the areas of the world that have mediterranean style climate are found at about 35 degrees north and south of the equator, on the western sides of continents. the distinctive feature of this climate is the small amount of rain in the summer. overall, the climate has a moderate amount of rainfall and warm winters and hot summers and. the climate of the mediterranean region is conditioned by its ...

1. To assess the effects of acute exposure to high altitude on baroreceptor function in man we evaluated the effects of baroreceptor activation on R-R interval and blood pressure control at high altitude. We measured the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components in R-R, non-invasive blood pressure and skin blood flow, and the effect of baroreceptor modulation by 0. 1-Hz sinusoidal n...

Dominant spatio-temporal patterns of joint sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level pressure (SLP) variability in the Atlantic Ocean are identified using a multivariate frequency domain analysis. Five significant frequency-bands a r e isolated ranging from the quasi-biennial to the quasi-decadal. Two quasi-biennial bands are centered around 2.2 and 2.7-year periods; two interannual bands a r...

Abstract The interannual variability of the Northern Hemisphere winter climate is strongly linked to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). While North Pacific and America often exhibit a robust response ENSO, so-called Pacific–North (PNA) pattern, Arctic Eurasian responses ENSO remain elusive. This study examines 40 different models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) find...

The influence of oceanic Ekman heat transport (Qek) on air–sea variability associated with ENSO teleconnections is examined via a pair of atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) experiments. In the mixed layer model (MLM) experiment, observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) for the years 1950–99 are specified over the tropical Pacific, while a grid of mixed layer models is coupled to the A...

A number of recent studies have reported an ENSO-like EOF mode in the global sea surface temperature (SST) field, whose time variability is marked by an abrupt change toward a warmer tropical eastern Pacific and a colder extratropical central North Pacific in 1976–77. The present study compares this pattern with the structure of the interannual variability associated with the ENSO cycle and doc...

This paper considers symbol-level precoding (SLP) for multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink. SLP is a nonlinear precoding scheme that utilizes symbol constellation structures. It has been shown that SLP can outperform the popular linear beamforming scheme. In this work we reveal a hidden connection between SLP and linear beamforming. We show that under an energy minimization de...

Seasonal forecasts have improved during the last decades, mostly due to an increase in understanding of the coupled ocean–atmosphere dynamics, and the development of models able to predict the atmosphere variability. Correlations between different teleconnection patterns and severe weather in different parts of the world are constantly evolving and changing. This paper evaluates the connection ...
