COHERENCE – one component of Kaplan’s “legibility” dimension, an important factor in predicting preference (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989). COMPATIBILITY – the degree of match between personal inclinations and purposes, environmental supports for intended activities and envi- ronmental constraints on action (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989). COMPLEXITY – the amount of variety present in a scene able to keep one occupied or interested; complexity is defined through different visual elements in a scene (Ulrich, 1983). CULTURE – the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time. ENVIRONMENT – the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; surroundings; milieu. ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERENCE MATRIX – the (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989) developed a preference matrix comprising four informa- tional factors which affect preferences of landscape. These factors are coherence, complexity, legibility and mystery. EXTENT – refers to the possibility for immersion in a coherent physical or conceptual environment that is of sufficient scope or scale to sustain exploration and interpretation. FASCINATION – effortless attention (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989). FESTIVE – landscape characteristic - A meeting place for festive activity and pleasure. GREEN AREAS – a place where plants are grown. 9 GREEN ROOM – is used to convey a sense that a specific place such as a garden consists of a set of distinct spaces that are separated from each other spatially and by intervening landscape elements

Kuumalaine avaldab ühiskonnale märkimisväärset mõju suurendades muuhulgas ka suremuse riski. Uurimistöö eesmärgiks on tuvastada kuumalainete ja kuumapäevade esinemised Tartu linnas ning hinnata kiirabi väljakutsete sagedust, iseloomu ja paiknemist linnaruumis elanikkonna riskirühmade alusel antud perioodidel.

  • Estonia for the WMO/UNEP Ozone Research Managers Meeting, 02 - 04 May 2011, Geneva, Switzerland
    Report of Ongoing and Planned Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Activities in Estonia for the WMO/UNEP Ozone Research Managers Meeting, 02 - 04 May 2011, Geneva, Switzerland By Kalju Eerme, Tartu Observatory 1. OBSERVATIONAL ACTIVITIES Most of systematic monitoring of atmospheric ozone and UV solar radiation in Estonia is performed at Tõravere (58° 15' N, 26° 28' E, 70 m a. s. l.), where the research institute Tartu Observatory and the Tartu-Tõravere Meteorological Station of the Estonian Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (EMHI) are located. Research areas of the Tartu Observatory are astrophysics and atmospheric physics. The meteorological station belongs to the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) and is specialized on solar radiation measurements. Scientific work on ozone and UV radiation is performed since early 1990s at the department of atmospheric physics of Tartu Observatory. Different auxiliary regular measuremants like aerosol and cloud data collection are also performed at the same location. Since 2002 sun photometer of NASA AERONET measuring column aerosol optical depth (AOD) operates there and the group of aerosol studies of University of Tartu performs atmospheric aerosol size distribution measurements. The landscape pattern around consits of arable fields, grassland areas and patches of coniferous forest. It may be considered typical to Estonia. 1.1 Measurements of column ozone Most of research work using column ozone is based on satellite data. Local column ozone measurements at Tõravere have been rather episodic. Regular direct sun column ozone measurements have been carried out in 1994-1999 using specially suited laboratory spectrometer SDL-1 supplied with a mirror system and Dobson retrieval algorithm.
