Reviews
From the reviews:
"An overview of the large-scale aspects of the climate in Mediterranean is presented … . The book is written, structured and produced well, with good, clear tables, maps and graphs and a detailed reference list. It is a useful source book for the Mediterranean climate studies and is recommended for such studies." (Pavlos Kassomenos, International Journal of Climatology, Vol. 26 (7), 2006)
"It is well-known that the Mediterranean climate is influenced by the subtropical high pressure zone in summer (pronounced dryness), and the mid-latitude westerlies in winter (rainy season). … is useful for all scientists and students interested in the characteristics and variability of Mediterranean climate and its impacts. The range of interdisciplinary coverage is remarkable, the quality of text and figure reproduction is good quality … ." (C. –D. Schönwiese, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 12 (5), 2003)
