In the late period, on the other hand, previous-year climate parameters prevail with previous July and summer (maximum) temperature as the most frequent climate determinants (pTmax07/pTand07 and pTmax_sm) at Schlossberg and Eldena, respectively.
Other climate determinants are more dynamic: the thermohaline circulation of the ocean leads to a 5 °C (9 °F) warming of the northern Atlantic Ocean compared to other ocean basins.
It is found that the location and the climate are determinant parameters on the global performance of the parabolic trough solar collectors.
In the present study, we used species distribution modeling to examine range determinants, climate change sensitivity, potential global warming impacts, and conservation implications for G. pyrenaicus.
The highest incidences of osteoporotic fractures worldwide are also found in Scandinavia (48)—an observation that cannot readily be explained by known lifestyle or genetic determinants, climate, or longevity.
Changes in transmission of diseases by vectors (such as mosquitoes) may arise from new vector reservoirs in different habitats, the changing climate and environmental determinants of which deserve further investigation.
In addition to these macro-level societal determinants, climate and weather also act as individual-level social determinants of health, in that disadvantaged or poorer people are likely to be less able to manage and mitigate possible effects of weather on their health.
Initial national assessments and communications made clear that a major constraint to conducting a vulnerability and adaptation assessment is the lack of high-quality long-term data sets, particularly in most low-income countries and many economies in transition, to understand current relationships between weather and climate and health determinants and outcomes.
Considerably more information is needed on the pathways by which weather can affect health, on the subgroups most vulnerable to climate-sensitive health determinants and outcomes, and on the implications of climate change for public health policy and practice.
Additional research also is needed to better project how population growth, socioeconomic development, and other factors would likely influence future rates of climate-sensitive health determinants and outcomes.
Adaptation includes the strategies, policies, and measures (hereafter referred to as adaptation options) undertaken now and in the future to reduce the burden of climate-sensitive health determinants and outcomes.
