A study on correlations between precipitation ETCCDI and airborne pollen/fungal spore parameters in the NE Iberian Peninsula
(2022-03-11)
Article
Open AccessPrecipitation is one of the meteorological variables usually involved in the aerobiological studies, which presents a complex relationship with atmospheric levels of pollen and fungal spores and the temporal characteristics ... -
Airborne pollen parameters and their relationship with meteorological variables in NE Iberian Peninsula
(2018-05-23)
Article
Open AccessThe present study explores the role of the meteorological variability in the pollen production and the timing of the airborne pollen season by analysis of the correlation between precipitation, insolation and temperature ... -
Application of a source-receptor model to determine source areas of pollen in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(EUETIB, 2013-12)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this study we characterize the long-range transport of allergenic pollen to the North East of Spain. To this end, cluster analysis of back-trajectories and a source-receptor model was applied to a dataset of 10 years ... -
Comparative study between the effects of autumn and winter rainfall on aerobiological variables in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula
(Springer, 2023-01-02)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe correlation analysis between precipitation indices and aerobiological variables could lead to different results if seasonal rainfall is considered. The number of significant correlations, as well as the ratio of ... -
Environmental heterogeneity in human health studies. A compositional methodology for Land Use and Land cover data
(Elsevier, 2021)
Article
Open AccessThe use of Land use and Land cover (LULC) data is gradually becoming more widely spread in studies relating the environment to human health. However, little research has acknowledged the compositional nature of these data. ... -
Influence of atmospheric teleconnection patterns on airborne pollen levels in the NE Iberian Peninsula
(2015-11-10)
Article
Open AccessUsing 22 pollen taxa collected at 6 localities in Catalonia (NE Spain) during the period 1994-2011, we show that climate variability associated with Northern Hemisphere teleconnection patterns (North Atlantic Oscillation, ... -
Influence of synoptic meteorology on airborne allergenic pollen and spores in an urban environment in Northeastern Iberian Peninsula
(Elsevier, 2023-10-20)
Article
Open AccessThe influence of the most frequent patterns of synoptic circulation on the dynamics of airborne pollen/spores recorded at the Barcelona Aerobiological Station (BCN) was analysed. Six pollen types (Platanus, Cupressaceae, ... -
Influence of the WeMO and NAO decadal trends on the airborne pollen levels recorded in Catalonia (NW Mediterranean basin)
(EUETIB, 2013-12)
Conference report
Open AccessAirborne pollen records constitute a powerful tool for different purposes. First, in studies of dispersion and source identification of pollen grains, which, incorporated into the atmosphere by anemophilous plants, produce ... -
Modelling of pollen dispersion in the atmosphere: evaluation with a continuous 1β+1δ lidar
(EDP Sciences, 2018-04-13)
Article
Open AccessPollen allergenicity plays an important role on human health and wellness. It is thus of large public interest to increase our knowledge of pollen grain behavior in the atmosphere (source, emission, processes involved ... -
Relationship between climate variability indices and airborne pollination in Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula)
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessHere we explore the effect of climatic variability on the airborne pollen series recorded in Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula) considered of high interest due to abundance, landscape importance and/or allergenic significance. ...
