A large number of intense cyclones occur every year in the Mediterranean basin, one of the
climate change hotspots. Producing a broad range of severe socio-economic and …

Mountainous terrain exerts an important influence on the Earth's atmosphere and affects
atmospheric transport and mixing at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The …

In our era, the rapid increase of parallel programming coupled with high‐performance
computing (HPC) facilities allows for the use of two‐dimensional shallow water equation (2D …

New communication and digital image technologies have enabled the public to produce
large quantities of flood observations and share them through social media. In addition to …

The Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate
change “hotspots” of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this …

We investigate the effect of using convection-permitting models (CPMs) spanning a pan-
European domain on the representation of precipitation distribution at a climatic scale. In …

The Mediterranean region is frequently affected by heavy precipitation events associated
with flash floods, landslides, and mudslides that cause hundreds of millions of euros in …

Abstract On November 15, 2017, a high intensity convective storm, reaching 300 mm in 13 h
in the core zone of the event, hit the western part of the region of Attica in Greece, causing a …

In this study we investigate the scaling of precipitation extremes with temperature in the
Mediterranean region by assessing against observations the present day and future …

Modelling the rare but high-impact Mediterranean Heavy Precipitation Events (HPEs) at
climate scale remains a largely open scientific challenge. The issue is adressed here by …
