By drawing on con- temporary research from across the social sciences, it ofers novel insights into ongoing spatial developments within and between the various regions of Europe. It also seeks to introduce new geographies at the edges of the European Union and the interplay with bordering areas at the Mediterranean, African and eastern Asian interfaces of the EU. As a result, this series acts as an important forum for themes of pan-European interest and beyond. Te New Geographies of Europe series welcomes proposals for monographs and edited volumes taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to spatial phenomena in Europe. Contributions are especially welcome where the focus is upon novel spatial phenomena, path-dependent processes of socio-economic change or policy responses at various levels throughout Europe.

  • Tornado Climatology of Finland
    1446 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 140 Tornado Climatology of Finland JENNI RAUHALA Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland HAROLD E. BROOKS NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma DAVID M. SCHULTZ Centre for Atmospheric Science, School for Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom, and Division of Atmospheric Science, Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, and Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland (Manuscript received 31 July 2011, in final form 8 November 2011) ABSTRACT A tornado climatology for Finland is constructed from 1796 to 2007. The climatology consists of two datasets. A historical dataset (1796–1996) is largely constructed from newspaper archives and other historical archives and datasets, and a recent dataset (1997–2007) is largely constructed from eyewitness accounts sent to the Finnish Meteorological Institute and news reports. This article describes the process of collecting and evaluating possible tornado reports. Altogether, 298 Finnish tornado cases compose the climatology: 129 from the historical dataset and 169 from the recent dataset. An annual average of 14 tornado cases occur in Finland (1997–2007). A case with a significant tornado (F2 or stronger) occurs in our database on average every other year, composing 14% of all tornado cases. All documented tornadoes in Finland have occurred between April and November. As in the neighboring countries in northern Europe, July and August are the months with the maximum frequency of tornado cases, coincident with the highest lightning occurrence both over land and sea. Waterspouts tend to be favored later in the summer, peaking in August. The peak month for significant tornadoes is August.

The concentrations of radioactive cesium and other gamma-emitting nuclides were determined on meat of moose8 and other cervids and also on small game in various parts of the country before or in the beginning of the hunting season. The most important radionuclides found in the samples were 134Cs and 137Cs. In addition to these, 131I was detected in the first moose meat samples in the spring, and 110"Ag in a part of the waterfowl samples. None of them was significant as far as the dietary intake of radionuclides is concerned. The transfer of fallout radiocesium to game meat was most efficient in the case of the arctic hare and inland waterfowl; terrestrial game birds and the brown hare belonged to the same category as moose.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”.

  • START of the TOUR 1. Riga Gate the Approximate Area Between
    START OF THE TOUR 1. Riga Gate The approximate area between Nikolai 7 (a yellow commercial building) and 12 (a green commercial building), see point 1 on the map. The red contour line on the map marks the town and castle walls in the Hanseatic times. The territory of the castle has been marked with diagonal lines, the area that belonged to the town is marked with dots. The contour line is discontinued at the location of the gate. Towers have been marked with circles, half-towers with semi-circles. The map serves an illustrative purpose. A land route, which was in use already in the 13th century, lead to Riga, starting from the Riga Gate and following the coastline. A more direct route would have been through the Cattle Gate (see point 8 on the map), but the road conditions were better when headed through the Riga Gate. This first point gives a great overview of the entire town wall, moat, towers, other gates, main streets and general image of the town. New-Pärnu was surrounded by a rampart. Read more... This rule did not apply to all medieval towns of the region. There were 9 towns, 2 of them big, on the Estonian territory in medieval times: Tallinn and Tartu, plus 7 smaller towns: Rakvere, Paide, Narva, Viljandi, Haapsalu, New- and Old-Pärnu. Four of those, in turn, belonged to the Hanseatic League: Tallinn, Tartu, Viljandi and New-Pärnu. Other medieval small towns that had town walls around them were Viljandi and Narva (Haapsalu was at least partially surrounded).

STUK-A 136, Helsinki 1996, 55 s. + liitteet 41 s. ISBN 951-172-158-X ISSN 0781-1705 Avainsanat: Huoneilman radon, radonennuste, rakennuspaikka, maapera tiivistelmA Radonennusteessa on tarkoitus luokitella rakennusmaa sen perusteella, kuinka suuressa osassa uusista pientaloista on odotettavissa, etta radonpitoisuus 200 tai 400 Bq/m3 ylittyy. Ennusteessa oletetaan, ettei radonin torjuntaan mitenkaan varauduta rakennusvaiheessa. Kymen laanin radonennustetta laadittaessa kaytettiin hyvaksi noin 5900 pientalon radonmittaustuloksia. Mittauskohteista tiedettiin niiden tarkka sijainti kartalle merkittyna, rakennuspaikan maapera, talon valmistumisvuosi ja perustamistapa. Naiden tietojen ja kaytettavissa olevan geologisen tiedon perusteella Kymen laanin rakennusmaa jaettiin kolmeentoista alueeseen. Alueille arvioitiin odotettavissa ole- vat radonpitoisuudet ja enimmaisarvqjen (200, 400 ja 800 Bq/m3) ylitysprosentit. Ennusteen radonpitoisuudet ja ylitysprosentit on laskettu radonkriittisimmille perustamistavoille. Niihin kuuluvat talot, joissa on sokkelin
