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.

Pollution in mediterranean-climate rivers
Hydrobiologia, 2012This review examines information generated over the past decade on the pollution of rivers in regions with a mediterranean-type climate (med-climate). Pollution has clearly increased in the last 100 years and is correlated with the development of industry, agriculture and human population.

The Climate of the Mediterranean Region
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1943Synopsis I. In the first part the characteristic observational facts are given. Average comfortable winter temperatures, hot summers, and a dry period in summer are the significant features. Cloudiness is little, even in winter, in the rainy period. II. The physical explanation is based on the pressure distribution and the

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 ...

Changes of accumulation, pedogenesis and vertical erosion for the last nearly 20 000 years in connexion with periods of warm and cold climates can be proved for Mediterranean areas. The climate of Mediterranean areas became more arid for the last nearly 5 000 years.

Climate and Climate History of the Mediterranean Basin
2003The Mediterranean basin is a unique feature of the Earth’s system for two reasons. Firstly, its geographical position is at the border between two climate regimes, and consequently climate and climate dependent living conditions in the area are very sensitive against even small shifts of this border. Secondly, due to the enclosed large sea, the bizarre

Mediterranean Aquaculture in a Changing Climate
2013The semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea is the biggest marginal sea of the Earth, and it is at the centre of the life of several millions of people. Seafood is widely consumed in this region, with an average of 16.5 Kg/capita/year, and one fourth of the seafood supply comes from aquaculture activities. The Mediterranean aquaculture sector has expanded over

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.
