introduction thunderstorms pose a significant threat to modern societies and their assets. despite their local-scale characteristics, severe thunderstorms and associated extreme events like heavy rainfall, hail, gusts, or tornadoes can cause considerable damage to agriculture, buildings, or infrastructure, and facilities. thunderstorms are highly localized and largely stationary weather systems...

The concentrations of some heavy metals in sediment from the Sinop coasts of the Black Sea were measured to monitor metal pollution in 2013. The distribution of the heavy metals in sediments of the Black Sea shows a variable pattern. The objectives of the present study were to elucidate the distribution heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, As, Cd, Cr, Hg and Co in sediment from Sinop co...

Holocene climate variability is investigated in the North Pacific and North Atlantic realms, using alkenone-derived sea-surface temperature (SST) records as well as a millennial scale simulation with a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM). The alkenone SST data indicate a temperature increase over almost the entire North Pacific from 7 cal kyr BP to the present. A dipole p...

increasingly, aq qoyunlu rule and ottoman empire were inclined to contradict in the half of 9th/15th century. access to central anatolia for aq qoyunlu was a pivotal enterprise by which could develop its commercial ties. in contrast, ottomans tried to counteract the aq qoyunlu strives and thwarted its close relation with venice since ottomans regarded the latter as an archenemy in europe. forem...

extended abstractintroduction the recognition of behaviors of the atmospheric circulation patterns and effective climatic elements in occurrence of flood is very important, especially because abnormal climate changes such as global warming in recent years tend to change in atmospheric circulation patterns and outbreak climatic inelegances in many areas in the world. intensive and torrential pre...

Abstract Growing evidence indicates that the atmospheric and oceanic circulation experiences a systematic poleward shift in warming climate. However, complexity of climate system, including coupling between ocean atmosphere, natural variability land-sea distribution, tends to obfuscate causal mechanism underlying shift. Here, using an idealised coupled aqua-planet model, we explore shifting cir...

The large-scale features favoring tropical cyclogenesis and development are low vertical wind shear, below normal sea-level pressure and abnormally warm ocean temperatures. High wind shear is thought to inhibit development by preventing cumulonimbus condensation from collecting into a distinct heat source at the core of a disturbance. Also, it shears the initially delicate pattern of circulatio...

Two sea turtle species nest in the Mediterranean, the green turtle and the loggerhead turtle. Leatherbacks are widely distributed in the Mediterranean, although they do not have any permanent nesting area. Two other species, the hawksbill and the Kemp’s ridley turtle only occur occasionally. Available information on sea turtle populations in the Mediterranean Sea, including distribution, popula...
