTRACT Long historical climate records usually contain non‐climatic changes that can influence the observed behaviour of meteorological variables. The availability parallel measurements offers an ideal occasion to study these discontinuities as they record same climate. transition from manual automatic has been analysed in this study. dataset obtained two independent networks Piedmont region, Northwest Italy. From dataset, 17 pairs stations with up years overlapping have identified. On...
According to historical papers, the Genoa Metropolitan Area (GMA) has been affected by floods since Middle Ages. An increase in flash recorded over last few years, and 2014 at least four were observed, three of which occurred during autumn. Following these observations, secular pluviometric variations for region have analysed. Pluviometric data University station (since 1833) Chiavari 1877), represent central eastern zones GMA along coast, Weather Isoverde 1921) Giacopiane Dam 1925) allowed...
Abstract The aim of this research is to identify and characterize, in terms length, intensity, spatial propagation, the main drought events which took place Po Valley (Italy) from 1965 2017. Two indices were applied, Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) (SPI). Daily precipitation temperature series belonging National System for Collection, Processing, Dissemination Climatic Data Environmental Interest (SCIA) database collected. Subsequent an accurate quality control,...
The summer of 2018 brought a significant meteorological drought to Ireland, with the 25 th June marking first official day after cold winter/spring.Meteorological data recorded at Met Éireann's (the Irish Meteorological Service) network stations were used calculate Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI), Percent Normal (PNI) and Soil Moisture Deficit (SMD).In addition, MODIS remote sensing from NASA's TERRA satellite was compute Enhanced Vegetation (EVI).The progress in has been shown by...
