To predict NO2 at each participant's residence we used LUR models based on NO2 annual means and data on traffic intensity, bus routes and stops, distance to traffic, land cover, building density, and other geographic information system (GIS -derived variables.
Referring to the bivariate statistical analysis, the applied approach of using air temperature data of only those months that showed strong correlation between air temperature and phase onset instead of using annual mean air temperature data enabled powerful regression models.
It uses the daily streamflow data to construct the annual streamflow network, instead of using the annual (mean or accumulated) streamflow data.
Air temperature and insolation are the only statistically significant predictors of asthma in the continental U.S., where the air temperature appears to be the best predictor based on total annual data (annual mean air temperature: p<0.01; annual mean insolation: p = 0.17) and the insolation when only winter data is applied (winter mean insolation: p<0.05; winter mean air temperature: p = 0.31).
We use the monthly and the annual mean hourly, pressure corrected, data from neutron monitors of the global network (monthly rate is calculated as the average of the hourly pressure corrected values).
The climate of the site is dry with a mean annual temperature of 9.9 °C and a mean annual precipitation of 427 mm (mean data from 1971 to 2000) with a high probability of water deficit during the early and late growing season (Fig. 2b).
The air pollution data comprise annual mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2, measured in μgm−3) in 2006, for which two sources of data are available.
This 90% value is obtained considering that for most ionospheric stations, the correlation coefficient between annual or 12-month running mean data of the critical frequency of the F2 layer, foF2 (or the E layer, foE) for example, and Rz (or F10.7) is around 0.95.
Here we give evidence showing that these deposition models can be adapted to run from annual mean meteorological and PM10 concentration data, thus providing a methodology to examine future scenarios.
1932 , 1949and 1970 jerks were reported by Alexandrescu et al. (1996) by using 97 European observatories, and Kerridge and Barraclough (1985) by using data of annual mean values from worldwide observatories.
Central latitudes and longitudes of cities/statistical areas, as presented by the USGS, are used to obtain the data on annual mean insolation and air temperature at specific geographical coordinates and regional elevation.
