We present some first insights into hourly automatic pollen measurements from two campaigns performed at MeteoSwiss (spring to early summer 2015 and 2016). While the focus of the campaigns was on device validation, the data obtained provided the possibility to carry out a statistical analysis to estimate airborne pollen concentrations at hourly resolution. We compare the time series from the automatic system with reference manual measurements to assess the validity of the automatic system. As expected, during peak immission periods there is a strong correlation between manual and automatic measurements. On days with average pollen concentrations less than 100 grains per cubic metre, only the high-sampling automatic system provides reasonable results. We show how this system provides sub-daily exposition patterns, which cannot easily be derived from the manual measurements, and comment on their relevance for patient information systems. Finally, we present a selection of daily cycles for pollen immission at the observation site and analyse the influence of weather parameters on pollen emission and immission.

自动花粉监测：每小时数据的初步洞察

我们展示了在瑞士气象局（2015 年春季至初夏和 2016 年）进行的两次活动中每小时自动花粉测量的一些初步见解。虽然活动的重点是设备验证，但获得的数据提供了进行统计分析以估计每小时分辨率的空气传播花粉浓度的可能性。我们将来自自动系统的时间序列与参考手动测量值进行比较，以评估自动系统的有效性。正如预期的那样，在峰值输入期间，手动和自动测量之间存在很强的相关性。在平均花粉浓度低于每立方米 100 粒的日子里，只有高采样自动系统才能提供合理的结果。我们展示了该系统如何提供次日展示模式，不能轻易从手动测量中推导出来，并评论它们与患者信息系统的相关性。最后，我们选择了观测点花粉输入的每日周期，并分析了天气参数对花粉发射和输入的影响。
