These results emphasize the potential influence of the cyclone activity on the carbon budget of the Mediterranean Sea
enjoy the reading!
🎆these cyclones mostly originate within the Mediterranean region and are usually deeper, bigger in terms of size and characterized by a stronger circulation with respect to the systems that usually cross the region.
🎇the probability to detect an extra-tropical cyclone at a fixed distance from the location of the events increases with the intensity of the sin event that means that that the larger the event's magnitude, the higher the probability.
🎆these events are driven by large-scale atmospheric configurations that produce stronger-than-average wind speed and colder-than-average 2 m and sea surface temperature patterns in the region.
First, high CO2 sink events are identified using classical extreme event approach with fixed threshold (95p) based on the CO2 daily flux distribution. Then we found that:
available for the Mediterranean Sea to investigate the variability of the winter sink of CO2 in the Mediterranean and its relation with synoptic atmospheric features crossing the region in the period 1999–2020.
In this work we combined state-of-the-art ocean and atmospheric reanalyses and observational data

Glad to share my newly publication on links between #cyclones 🌀🌀 and CO2 sink in the #Mediterranean #Sea

ensuring scientific rigor, technical robustness, and the global accessibility of data.
building on the #CORDEX-CMIP6 framework while expanding to incorporate new model components and scientific priorities. Happy for having the possibility to play in the future a role in shaping the #CORDEX contribution to #CMIP7, 2/3
Glad to share that I have been selected as member of the next #CORDEX Task Team on #CORDEX-CMIP7 Protocol and Infrastructure (TTPI). The #CORDEX TTPI is in charge of defining the experimental protocol and technical documentation for the new #CORDEX-CMIP7 experiment, 1/3
On a local scale diversity within a specific community is dependent on the availability of the habitat, while the diversity among communities is influenced by changes in their spatial configuration
Enjoy the reading ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Depending on the area of the basin, the work has shown that the habitats of two species will shrink with a decrease in the biodiversity with the same communties and an increase of the diversity of the species of different communities.
In this work physical and biogeochemical models have been used to simulate how future changes in the distribution of two species Posidonia oceanica e Cymodocea nodosa will affect marine communities in the Mediterranean Sea and their composition.
Climate change is not only changing the frequency of extreme events but it is also dramatically affecting marine communities, their distribution and composition in the Mediterranean region.
Glad to share a new paper that I co-authored with my colleagues from OGS.

Sea:
➡️ a westward branch toward the Gulf of Taranto, contributing to the reversal of the Northern Ionian Gyre;
➡️ a southward branch toward the Kerkyra–Kefalonia Valley, directly ventilating the deep Hellenic Trench and playing a key role in deep-water renewal. 4/5

The analysis of this huge amount of data has shown that dense waters formed in the Adriatic Sea followed two distinct pathways once they flow through the Otranto strait into the Ionian 3/5
In this work, the data from the Adriatic Observatory Network has been employed to investigate the dynamics and processes of the intense dense water formation events which take place in the Adriatic during the harsh winter 2016–2017 2/5
Not only a modeller..
Glad to share a new article where I’m co-author:
“A multi observation analysis of the 2017 dense water formation events: climate change, bottom density currents and Adriatic-Ionian Sea circulation (Mediterranean Sea)” 1/5

Like in the Tropics, CYCLOPs pose a significant threat and forecast challenge for islands and coastal regions, and the likely effects of climate change on the systems should be considered
although they use #potential #intensity #locally #generated in the course of their development instead using that one present in the #pre-#storm #environment
are analyzed showing that these systems (collectively identified in the manuscript as #CYCLOPs) have morphologies and structures similar to #tropical #transitioning #cyclones
Here several cases of cyclonic #storms resembling #tropical #cyclones such as :
▶️ #medicanes
▶️ #polar #lows
▶️#subtropical #cyclones
▶️#Kona #storms
▶️some cases of #East #Coast #Lows)
Delighted to share a newly #publication in #Weather and #Climate #Dynamics led by K. Emmanuel (#MIT) where I have been listed as co-author with several colleagues that I met during the #Tropicana initiative in #Paris the last year.
This study shows that #Indian #Ocean #variability may influence the early #winter #weather in #Europe and in the #Mediterranean and this can find significant application in improving #sub-#seasonal to #seasonal #forecasts in the area. 5/5
