    Notes: Abstract Weather data were examined for association with hospital records indicating the time at which pregnant women at term first experienced labor contractions (onsets). There is a considerable advantage, compared with mortality and morbidity, to using this response to infer weather influences. Three tests were used. First, the time series of daily onsets was analyzed to determine if characteristics known to exist in time series of weather data — variability and persistence — were evident in daily onsets. Second, the frequency distributions of nine weather variables were stratified, mostly by terciles, and onset means calculated for each of these divisions. Response means much different from average were then used to specify the nature of weather at such times. Third, the weather data were organized as weather types — pre- and post-cold frontal and general cold frontal — and onsets at these times were compared with those at non-frontal times. The time series characteristics were not found, but the other analysis revealed subsets of days on which onsets were above average, and in some cases the results were statistically significant. One such subset consists of winter days with low pressure, temperature markedly lower than the day before, and high wind speeds. On such days onsets were 34% above average. They were also above average during the 48 hours before and after cold front passage, and especially so in the 12 hours prior to the front. These findings constitute a weak, but statistically significant indication that human parturition is influenced by weather. Follow-up studies are urged.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die täglichen Todesfälle in 10 Grosstädten der Vereinigten Staaten wurden mit Wetterelementen der Monate Januar, April, Juli und Oktober der Jahre 1962–1965 korreliert. Es konnte eine Beziehung zwischen Episoden von feuchtwarmemWetter und Luftverschmutzung und Mortalität nachgewiesen werden. Ausserdem ergab sich, dass grosse interdiurnale Schwankungen der Temperatur, des Taupunktes und Luftdruckes von Schwankungen der täglichen Mortalität begleitet sind. In den nordzentralen und nordöstlichen USA fielen Zunahme der Mortalität zusammen mit Vorfronten- und Abnahme mit Nachfronten-Wetter. Die Gesamtmortalität war die Todesursache, die am besten mit den Wetterelementen korrelierte, gefolgt von der Mortalität von Personen über und unter 70 Jahren. Ein wesentlicher Unterschied der Wetteranfälligkeit bei arteriosklerotischen Herzkrankheiten und Schlaganfall bestand nicht.
    Abstract: Resume On a mis en parallèle le nombre journalier de décès survenus dans 10 grandes villes des Etats-Unis et des paramètres météorologiques. L'étude se rapporte aux mois de janvier, avril, juillet et octobre des années 1962 à 1965. On a pu en tirer une corrélation entre les périodes chaudes à atmosphère polluée et une mortalité élevée. En outre, des variations interdiurnes prononcées de la température, du point de rosée et de la pression atmosphérique sont accompagnées de fluctuations marquées de la mortalité. Dans le nord-est, le nord et le centre des Etats-Unis, la mortalité augmente par situations préfrontales et diminue par situations postfrontales. La meilleure relation avec les éléments météorologiques est donnée par le nombre total de décès. Suivent ensuite les décès des gens âgés de plus de 70 ans, puis de ceux qui sont plus jeunes. On n'a par contre pas décelé d'effets météorotropiques marqués ni dans le cas de faiblesses cardiaques artériosclérotiques ni dans le cas d'attaques d'apopléxie.
    Notes: Abstract Daily deaths in ten large cities in the United States were correlated with weather elements for the months of January, April, July, and October of the years 1962–1965. In addition to showing the effects of spells of hot, humid weather and pollution episodes (extreme weather), it was determined that large interdiurnal changes of temperature, dewpoint, and pressure were accompanied by fluctuations in daily mortality. This applies to the northcentral and northeastern United States, where increases in mortality were coincident with prefrontal weather, decreases with postfrontal weather. Total mortality was the cause of death which correlated highest with the weather elements. Deaths over age 70, and under 70, follow in that order. There was little essential difference between arteriosclerotic heart disease and stroke in responsiveness to weather events.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Verschiedene Untersuchungen an bestimmten Orten brachten statistische Beziehungen zwischen der Sterblichkeit, besonders der bei cerebralen Blutungen und Wetterfronten. Eine synoptische Studie mit den täglichen Todesfällen in den USA vom 16 Oktober bis 3 November 1963, die durch den Durchzug einer sehr markanten Kaltfront gekennzeichnet und von einem vollständigen Wechsel im Wettergepräge begleitet war, zeigte keinerlei Beziehung zwischen dem Frontdurchzug und der allgemeinen Sterblichkeit oder der an cerebralen Blutungen.
    Abstract: Resume Diverses études localisées ont montré qu'il existe des rapports étroits, statistiquement prouvés, entre les fronts météorologiques d'une part, les décès en général et plus spécialement ceux provenant d'accidents cérébro-vasculaires d'autre part. Une étude synoptique a été faite en considérant, jour après jour, tous les décès survenus aux Etats-Unis du 16 Octobre au 6 Novembre 1963. Cette période est caractérisée par le passage d'un front froid très actif suivi d'un changement complet des conditions atmosphériques. Cette étude n'a révélé aucune relation entre le passage du dit front d'une part, les accidents cérébro-vasculaires ou les décès en général d'autre part.
    Notes: Abstract Various localized studies have shown statistical relations between mortality, specifically mortality from cerebral vascular accidents, and meteorological fronts. A synoptic study, covering daily deaths in the United States from 16 October to 6 November, 1963, marked by the passage of a very pronounced cold front and accompanied by a complete change in weather pattern failed to show any relations of the frontal motion to either CVA mortality or general mortality.

    Description: Focused Investigations of Relativistic Electron Burst Intensity, Range, and Dynamics (FIREBIRD), a space weather–targeted and goal-directed mission supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, will launch into a high-inclination, low-Earth orbit in October 2013 as a secondary payload under NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites program. FIREBIRD is a dual CubeSat mission that is designed to resolve the spatial scale size and energy dependence of electron microbursts from the Van Allen radiation belts. The FIREBIRD mission embodies the CubeSat ideal: high scientific return provided at low cost through focused and novel investigation of an unexplored yet important phenomenon in a region easily accessed by nanosatellites.
