Climate Modeling and Impacts (UTMEA-CLIM)
Modeling and Observing Regional Systems
UTMEA-CLIM Laboratory works on understanding and predicting climate
variability and change at the regional and global scale. Research
activities at UTMEA-CLIM have a specific focus over the Mediterranean.
Seventeen permanent scientists work in the Laboratory, the head of the
Laboratory is Paolo Ruti.
Friends and colleagues of Volfango Rupolo still miss him.
Environmental monitoring to detect changes in the sea state, ocean color, and air-sea fields
Development and use of a very high resolution forecast model of the Tyrrhenian sea circulation
Climate variability and changes on regional scale - regional coupled system
Frontier research on global scale climate variability, predictability and forecasts' application
Data produced by UTMEA-CLIM is available in the following web sites:
- Tyrrhenian Sea circulation forecasting system daily updated
- Mediterranean Sea surface temperature "optimally interpolated" up to July 28, 2010 (las)
- Mediterranean Sea surface temperature "optimally interpolated" up to July 28, 2010 (gif)
- simulation of the Eastern Mediterranean Transet (EMT) 1988-1993 (las)
- data produced at ENEA within the Circe european project (las)
- lagrangian diagnostics numerical trajectories have been obtained systematically integrating numerical particles using the MFSPP eulerian field velocity.
- seasonal probability maps of dispersion lagrangian Trajectories have been used to build a data base of primary lagrangian statistics (probability maps of dispersion) as a function of season and of geographic position of relaese.
