[1] Sea level in the Mediterranean Sea over the period 1993–2011 is studied on the basis of altimetry, temperature, and salinity data and gravity measurements from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) (2002–2010). An observed increase in sea level corresponds to a linear sea level trend of 3.0 0.5mm/yr dominated by the increase in the oceanic mass in the basin. The increase in sea le...

Seasonal forecasts have improved during the last decades, mostly due to an increase of 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 have also evolved during the last years. This paper evaluates the connecti...

the “driving force - pressure - state - impact – response” modeling framework isadopted to consider the formation mechanisms of environmental risks and the requirements ofecological environment protection. moreover, a systematical index system and evaluation model forthe measurement of the coastal ecological security level is put forward in this paper to assess thestate of coastal ecological en...

Sixteen high-resolution marine aerosol (Na, SO4 ) records from spatially distributed International Trans Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE) ice cores spanning the last ~200 years from the Pine Island-Thwaites and Ross drainage systems and the South Pole are used to examine sources (sea spray and frost flowers) and transport pathways of marine aerosols into West Antarctica. Factors contribu...

In order to evaluate to the feasibility of using lecithins for nanocapsules including functional food materials, liposomes were prepared from different commercially available lecithins (SLP-WHITE, SLP-PC70 and PL30S) by the Bangham method, and their physicochemical properties were examined by using a confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and the measurements of trapping efficiency. There wa...

High aerosol levels pose severe air pollution and climate change challenges in Iran. Although regional optical depth (AOD) trends have been analyzed during the dusty season over Iran, specific factors that are driving spatio-temporal variations winter AOD influence of meteorological dynamics on remain unclear. This study analyzes long-term Iran period 2000–2020 using updated Modern-Era Retrospe...

This paper proposes a joint analysis of variations global sea-level pressure (SLP) and Earth’s rotation (RP), expressed as the coordinates pole (m1, m2) length day (lod). We retain iterative singular spectrum (iSSA) main tool to extract trend, periods, quasi periods in data time series. SLP components are weak seven quasi-periodic or periodic (?130, 90, 50, 22, 15, 4, 1.8 years), an annual cycl...

in order to determine the synoptic pattern of heavy and extreme precipitations on the southern coast of the caspian sea, precipitation characteristics of the caspian region were investigated by the use of eight synoptic stations data. considering the percentage thresholds, the days with heavy and extreme precipitations were determined for a 10 year period (1994-2003). since more than 75% of day...
