Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Mohamed Larbi Selassi Deputy Director of the National Meteorology, Morocco Welcome address (translated from French) WMO, WCRP, Medias-France and scientific institutions representatives, ladies and gentlemen, to thank WMO and MEDIAS-France, who have honoured us by I want first organizing the two workshops, climate indices in Africa and data assessment for global change research in the Mediterranean region, in Casablanca and I welcome all of you here in Morocco. It is with great pleasure that I open these two workshops on behalf of myself and on behalf of the Direction of the Meteorologie N ationale of Morocco. Climate change is becoming the focus of the international community because of its global scale and unpredictable effects, the numerous impacts it causes, its global feature and the complexity of the solutions that can mitigate its impacts. Global warming and the greenhouse effect became a subject of study at the international level since the United Nations Conference on the human environment that was held in Stockholm in 1972. The research and coordination efforts that have been made in this area have led to an 'International Scientific consensus'. High level meetings like those held in Toronto in 1988, in Lahaye in 1989 and in Geneva in 1990, did confirm the greenhouse threat and the emergency to treat it.…

8° , Original Pappband. 372 Seiten. This is the first volume in the series "Regional Climate Studies". It presents the analysis of climatological data from 500 years b.c. to the present day. It discusses climate variablity and its interaction with the biosphere in the Mediterranean area. Different approaches are applied to describe and interpret climate variability and to denote trends. Specific emphasis is given to variable water cycle which makes the book a prerequisite for all those concerned with the problem of desertification as well as the validation of climate models. The book adresses the role of remote sensing data to detect synergies throughout the Mediterranean basin and refers to recent marine research results. The second volume of the series will probably be published in February 2003. Introduction; Characteristics of the Mediterranean Environment; Past Climates and Vegetation in the Mediterranean Basin; The Complexity of the Mediterranean system; Contribution to the global carbon budged and Atmospheric Contamination; Water Resources and Vegetation; Indicators and Information Requirements for Combatting Desertification; Climate Changes in the Mediterranean Region - Physical Aspects and Effects on Agriculture; Development of Priority Climate Indices for Africa; Understanding the Relationship between Present and Future Climates. - Sehr guter Zustand PB3-21 3540438386 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 2000.…
