Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the associations between pollen characteristics and extreme values of meteorological variables, furthermore to make an association between the rank of pollen characteristics and the rank of annual values of meteorological variables for Szeged in Southern Hungary. Pollen season (start, end and duration), as well as pollen quantity (total annual pollen amount, i.e. TPA and annual peak pollen concentration) characteristics, furthermore data sets of temperature and precipitation are considered for a 14-year period (1997- 2010). The data set also contains daily values of Ambrosia (ragweed) and Populus (poplar) pollen concentrations, as well as temperature and precipitation. Correlation analysis between the original variables and between their ranks was performed. We received that both taxa were sensitive either to temperature or precipitation. On the whole, due to a warming and diying climate, pollen quantity characteristics indicate a decrease for Ambrosia, while for Populus an increase is expected.
