Allergic rhinitis as well as associated costs are constantly increasing, affecting a proportion always larger of the population across the world. Ragweed is a source of pollen well known for its high allergenic properties. Characterized by heavy emissions of the pollen in the air from August to October of each year, its allergenic potential is greatly enhanced. This study deals with the problems...

Weather radars are now available in many countries for operational observations and measurements of hailstorms and provide detailed information on the formation and structure of severe thunderstorms. Much research has been devoted to the quantitative measurement of hailfalls and the nowcasting of hail-bearing thunderstorms which is of interest for national weather services and airports (warning),...

This work describes two approaches for the extraction of quantitative information on the degree of surface heterogeneity at the subpixel scale of optical remote sensing data. The first approach is a look-up-table based inversion scheme, where the spectral reflectances of realistically modelled three-dimensional vegetation canopies are pre-computed for a variety of atmospheric optical depths, and...

The major aim of this study is to describe in a detailed manner the 20th century minimum and maximum temperature variations in Switzerland and to assess whether the magnitude of the secular warming and its interannual to interdecadal fluctuations show common seasonal patterns in different climatological regions. In a first step different climatological regions could successfully be...
