Euro-Mediterranean climate variability in boreal winter: a potential role of the East Asian trough
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Climate Dynamics"
DOI: 10.1007/s00382-018-4573-9
Abstract: Euro-Mediterranean climate variability has been associated mostly with the upstream atmospheric circulation and teleconnection patterns, the North Atlantic Oscillation and European blocking being the main ones. This study shows, for the first time, that the… read more here.

Long-term studies of seasonal variability enable evaluation of macroinvertebrate response to an acute oil spill in an urban Mediterranean-climate stream
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Hydrobiologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3194-3
Abstract: Benthic macroinvertebrates show seasonal fluctuations with variability in hydrologic conditions. Coastal northern California (USA) is located in a Mediterranean-climate area, which is characterized by predictable wet and dry seasons, and consequently stream flows. Monthly sampling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.12.327
Abstract: Abstract The Mediterranean region is characterised by a temperate climate and scarce water resources; therefore, minimum flows must be maintained in high mountain basins to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem. Small hydropower facilities allow… read more here.
