Climate Variability and Industrial-Suburban Heat Environment in a Mediterranean Area
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon prevalently concerns industrialized countries. It consists of a significant increase in temperatures, especially in industrialized and urbanized areas, in particular, during extreme warm periods like summer. This paper explores the climate variability of temperatures in two stations located in Matera city (Southern Italy), evaluating the increase in temper...
متن کاملA high-resolution δO record and Mediterranean climate variability
A high-resolution, well-dated foraminiferal δO record from a shallow-water core drilled from the Gallipoli Terrace in the Gulf of Taranto (Ionian Sea), previously measured over the last two millennia, has been extended to cover 707 BC–AD 1979. Spectral analysis of this series, performed using singular-spectrum analysis (SSA) and other classical and advanced methods, strengthens the results obta...
متن کاملInfrared and millimetre-wave scintillometry in the suburban environment – Part 2: Large-area sensible and latent heat fluxes
A millimetre-wave scintillometer was paired with an infrared scintillometer, enabling estimation of large-area evapotranspiration across northern Swindon, a suburban area in the UK. Both sensible and latent heat fluxes can be obtained using this “two-wavelength” technique, as it is able to provide both temperature and humidity structure parameters, offering a major advantage over conventional s...
متن کاملTwo millennia of climate variability in the Central Mediterranean
This experimental work addresses the need for high-resolution, long and homogeneous climatic time series that facilitate the study of climate variability over time scales of decades to millennia. We present a high-resolution record of foraminiferal δ18O from a Central-Mediterranean sediment core that covers the last two millennia. The record was analyzed using advanced spectral methods and show...
متن کاملHeat stress intensification in the Mediterranean climate change hotspot
[1] We find that elevated greenhouse gas concentrations dramatically increase heat stress risk in the Mediterranean region, with the occurrence of hot extremes increasing by 200 to 500% throughout the region. This heat stress intensification is due to preferential warming of the hot tail of the daily temperature distribution, with 95th percentile maximum and minimum temperature magnitude increa...
