Mediterranean-Climate Ecosystems
2001In this chapter we will review the current status of biological diversity in the mediterranean-climate regions of the world, making comparisons among them, as well as examining the threats to biological systems now and in the future. Mediterranean-type climates, which are characterized by a predominantly winter rainfall regime, exist in five regions of

Restoring mediterranean-climate rivers
Hydrobiologia, 2012Mediterranean-climate rivers (med-rivers) have highly variable flow regimes, with large, periodic floods shaping the (often-braided) channels, which is different from stable humid-climate rivers, whose form may be dominated by the 1.5-year flood. There is a fundamental challenge in attempting to “restore” such variable, ever-changing, dynamic river ...

Holocene climatic changes in the western Mediterranean: installation of the Mediterranean climate
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IIA - Earth and Planetary Science, 1997Abstract In the western Mediterranean during the Holocene, summer drought occurred progressively from south to north. In south eastern Spain, between latitudes 36 and 39 °N, it prevailed from about 10 000 BP and a first arid episode is recorded around 7,000 yr BP. A Mediterranean climate reached a latitude 39–40 °N near 7 000 BP and near 41 °N before

Modeling of the Mediterranean Climate System
2012The objective of this chapter is to make a review on the state of the art of regional climate modeling over the Mediterranean. Two main parts are developed. The first one is devoted to atmospheric parameters and the basic performance of both global and regional climate models in simulating the Mediterranean climate.

Climatic characteristics of Mediterranean cyclones
Russian Meteorology and Hydrology, 2012Based on the data for the period of 1948–2004 using the objective methods of automatic identification of cyclones, the main areas of Mediterranean cyclogenesis are revealed, the main regularities of their trajectories are described, and the peculiarities of interseasonal variability of characteristics of the genesis and movement of Mediterranean ...

A climate classification: Mediterranean, monsoon and westerlies climates
2020<p>This study aims to develop a large-scale climate classification for investigating the mechanisms of global climate formation in the surface. There are three types of large-scale climates, i.e., monsoon, Mediterranean and westerlies, corresponding respectively to collocation of temperature and precipitation at in-phase, anti ...

Regionalization of the Mediterranean climate
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1986Principal component analysis and cluster analysis applied to annual mean temperature records distributed all over the European Mediterranean countries have allowed the identification of climatic regions. The first three components are significant. They were selected by a dominant variance selection rule, called rule N.
