This study aims to present and analyze the time series of snow parameters focusing on representative geographical areas Eastern Mediterranean (i.e., Greece Italy) examine their seasonal variability, in terms region geography. The satellite retrievals were firstly validated against in-situ for 67 common days, with a mean bias equal −0.018 cm, near-Gaussian distribution, showing good performance ...

Climatological features of mesoscale rain activities over the Mediterranean region between 5 W–40 E and 28 N–48 N are examined using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 and 2A25 rain products. The 3B42 rainrates at 3-hourly, 0.25×0.25 spatial resolution for the last 10 years (January 1998 to July 2007) are used to form and analyze the 5-day mean and monthly mean climatology of r...

in this research energetics of the barotropic and baroclinic development for two planetary waves over eastern mediterranean, syria and west of iran and their interaction with surface cyclones were investigated. ahmadi-givi et al. (1384) calculated and examined several selected important terms in the eddy kinetic energy (eke) tendency equation during life cycle of six troughs that were developed...

The invasion of Red Sea organisms through the Suez Canal, known as “Lessepsian migration” (after Ferdinand de Lesseps, the Frenchman who directed the canal’s construction), has profoundly modified the ecosystem of the Eastern Mediterranean. This migration, the result of major man-made changes in the area, has given us a unique opportunity to study the process of invasion and colonization by tro...

Methods We analyzed clinical, laboratory and genetic data of MEFV gene of all periodic fever patients who were followed at the University Children’s Hospital Ljubljana from the beginning of 2006 to the beginning of 2013. In addition, free genetic testing was provided for suspected FMF patients with periodic fevers from the countries of the CSEE region. Genetic testing was performed in the Genet...

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most oligotrophic marine areas on earth where nitrogen fixation has formally believed to play an important role in carbon and nitrogen fluxes. Although this view is under debate, the diazotrophs responsible for this activity have still not been investigated in the open sea. In this study, we characterised the surface distribution and species richness of unice...
