Storminess and Environmental Change Climate Forcing and Responses in the Mediterranean Region

Storminess and Environmental Change Climate Forcing and Responses in the Mediterranean Region / edited by Nazzareno Diodato, Gianni Bellocchi.

This book describes recent developments in the modeling of hydro-climatological processes in time and space. The topic brings together a wide range of disciplines, such as climatology, hydrology, geomorphology and ecology, with examples of problems and related modeling approaches. Parsimonious hydro...
