“…Remote sensing is giving the rate of rain modelling by using GIS. Recently some studies have shown that one of the climatic factors is rain [9][10][11][12][13]. The use of climatic data, including rain, helped model suitable areas in cities.…”

Kielce University of Technology was a member of the research project COST Action IC0802 -Propagation Tools and Data for Integrated Telecommunication, Navigation, and Earth Observation Systems. Work on this project concentrated mostly on free space propagation, meteorology, and developing a coordinated set of models in order to improve the realization and design of Global Integrated Networks (including GMES and the Disaster Management and Relief System) [1][2][3][4]. This system is complicated, because it includes many types of instruments of labor (mobile and fi xed communication systems, satellite, and terrestrial communication systems, satellite navigation systems, etc.).To estimate a rain rate (mm/h) that exceeded the average year (R 0.01 ) in Poland (one-minute integration time) by 0.01% (meaning 53 minutes per year), we can use the data from the ITU-R recommendations (the last ITU-R updating characteristics of precipitation for propagation Pol.

Vol. 27, No. 1 (2018), 383-390 AbstractKielce University of Technology was a member of the international research project COST Action IC0802 -Propagation Tools and Data for Integrated Telecommunication, Navigation, and Earth Observation Systems, whose main goal was to analyze the impact of weather conditions on the quality of wireless satellite transmissions. Measurements in the region of Kielce city seem to be a good indication for rain rate exceeding the average year in Poland by 0.01%, especially due to a central location, environment, and morphology of terrain. Near the city since 1974 at Psary-Kąty was a large satellite ground station, operated by TP SA, with up to seven large parabolic antennae. The aim of this study was to present the rain rate (mm/h) exceeding the average year (R 0.01 ) in Poland by 0.01%. The part of results connected with measurements and data acquisitions and their processing for rain rate exceeding the average year by 0.01% is presented in this article. This R 0.01 parameter for Kielce was experimentally verifi ed. Moreover, the R 0.01 parameters for the most important regions in Poland are also included in the article. On the basis of this we can predict, e.g., the availability of satellite systems within the whole territory in Poland to minimize the risk of lack or interruption of communications due to adverse weather conditions.

“…Previous research reports that a beech tree that has a leaf surface of 1,600 m 2 can meet the oxygen needs of 10 people [4]. According to Tarran et al, [12] the existence of plants reduces the concentration of CO 2 by 10% in offi ces with an air-conditioner and by 25% in those with natural ventilation.…”

Nearly 90% of people's lives are lived indoors, and their health is affected by the concentrations of CO 2 in these spaces. Carbon dioxide concentrations can rapidly change based on human activity in indoor living spaces. Indoor plants and the concentration of CO 2 in the local environment are factors that infl uence most people. Plants, depending on the ambient light and temperature conditions, and which are necessary to perform photosynthesis or respiration, directly affect the concentration of CO 2 in the local environment. Furthermore, indoor plants infl uence the level of CO 2 in the local environment but have not been researched enough in recent years concerning their specifi c effects. This study attempts to determine the effects of indoor plants on the concentration of CO 2 in an indoor environment under certain light conditions. Five indoor plants were placed in a glass-walled compartment in order to measure the amount of CO 2 . The glass compartment used in the study was positioned in a way to prevent direct sunlight yet provide an illuminated environment. The plants were placed into this airtight compartment with a glass wall, which had a volume of approximately 0.5 m 3 (0.7 m x 0.7 m x 1 m). The measurements of CO 2 within the compartment were carried out via Extech Desktop Indoor Air Quality CO 2 Datalogger, and the CO 2 measuring device placed in the compartment was set to measure CO 2 once every fi ve minutes. The study found that all plants reduced the concentration of CO 2 to a certain extent during the day.

“…Indoor plants also are affected by solar radiation. This leads to climate change on the environment as well as forested, coastal, and urban areas [13][14][15]. A recent study shows that carbon emissions affect thermal comfort and lead to the climate change problem [16].…”
