An integrated modeling study on the effects of mineral dust and sea salt particles on clouds and precipitation

This report addresses the effects of pollution on the development of precipitation in clean ("pristine") and polluted ("hazy") environments in the Eastern Mediterranean by using the Integrated Community Limited Area Modeling System (ICLAMS) (an extended ve ...

Could anthropogenic soil erosion have influenced Mediterranean vegetation distribution over the Holocene?

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins

The circum-Mediterranean region is characterized by a strongly seasonal climate with rainy winters and intense summertime drought, steep topography, and a multi-millennial history of intensive human land use, all of which make its soils vulnerable to erosi ...

Landscape genomics and biased FST approaches reveal single nucleotide polymorphisms under selection in goat breeds of North-East Mediterranean

Stéphane Joost

Background: In this study we compare outlier loci detected using a FST based method with those identified by a recently described method based on spatial analysis (SAM). We tested a panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNSPs) previously genotyped in i ...

Variability of the spatial structure of intense Mediterranean precipitation

Alexis Berne

Intense Mediterranean precipitation can generate devastating flash floods. A better understanding of the spatial structure of intense rainfall is critical to better identify catchments that will produce strong hydrological responses. We focus on two intens ...

Decrease of lead concentrations in the Western Mediterranean atmosphere during the last 20 years

Thomas Robin

Concentrations of lead (Pb) in the atmospheric aerosol were monitored in 198687, 199293, 1995, 199798 and 20032005 at a North-Western Mediterranean coastal sampling station. After the implementation of antipollution policies on automotive Pb in the second ...

Aerosol vertical distribution in dust outflow over the Atlantic: Comparisons between Global Earth Observing System (GEOS)-Chem and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO)

Isabelle Bey, Sylvia Generoso

Vertically-resolved attenuated backscatter from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission and Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT)from Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are used to characterize t ...

Holocene climate change in the eastern Mediterranean region: A comparison of stable isotope and pollen data from Lake Gōlhisar, southwest Turkey

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

Stable isotope and pollen data from Gölhisar Gölü, a small intramontane lake located in southwest Turkey, provide complementary records of Holocene climate change. Modern oxygen and hydrogen isotope water data are used as a means of comparing present-day i ...

Assimilation of POLDER aerosol optical thickness into the LMDz-INCA model: Implications for the Arctic aerosol burden

Isabelle Bey, Sylvia Generoso

The large spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric aerosol load makes it a challenge to quantify aerosol effect on climate. This study is one of the first attempts to apply data assimilation for the analysis of global aerosol distribution. Aerosol o ...

Estimating the Vertical Structure of Intense Mediterranean Precipitation Using Two X-Band Weather Radar Systems

Alexis Berne

The present study aims at a preliminary approach of multiradar compositing applied to the estimation of the vertical structure of precipitation—an important issue for radar rainfall measurement and prediction. During the HYDROMET Integrated Radar Experimen ...
