| Abstract [eng] |
The elements determining the meteorological conditions are the main parameters in processes of airborne pollen modeling. In modern research the influence of different meteorological element or their complex is analyzed basing upon the statistic methods or using dispersion models in which the possible influence of meteorological parameters upon airborne pollen is described in equations. The correlation of meteorological indicators and pollen concentration in the atmosphere fixed in Klaipėda Aerobiological Station is analyzed in this article. The coefficients of correlation of meteorological parameters and pollen concentration are calculated basing upon the Spearman's rank correlation method. The analysis of various factors was used for determining the complex influence of meteorological parameters upon the pollen concentration in the air. After evaluation of influence of meteorological parameters as separate factors one has determined that more than a half of analyzed pollen types showed statistically reliable (p<0.05) correlation of pollen amount in the air and relative air humidity (89%), air temperature (74%) and amount of precipitation (52%). The investigation results showed that 37% of pollen amount of indicated plants genera and families in the atmosphere was determined by wind velocity. After evaluation of complex influence of meteorological factors on the concentration of pollen spread in the air one has determined that relative humidity and/or air temperature are one of the most significant environmental factors determining the amount of pollen in the atmosphere during the vegetation. Their influence was determined for all the three cases under study. |
