Short communication: emerging technologies for biometeorology

Abstract

The first decade of the twenty-first century saw remarkable technological advancements for use in biometeorology. These emerging technologies have allowed for the collection of new data and have further emphasized the need for specific and/or changing systems for efficient data management, data processing, and advanced representations of new data through digital information management systems. This short communication provides an overview of new hardware and software technologies that support biometeorologists in representing and understanding the influence of atmospheric processes on living organisms.

Technological opportunities for sensing of the health effects of weather and climate change: a state-of-the-art-review

“…Due to the rapid growth and advancement of sensing technologies, a comprehensive review of the opportunities for sensing the health effects of weather and climate change is necessary. Thus, the goal of this paper is to present the state of scientific development of existing and emerging sensing technologies used in biometeorological studies, building upon a recent short communication by Mehdipoor et al (2017). To this end, we provide an overview of existing and emerging technologies that are used or have the potential for use in understanding the health effects of weather and climate change on humans, animals, and plants.…”

A news update from the students and new professionals group

“…These workshops would not have been possible without the support provided by ISB and the Tromp Foundation, in addition to the hosting institutions, as such we extend our gratitude to those that have supported these workshops. All of the aforementioned workshops have resulted in formal outputs in the form of peer-reviewed publications specifically those by Gosling et al ( 2014 ), Hondula et al ( 2014 ), Dixon et al ( 2016 ), Allen et al ( 2017 ), Mehdipoor et al ( 2017 ), Perkins et al ( 2017 ) and Anderson et al ( 2021 ). It is clearly evident from these achievements that the SNP continues to go from strength to strength.…”
