What Types of Meteorological Data are Most Relevant?
Several key types of meteorological data are particularly relevant in epidemiological studies:
Temperature: Affects the lifecycle of pathogens and vectors. Humidity: Influences the survival and spread of airborne pathogens. Precipitation: Impacts the breeding grounds for vector-borne diseases. Wind Speed: Affects the dispersion of airborne pathogens. Air Pressure: Can influence respiratory health and the spread of certain pathogens.
