Abstract:	Since Galán et al. (2017) published important definitions for terms to be used in aerobiological studies, techniques have evolved regarding automatic and real-time monitoring of pollen and fungal spores, with a range of different technologies having been established over the past decade. These developments have been accompanied by the emergence of a new set of specific and common terminologies related not only to the instrumental hardware but also particularly to the machine learning algorithms that are used to classify particles. The aim of this article is to update the recommended aerobiological terminology, including definitions related to automatic and real-time monitoring and to new applications using real-time data, such as numerical forecast models. This is particularly important for the standardisation of procedures, the homogenisation of time series, using data from both manual and automatic methods, as well as simply for ensuring the community has a common language to work with.
