PollenMON

Allergic rhinitis has become a global health problem especially affecting children and adolescence. Timely and reliable warning before an increase of the atmospheric pollen concentration means a substantial support for physicians and allergy suffers. Recently developed numerical pollen forecast models have become a means to support the pollen forecast service, which however still require refinement.

This project aims therefore at improving the phenological modeling in numerical pollen forecast procedures by assimilating Earth-Observation based temperature and vegetation dynamics information in to the phenology model.
