Int J Biometeorol. 2017 Sep;61(Suppl 1):81-88. doi: 10.1007/s00484-017-1399-9. Epub 2017 Jul 14.

Abstract

The first decade of the twenty-first century saw remarkable technological advancements for use in biometeorology. These emerging technologies have allowed for the collection of new data and have further emphasized the need for specific and/or changing systems for efficient data management, data processing, and advanced representations of new data through digital information management systems. This short communication provides an overview of new hardware and software technologies that support biometeorologists in representing and understanding the influence of atmospheric processes on living organisms.

Keywords: Biometeorological data processing; Biometeorology; Data acquisition; Hardware technology; Sensors; Software technology.
