Playa systems are driven by evaporation processes, yet the mechanisms by which
evaporation occurs through playa salt crusts are still poorly understood. In this study we …

An energy balance model run on a monthly time step for 800 years was developed to predict
the future level, areal extent and temperature of the Dead Sea under different scenarios of …

An analytic procedure is presented to investigate the response of temperature in and
evaporation from saline solutions whose activity coefficients are subject to dynamic …

Despite potential evaporation rates in excess of the local precipitation, dry climates often
support saline lakes through groundwater inputs of water and associated solutes. These …

Thermal comfort is usually calculated using discrete point measurements. This procedure is
not suitable to study thermal comfort for inhabited areas with rugged terrains where climate …

The sensitivity of evaporation from saline solutions resulting from a variation in their
salinity/activity coefficients (β) is investigated. The calculations are based on a theoretically …

Agricultural drought in a typical semiarid Mediterranean environment is investigated during
the growing seasons of 1997 through 2020 using a combination of optical and thermal …

The annual cycle of the Dead Sea surface temperature was investigated using band 10
onboard Landsat 8 during 2017–2018 and thermodynamic concepts. Retrieved Dead Sea …

This paper presents a new formulation which connects the variations in evaporation among
adjacent shallow saline solutions to the differences in their surface temperatures. The …

The eastern Mediterranean has been experiencing aridification and a warming trend during
the past two decades which could bring about land degradation. Physical and biophysical …
