About this book
The book provides an updated description of climate variability in the Mediterranean basin, focusing on its strong inter-annual to decadal features. It describes both local physical processes responsible for these variability - such as changes in the surface properties and land use - and globalprocesses - such as changes in the large scale atmospheric circulation associated to global warming, NAO, tropical monsoon and ENSO. Regional climate change issues are also addressed.
