How Do Climatic Factors Directly Influence the Incidence and Risk of Meningococcal Meningitis Across the African Meningitis Belt? A Narrative Literature Review

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Globally, the highest incidence of meningococcal meningitis occurs within the African meningitis belt, spanning 26 countries across sub‐Saharan Africa. Meningococcal meningitis incidence is highly seasonal in this region specifically, with outbreaks mostly occurring during the dry season, characterized by low rainfall and atmospheric humidity,

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1099-1113, September 2026.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Observations of the Temporal Evolution and Spatial Structure of the Gap Flow in the Wipp Valley on 2 and 3 October 1999 [PDF]

, 2004
The investigation of gap flow in the Wipp Valley (GAP project) is one of the objectives of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP). The valley runs south–north across the Brenner Pass, from Italy to Austria.

Fire–Moisture Interactions Shape Recovery Trajectories Across Temperate Vegetation Communities

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Future recovery from fire will be governed not only by characteristics of the fire itself and those of the affected vegetation community, but also by the extent to which these characteristics interact with prevailing hydro‐climatic conditions. Favourable soil moisture conditions post‐fire increase the likelihood that ecosystems will recover to a stable

DISAPPEARANCE OF PULSATIONS IN SEVERE DOWNSLOPE WINDSTORMS

Hrvatski meteorološki časopis, 2005
Idealized numerical simulations of the bora-type flow have been performed. The intention was to find what causes the pulsations in the developed windstorm state to disappear. Four different incident vertical profiles were used and the results showed that the main effect originates from the low-level positive shear, and the uppertropospheric jet stream ...

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

A New Theory for Downslope Windstorms and Trapped Mountain Waves

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2016
Abstract Linear mountain gravity waves forced by a nonlinear surface boundary condition are derived for a background wind that is null at the surface and increases smoothly to reach a constant value aloft and for a constant buoyancy frequency.

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...
