从第18届国际生物气象会议看生物气象研究的进展与动向

Advances and Trends in the Biometeorological Researches from the 18th International Congress of Biometeorology

第18届国际生物气象会议于2008年9月22—26日在日本东京举行。通过简要介绍了这次会议的情况,概括了近年来生物气象研究的进展与动向。从ICB2008各会场的交流内容和讨论可以看出,未来生物气象研究关注的重点问题主要包括以下六个方面:(1)人类生物气象学领域的热浪与健康预警系统、医疗气象、室外工作热环境评价及医疗天气预报研究与应用。(2)城市气候特征与评价及减缓措施研究。(3)气候变化对极端天气、气候事件的影响。(4)气候变化对农业的影响。(5)动物对气象条件和气候变化的响应。(6)污染物跨国输送与国际环境合作研究。加强我国的生物气象研究是应对气候变化影响、以人为本、构建和谐社会的需要,可以为社会可持续发展提供科学依据和咨询建议。

The 18th International Congress of Biometeorology,ICB2008,was held in Tokyo,Japan,on 22 -26 September 2008 The ICB2008 and the advances of biometeorological researches in recent years are summarized.The reports and discussions in ICB2008 indicate that the important issues of future biometeorology studies mainly include the following six aspects：（1） researches and applications in the realm of human biometeorology on the topics of heat health warning systems,medical meteorology,assessment of thermal stress and strain at work in outdoor climates,and med-weather forecast;（2） the characteristics and assessment of urban climate,and the mitigation measurements;（3） the impacts of climate change on extreme weather and climate events;（4） the impacts of climate change on agriculture;（5） responses of animals to meteorological conditions and climate change;and（6） trans-boundary air pollutions and international environmental cooperation.Strengthening biometeorological research in China meets the needs of combating with climate change,human-oriented policy,and harmonious society,and could provide the scientific foundation and advisory for societal sustainable development.
