DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-05063-x
Abstract: The Mediterranean has been identified as particularly vulnerable to climate change, yet a high-resolution temperature reconstruction extending back into the Medieval Warm Period is still lacking. Here we present such a record from a high-elevation… read more here.

Tropical and mid-latitude causal drivers of the eastern Mediterranean Etesians during boreal summer
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Climate Dynamics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00382-024-07411-y
Abstract: During boreal summer, large scale subsidence and a persistent northerly flow, known as the Etesians, characterize the tropospheric circulation over the eastern Mediterranean. The Etesians bring clear skies and alleviate the impact of heat waves… read more here.
