Welcome on www.hayfeverradar.eu. This website is all about weatherconditions, hayfever, forecasting, mapmaking and airborn pollen. You can find information about weather, pollencounting, trees, grasses and herbs.
Modelling
Posts about several aspects of developing forecast models
Research
One of the most quoted papers about pollen and climatechange is written by William Anderegg, School of Biological Sciences, University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Anthropogenic climate change is worsening North American pollen seasons.
Research
Thunderstorm asthma is a very interesting topic. What happens to pollen and pollen particles during such a storm? How do you measure this? Some questions about this research done by Betsy Stone and her team from Iowa University
Characterization of atmospheric pollen fragments during springtime thunderstorms
Pollencounting
Counting each type and concentration of airborn pollen is a very important part of forecasting. Posts about counting pollen.

Weather
The weather has a major influence on the amount of airborn pollen. But “the weather” is a complex combination of various aspects. Here some posts about these aspects.
Meteograms
Meteograms can be a very interesting interface for explaining pollenlevels, here you can find some examples >>
Research
Recently a paper was published about the correlation between airborne pollen and infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This research was done by Thanos Damialis, airobiologist and researcher at Department of Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Augsburg.
