The climate of the Arabian Peninsula is characterized by significant spatial and temporal
variations, due to its complex topography and the large-scale atmospheric circulation …

As a contribution to phase2 of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative
(AQMEII), eight different simulations for the year 2010 were performed with WRF-Chem for …

We employ the WRF-Chem model to study summertime air pollution, the intense
photochemical activity and their impact on air quality over the eastern Mediterranean. We …

A record-breaking dust episode took place in Crete on 22 March 2018. The event was
characterized by surface concentrations exceeding 1 mg m− 3 for a period of 4–7 h …

The importance of wind-blown mineral dust for cloud droplet formation is studied by
considering (i) the adsorption of water on the surface of insoluble particles,(ii) particle …

Natural aerosol emission represents one of the largest uncertainties in our understanding of
the radiation budget. Sulfur emitted by marine organisms, as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) …

The estimation of heavy precipitation events is a particularly difficult task, especially over
high mountainous terrain typically associated with scant availability of in situ observations …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a basin with intense cyclonic activity. The
multidimensional impact of such weather events on human life enhances the need and …

On present-day Earth, dust emissions are restricted only to a few desert regions mainly due
to the distribution of land vegetation. The atmospheric dust loading is thus relatively small …

We evaluate air quality modeling over the East Mediterranean using the benchmarking
methodology developed in the framework of the Forum for Air Quality Modelling in Europe …
