Abstract
Abstract
Anemophilous pollen is one of the main causes of allergy by sensitive subjects. Due to the early and prolonged pollen season due to climate change, there is a potentially increasing risk for the European population (Lake et al., 2017). In this work, pollen and meteorological data have been associated in order to identify the favourable conditions for increasing pollen concentration. We use of the classification software from the COST733 action to classify each day of the studied period (2016-2018) among nine weather regimes. The use of a Performance Index (PI) made it possible to relate the pollen concentration to the synoptic classes and thus to associate a higher pollen concentration to a high-pressure condition. In addition, by combining wind roses and a detailed land cover thematic map, we identify the location of main potential pollen sources. The results encourage further analysis of pollen dispersal in response to climate change.
