This book discusses the impacts that weather and climate have on
human physical health, longevity, and mental wellness, and acts as
a guide to the application of meteorological science in health
care. It provides a background on biometeorology by covering basic
concepts of human anatomy and meteorology, and how modern
biometeorological science can be incorporated into medical practice
through diagnosis, prevention and treatment of physical and mental
diseases. The recommendations, advice and preventive measures
addressed in this book aim to help people adapt to different
weather phenomena and changes to minimize negative health
consequences, which is increasingly relevant as climate change and
its effects on human health become more pronounced and studied. The
book is intended for environmental epidemiologists, medical
students, physicians, health care providers, climate scientists,
insurance industries and policy makers, but will also appeal to
general enthusiasts of atmospheric, climate and medical sciences.
This book is dedicated to the atmosphere of our planet, and
discusses historical and contemporary achievements in
meteorological science and technology for the betterment of
society. The book explores many significant atmospheric phenomena
and physical processes from the local to global scale, as well as
from the perspective of short and long-term time scales, and links
these processes to various applications in other scientific
disciplines with linkages to meteorology. In addition to addressing
general topics such as climate system dynamics and climate change,
the book also discusses atmospheric boundary layer, atmospheric
waves, atmospheric chemistry, optics/photometeors, electricity,
atmospheric modeling and numeric weather prediction. Through its
interdisciplinary approach, the book will be of interest to
researchers, students and academics in meteorology and atmospheric
science, environmental physics, climate change dynamics, air
pollution and human health impacts of atmospheric aerosols.
