The Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East (EMME) are likely to be greatly affected by climate change, associated with increases in frequency intensity of droughts hot weather conditions. Since region is diverse extreme conditions already common, impacts will disproportional. We have analyzed long-term meteorological datasets along regional model projections for 21st century, based on intermediate IPCC SRES scenario A1B. This suggests a continual, gradual relatively strong warming about...

Abstract Fire activity has significantly changed in Europe over the last decades (1980–2020s), with emergence of summers attaining unprecedented fire prone weather conditions. Here we report a significant shift non-stationary relationship linking conditions and intensity measured terms CO 2 emissions released during biomass burning across latitudinal gradient European IPCC regions. The reported trends indicate that global warming is possibly inducing an incipient change on regional dynamics...
Climate changes in the Mediterranean region, related to a significant increase temperature and precipitation patterns, can potentially affect local economies. Agriculture tourism are undoubtedly most important economic sources for Greece these may be more strongly affected by changing future climate conditions. change their various negative impacts on human life also detected environment; hence this study deals with implications, caused climate, urban forest areas. Potential mid-twenty-first...
The eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, a region with diverse socioeconomic cultural identities, is exposed to strong climatic gradients between its temperate north arid south. Model projections of the twenty-first century indicate increasing hot weather extremes decreasing rainfall. We present model results, which suggest that across Balkan Peninsula Turkey climate change particularly rapid, especially summer temperatures are expected increase strongly. Temperature rise can be amplified...
Abstract Recent studies have shown that temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean are expected to change, contributing longer more intense summer droughts even extend out of season. In connection this, frequency forest fire occurrence intensity will likely increase. present study, changes future danger conditions assessed for different regions Greece using Canadian weather index (FWI). Gridded climate output as estimated from three regional models Coordinated Regional Downscaling...

Ozone air pollution is identified as one of the main threats bearing upon human health and ecosystems, with 25 000 deaths in 2005 attributed to surface ozone Europe (IIASA 2013 TSAP Report #10). In addition, there a concern that climate change could negate mitigation strategies, making them insufficient over long run jeopardising chances meet term objective set by European Union Directive 2008 (Directive 2008/50/EC Parliament Council 21 May 2008) (60 ppbv, daily maximum). This effect has...

Abstract. Current trends in the Mediterranean climate, and more specifically Greece, indicate longer intense summer droughts that even extend out of season. In connection to this, frequency forest fire occurrence intensity is on rise. present study, Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) used order investigate relationship between risk meteorological conditions Greece. FWI a meteorologically based index designed Canada worldwide, including Basin, estimate danger generalised fuel type solely...
Climate change has the potential to influence many aspects of wildfire behavior and risk. During last decade, Greece experienced large-scale phenomena with unprecedented fire impacts. In this study, thousands events were simulated Minimum Travel Time (MTT) growth algorithm (called Randig) resulted in spatial data that describe conditional burn probabilities, spread intensity Messinia, Greece. Present (1961–1990) future (2071–2100) climate projections derived from simulations KNMI regional...
Abstract We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H i ) observations.

In diffuse ISM, H strongly correlated partly organized into that are aligned local magnetic field. analyze deep at 95, 150, 220 GHz, over...
MED-GOLD was a 54-months research and innovation project, whose main aim to co-develop climate services for three staples of the Mediterranean food system, namely grapes, olives durum wheat. This paper describes methodology adopted co-development pilot service wine sector, focusing on Douro Wine Region in northern Portugal. In first step, industrial partner SOGRAPE identified key decisions users' needs sector region by involving managers from their own vineyards that region. From this...
ABSTRACT Observations of pulsar scintillation are among the few astrophysical probes very small-scale (≲ au) phenomena in interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, characterization arcs, including their curvature and intensity distributions, can be related to turbulence potentially overpressurized plasma local ISM inhomogeneities, such as supernova remnants, H ii regions, bow shocks. Here we present a survey eight pulsars conducted at Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST),...
