  • Observations of Bora Events Over the Adriatic Sea and Black Sea by Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
    1150 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 137 Observations of Bora Events over the Adriatic Sea and Black Sea by Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar WERNER ALPERS Institute of Oceanography, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany ANDREI IVANOV P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia JOCHEN HORSTMANN* GKSS Research Center, Geesthacht, Germany (Manuscript received 20 February 2008, in final form 15 September 2008) ABSTRACT Bora events over the Adriatic Sea and Black Sea are investigated by using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired by the advanced SAR (ASAR) on board the European satellite Envisat.Itisshown that the sea surface roughness patterns associated with bora events, which are captured by SAR, yield information on the finescale structure of the bora wind field that cannot be obtained by other spaceborne instruments. In particular, SAR is capable of resolving 1) bora-induced wind jets and wakes that are organized in bands normal to the coastline, 2) atmospheric gravity waves, and 3) boundaries between the bora wind fields and ambient wind fields. Quantitative information on the sea surface wind field is extracted from the Envisat ASAR images by inferring the wind direction from wind-induced streaks visible on SAR images and by using the C-band wind scatterometer model CMOD_IFR2 to convert normalized cross sections into wind speeds. It is argued that spaceborne SAR images acquired over the east coasts of the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea are ideal means to validate and improve mesoscale atmospheric models simulating bora events. 1. Introduction co.uk/reports/wind/The-Bora.htm). In Europe, strong bora winds are encountered at 1) the east coast of the Bora winds are regional downslope winds, where cold Adriatic Sea, where they are called Adriatic bora, and 2) air is pushed over a coastal mountain range due to the the east coast of the Black Sea, where they are called presence of a high pressure gradient or by the passage of Novorossiyskaya bora because they are encountered near a cold front over the mountain range.

Successivamente a causa del vento, alcuni tizzoni oltrepassano la linea ferroviaria innescando la seconda parte dell’incendio che si propaga con rapidità favorito, questa volta, dal vento. • La zona interessata dall’incendio 1a è particolarmente carente di viabilità forestale.

Views expressed are those of the authors only. FP7 BeWater D4.3: Four River Basin Adaptation Plans 168 Preface Climate change projections for the Mediterranean region estimate an increase in water scarcity and drought episodes, as well as more frequent floods and other extreme weather events . There is a high likelihood that these events will evoke substantial socio-economic losses and negative environmental impacts if no action is taken to support territories’ adaptation efforts. Furthermore, changes in population and land use, such as urban expansion or the abandonment or intensification of agriculture, also affect the response of territories to these events. In this context, sustainable water management strategies are urgently needed as they will enhance the resilience of socio-ecological systems, referring both to society and the environment. Current water management practices focus on the river basin level as the natural geographical and hydrological unit. Resilient water management strategies focusing on the river basin can respond to pressures within this unit in an appropriate way, while trying to minimize disruptions to the socio- ecological systems.

  • Study: Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western
    STUDY Requested by the AFET committee Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union EN PE 653.621 - February 2021 DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them ABSTRACT Disinformation is an endemic and ubiquitous part of politics throughout the Western Balkans, without exception. A mapping of the disinformation and counter-disinformation landscapes in the region in the period from 2018 through 2020 reveals three key disinformation challenges: external challenges to EU credibility; disinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact of disinformation on elections and referenda. While foreign actors feature prominently – chiefly Russia, but also China, Turkey, and other countries in and near the region – the bulk of disinformation in the Western Balkans is produced and disseminated by domestic actors for domestic purposes. Further, disinformation (and information disorder more broadly) is a symptom of social and political disorder, rather than the cause. As a result, the European Union should focus on the role that it can play in bolstering the quality of democracy and governance in the Western Balkans, as the most powerful potential bulwark against disinformation.

GIRAUD ( ) (1) LAPC, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100029, China (2) Istituto di Cosmogeofisica del CNR - Torino, Italy (ricevuto il 28 Febbraio 2000; approvato il 21 Marzo 2000) Summary. — One case of bora that burst out on the 4th of January 1995 has been simulated with a regional atmospheric model (RAMS). This was a typical bora with a stationary cyclone that remained over southern Adriatic Sea during the whole episode of bora. Some common features of bora such as upstream acceleration, strong descent within bora layer and turbulent zone just downstream of the mountain have been demonstrated by the model simulation. The simulation of the bora wind speed and direction showed good agreement with the observation in Trieste (Italy). PACS 92.10.Fj – Dynamics of the upper ocean. PACS 92.10.Kp – Sea-air energy exchange processes. PACS 92.60.Gn – Winds and their effects. 1. – Introduction Bora has been studied by scientists for more than one hundred years. The earliest studies on bora were mostly descriptive. Bora was described as a cold and dry wind that was highly influenced by the local topography [1-3]. Later, some special field observations and wind tunnel experiments were performed and since then bora started to be considered as a fall wind [4].
