In this study, an updated and extended climatology of cyclonic tracks affecting the eastern
Mediterranean region is presented, in order to better understand the Mediterranean climate …

In this work we performed an analysis on the impacts of blocking episodes on seasonal and
annual European precipitation and the associated physical mechanisms. Distinct domains …

Biodiversity loss in terrestrial environments associated with human activities has been
appreciated as a major issue for some years now. What is less well documented is the effect …

An objective climatology of explosive cyclones is performed over a 40-year period (1962–
2001), for the Mediterranean region with the aid of the Melbourne University automatic …

An objective definition of seasons for the Mediterranean region is performed using the mean
intra-annual variations of 12 climatological parameters. The aim is to achieve a …

The influence of the large-scale atmospheric circulation on winter precipitation over the
Mediterranean region is studied with the use of monthly 2.5°× 2.5° ERA-Interim 500 and …

Land–atmosphere interactions govern the process of dust emission and transport. An
accurate depiction of these physical processes within numerical weather prediction models …

Although the effect of sea surface temperature anomalies in the Pacific and Indian Oceans
on precipitation over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) is well known, the impact of air–sea …

An objective climatology of anticyclones over the greater Mediterranean region is presented
based on the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) for a 34-yr period (1979–2012) and …

The Mediterranean Sea is affected by cyclonic activity often associated with extreme
weather. Intense snowfall events are rare, but when they occur they can lead to severe …
