TY - JOUR AU - Johansson, Michael A. AU - Glass, Gregory E. PY - 2008 DA - 2008/10/08 TI - High-resolution spatiotemporal weather models for climate studies JO - International Journal of Health Geographics SP - 52 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Climate may exert a strong influence on health, in particular on vector-borne infectious diseases whose vectors are intrinsically dependent on their environment. Although critical, linking climate variability to health outcomes is a difficult task. For some diseases in some areas, spatially and temporally explicit surveillance data are available, but comparable climate data usually are not. We utilize spatial models and limited weather observations in Puerto Rico to predict weather throughout the island on a scale compatible with the local dengue surveillance system.
