Abstract The Western Mediterranean is a climate change hotspot subject to generalized
drying together with an increased torrentiality in precipitation with future scenarios pointing …

The Mediterranean region contains a diverse and interesting climate ranging from areas
with permanent glaciers to areas of subtropical, semiarid regions. The region is potentially …

The present study aims to identify regions of extreme precipitation in mainland Portugal and
to create a single index of extreme precipitation susceptibility (EPSI). For this purpose …

Previous research has identified the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) as one of the dominant
atmospheric patterns on the temporal evolution of precipitation and temperature in the …

We analyzed the impact of drought measured on different time-scales on radial growth of
eight tree species during the period 1950–2005 growing across a wide climatic gradient …

Rainfall is the most important but variable climatic parameter in the semiarid tropics. In this
study, the trend and variability of rainfall were compared with the perception of farmers in …

In this study the climatic and hydrological trends across 88 sub-basins of the Ebro River
basin were analyzed for the period 1950–2006. A new database of climate information and …

In order to investigate the behaviour of climatic and hydrological variables, several statistical
and stochastic techniques are currently applied to time series. In the present study a …

The spatial variability of seasonal precipitation regimes in the Iberian Peninsula is
overlapped by complex patterns of temporal variability. Consequently, traditionally …

ABSTRACT This study presents the results of dynamically downscaled climate simulations
over Italy produced with the COSMO-CLM model. Three simulations forced by ERA-Interim …
