Mediterranean Climate

Beschreibung

This is the first volume in the series "Regional Climate Studies". It presents the analysis of climatological data from 500 years b.c. to the present day. It discusses climate variablity and its interaction with the biosphere in the Mediterranean area. Different approaches are applied to describe and interpret climate variability and to denote trends. Specific emphasis is given to variable water cycle which makes the book a prerequisite for all those concerned with the problem of desertification as well as the validation of climate models. The book adresses the role of remote sensing data to detect synergies throughout the Mediterranean basin and refers to recent marine research results. The second volume of the series will probably be published in February 2003.

From the reviews:"An overview of the large-scale aspects of the climate in Mediterranean is presented …. The book is written, structured and produced well, with good, clear tables, maps and graphs and a detailed reference list. It is a useful source book for the Mediterranean climate studies and is recommended for such studies." (Pavlos Kassomenos, International Journal of Climatology, Vol. 26 (7), 2006)"It is well-known that the Mediterranean climate is influenced by the subtropical high pressure zone in summer (pronounced dryness), and the mid-latitude westerlies in winter (rainy season). … is useful for all scientists and students interested in the characteristics and variability of Mediterranean climate and its impacts. The range of interdisciplinary coverage is remarkable, the quality of text and figure reproduction is good quality …." (C. –D. Schönwiese, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 12 (5), 2003)
