The Space and Terrestrial Weather (Weather Complex) impact on ischemia cases in Saint Petersburg is investigated. The results show the main feature of the Weather Complex when it was related to the days of the different ischemia situations in the different ischemia people gender groups. The data treatment was done with some elements of the Folder Epochs Method, Cluster Analysis and the Mann–Whitney hypothesis test criterion.
Introduction. In recent years, the influence of climatic factors on population health has become particularly relevant. With significant fluctuations in meteorological conditions, there is an overstrain and failure of the adaptation. This leads to disorders of the functioning of the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship of the population’s medical care with climatic factors, based on the available databases of indicators of Earth and space weather and data on the frequency of the population’s medical care. Material and Methods. For the analysis, we used a database of the population’s access to medical care and variations of climatic factors from 19.12.2005 to 31.12.2009 in the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg. The total number of environmental parameters included in the study was 237, and the number of requests for medical care was 2.444. Results. In this paper, we tested a model for assessing the relationship between the population’s access to medical care and Earth and space weather factors. Gender and seasonal analysis were carried out. Time dependencies were studied. The obtained data allowed us to form a list of climate indicators that affect the health of the population. Conclusion. The most significant climatic indicators associated with coronary heart disease were identified. The most dangerous season of the year is autumn. Women have a higher sensitivity to changes in Earth and space weather than men. Accounting for variations in space weather allows predicting changes in medical treatment requests in 2-5 days, accounting for variations in the Earth’s weather - in 1 day.
<p>The main idea of our work is to find out the perspective points for the investigation of space factors which can impact physical and biological processes on Earth surface. Some decades ago the complex of those factors was named as &#8220;Space Weather&#8221;. So the main purpose of our work is to discover the connection between Space Weather and Terrestrial Weather as well as the impact of this environmental complex (Space Weather plus Terrestrial Weather) on biological objects and thereby on the human health.</p><p>The first part of the presented work contains the description of the Space Weather characteristics for the appearance moments of very long-live (more than 10 days) atmosphere pressure systems on different terrestrial latitude locations. These Long-live Pressure Systems (LPS) are interesting for us because some of them (namely anticyclones) can block pressure fields so they can create some dangerous situations for the human health as well as for the human activity. The different terrestrial latitude locations were: (1) Saint-Petersburg (59<sup>o</sup>57&#8216;N, 30<sup>o</sup>19&#8216;E) and (2) Tambov (52<sup>o</sup>43&#8216;N, 41<sup>o</sup>27&#8216;E). This latitude difference in observations is interesting for us because we know about the different affect of Space Weather variations on northern and southern places so we want to study this difference. &#160;The time-intervals were: (1) 1999-2014 years (Saint-Petersburg), (2) 2007-2014 years (Tambov). Space Weather&#160;parameters were: (1) global &#160;variations of Solar Activity (SA) parameters; (2) daily characteristics of the SA flare component in various bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; (3)&#160;variations of Interplanetary Space characteristics in Earth vicinity; (4) variations of daily statistics of Geomagnetic Field (GMF) characteristics. For the appearance moments of LPS we have discovered the interesting behaviour for follow Space Weather characteristics: variations of all global SA indices, variations of low energy (C-class) X-ray solar flares number, variations of proton fluxes, and variations of GMF parameters daily statistics. Also we have discovered the terrestrial-latitude difference in the atmosphere response on the Space Weather impact.</p><p>The second part of our work contains the results of investigation of environmental (Space Weather plus Terrestrial Weather) impact on human health. This study was done for Saint-Petersburg region (the northern place from the previous point of our investigation). The human health status was indicated by: (1) Cardiac Rhythm Variations (CRV) of patients in the clinic of Medicine Academy, Sudden Cardiac Deaths (SCD) in Research Institute of Emergency Medicine, facts of hard situation in 6 local clinics in different places of Saint-Petersburg and its suburb. We have found out that the dramatic cardiac events (CRV extrema, SCD maxima, hard days in clinics) are connected with variations of solar radio bursts number (the burst type is &#8220;noise storm&#8221;), the spread daily statistics (coefficient of variation) of GMF z-component and with spread daily statistics (coefficient of oscillation) of air temperature.</p><p>Results of our work may be used as the base for the hazard environmental monitoring.</p>
Background: A man is constantly exposed to numerous environmental factors, including meteorological conditions of the earth and space weather. The study of human health effects of these factors is of increasing interest both for science and practice. Objective: To compare instrumental and computational methods for assessing the Earth’s magnetic field in selected territories for further identification of priority natural and climatic factors and development of region-specific measures for adaptation of the local population to climate change, which should be taken into account when conducting social and hygienic monitoring. Methods: Instrumental measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field strength were carried out on the territories of the Moscow, Voronezh, Rostov, and Krasnodar regions of the Russian Federation, in August 2020. The total number of measurements was at least 15 at each point. The studies were conducted in accordance with the existing approved standard. Results and discussion: The territories for the study were selected taking into account changes in the latitude of the area, which has a priority importance in the formation of natural and climatic conditions of these regions. During the research, it was found that there was no significant difference in the values of the Earth’s magnetic field strength during the day and at night, which is associated with the main error of the device (MTM-01 three-component magnetometer). The obtained instrumental values of the magnetic field strength index ranged from 37.1 to 40.51 A/m. When analyzing the results obtained, there is a tendency to increase the intensity of the Earth’s magnetic field in the direction from South to North (Krasnodar Territory, Rostov, Voronezh, Moscow regions). The range of calculated values of the intensity indicator was from 39.9 to 42.19 A/m. The obtained instrumental data correlate with the calculated values of the Earth’s magnetic field. Conclusions: We conducted instrumental studies complying with existing models for estimating the Earth’s magnetic field strength, thus enabling application of our estimates in scientific research.
