TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct a coherent study of the full-scale of daily rainfall categories over a relatively largesubtropical region- the Mediterranean- in order to assess whether this paradoxical behavior is real and its extent.

TL;DR: The Mediterranean region has many morphologic, geographical, historical, and societal characteristics, which make its climate scientifically interesting as mentioned in this paper, and the concept of Mediterranean climate is characterized by mild wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method is developed for computing the interactions among various factors influencing the atmospheric circulations, and numerical simulations can be utilized to obtain the pure contribution of any factor to any predicted field, as well as the contributions due to the mutual interactions among two or more factors.

TL;DR: Here it is demonstrated how measurements of the received signal level, which are made in a cellular network, provide reliable measurements for surface rainfall.

TL;DR: A thoroughly objective method for the definition, selection and tracing of Mediterranean region cyclones is presented in this paper, which is applied to the ECMWF 1982-1987 analyzed datasets to show monthly cyclone frequencies, cyclonic tracks and vertical variation of average relative vorticity.
