Frequencies of observations of fog, snow and thunder were generated before being transformed into a proportion using the count of weather readings per shift.
To give a sense for the how the normal range weather fluctuations affects norovirus incidence, the proportion of cases attributable to each weather variable, population immunity and the emergence of epidemic strains was estimated using the methods of Bruzzi.[22] Baseline levels were taken as the 95th percentile value of temperature, and relative humidity and population immunity.
39 This finding may be due to the fact that in our study, respiratory tract infections made up a large proportion of respiratory attendances, conditions that are more prevalent in cooler weather.
Field-observable and micromorphological properties, degree of weathering, and proportion of resistant minerals are also useful as criteria for paleosol orders.
All weather variables expressing the proportion of time with favorable conditions in a habitat (high relative humidity with moderate temperatures) had a positive relationship with fungal abundance and richness (Table 1).
From knowledge of the weather conditions, the proportion of heating provided to a home by heat pump is determined (see Eq. 9).
That notwithstanding, the proportion of households vulnerable to extreme weather events is perceived to be increasing in arid environments of eastern Africa, especially in Kenya, and there is an uncertain degree to which the population or the system is becoming susceptible and unable to cope with hazards and stresses, including the effects of climate change.
Dew formation can be critical for spore germination of many plant pathogens, and may be the best indicator of the proportion of time a habitat has weather favorable to fungi.
He speculated that it would take a weather event, or a series of weather events, of epic proportions to galvanize the public and policy makers to take action.
Remember that with fewer days on the slopes, you are more likely to lose a significant proportion of ski time because of the weather.
