A large number of intense cyclones occur every year in the Mediterranean basin, one of the
climate change hotspots. Producing a broad range of severe socio-economic and …

Sea spray aerosols (SSA) are important contributors to the global aerosol load, and they
have a significant impact on the global climate system and chemical processes. To better …

Marine assets including ships and offshore structures are subject to ice accretion while
operating in cold environments. To assess the risk associated with the ice accretion and to …

A hydrometeorological forecasting system has been operating at the Institute of Marine
Biological Resources and Inland Waters (IMBRIW) of the Hellenic Centre for Marine …

Since 2018, the Aeolus satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) acquires wind HLOS
(horizontal line-of-sight) profiles throughout the troposphere and up to the lower …

Default aerosol extinction coefficient profiles are commonly used instead of measured
profiles in radiative transfer modeling, increasing the uncertainties in the simulations. The …

This chapter aims to bring attention to the origins of air pollution. Understanding the sources
of air pollution is vital for grasping the intricate connections between human actions, natural …

Flash floods, among the most destructive natural hazards, are commonly studied as to their
catastrophic power in terms of fatalities, infrastructure damages and economic losses. A …

Sea spray, originating from wave breaking under high wind conditions, can significantly
affect turbulent heat fluxes at the air–sea interface. Even though polar lows (PLs) can …

Accurate modelling of air-sea processes is essential for reliable forecasts of Mediterranean
tropical-like cyclones (also known as “Medicanes”). Medicanes occasionally develop in the …
