While it is generally recognized that clouds play an important role in the climate system, many fundamental cloud properties have not been extensively observed. Clouds can be described on multiple spatial and temporal scales. At the largest scales, the patterns of cloud systems denote synoptic scale motions. These patterns are, however, strongly modulated by mesoscale atmospheric motions and in...

The implementation of adaptation actions in local conservation management is a new and complex task with multiple facets, influenced by factors differing from site to site.

The aim of this paper is to conduct an exploratory investigation on the type of competitive strategies that are likely to be associated with different networking profiles. We focus our attention on response strategies related to investments and technological adjustments, and how they vary according to different spatial scales of firms’ networks. We report the results of the application of a com...
