the effective patterns and mechanisms of synoptic systems during the wet and dry spells in midwest of iran(mwi) analyzed and discussed on seasonal scales from 1974 to 2003. synoptic analysis is based on synoptic chartson sea level pressure (slp), 850 and 500 hpa levels. the results of synoptic analysis show that dry spells in mwiare mostly corresponded to azores high (azh) intensifying and its ...

Background The Hellenic Seas are influenced by on-going environmental changes and the introduction of alien species, which are expected to have an impact on their biodiversity. This study contributes to the knowledge of the Hellenic marine gastropod biodiversity, expanding data over the entire Greek territory, during the period from October 2008 to March 2017. Results This work presents 45 sp...

Deep-sea ecosystems represent the largest biome of the global biosphere, but knowledge of their biodiversity is still scant. The Mediterranean basin has been proposed as a hot spot of terrestrial and coastal marine biodiversity but has been supposed to be impoverished of deep-sea species richness. We summarized all available information on benthic biodiversity (Prokaryotes, Foraminifera, Meiofa...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever(FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease particularly frequent around the Mediterranean basin. Behçet disease (BD) is a autoinflammatory disease which distribution is mainly around the Mediterranean Sea, Middle East and Far East.Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the brain that affects people in every country of the world.It is characterized by recurrent seiz...

1. introduction variability and changes in precipitation amounts, including extreme precipitation and droughts, trigger relevant societal and environmental impacts. atmospheric circulation strongly determines precipitation variability over southern half of iran. the influence of prevalent synoptic situations on the distribution of precipitation amounts needs to be understood, as well as their f...

Marine litter is any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment. Ingestion of marine litter can have lethal and sub-lethal effects on wildlife that accidentally ingests it, and sea turtles are particularly susceptible to this threat. The European Commission drafted the 2008/56/EC Marine Strategy Framework Direct...

previous studies show that the north atlantic oscillation (nao) is the dominant mode of variability in the northern hemisphere winter with marked climatic effects on its downstream regions. in this article the effects of some important forcing terms in the time tendency equation of the eddy kinetic energy (eke) in critical positive months (cpm) and critical negative months (cnm) of the nao are ...

The Mediterranean climate prevailing on the coastal belt of the Mediterranean Sea undergoes to change toward the inner part of the Anatolia in accordance with the increase of altitude, mountain range barriers, the tectonic structure of the region, and tectonic-karstic depressions. Continentality also plays a critical role in the micro-climates that prevail across the various eco-regions. This s...
