Uses analyses at national and state scales to examine a suite of climatic and intrinsic drivers of continental - scale West Nile virus epidemics, including an empirically derived mechanistic relationship between temperature and transmission potential that accounts for spatial variability in vectors (climatesignals.org)
The underlying mechanistic relationship involves the phenomenon of quasi-resonant amplification (QRA) of synoptic - scale waves with that wavenumber range becoming trapped within an effective mid-latitude atmospheric waveguide. (realclimate.org)
