Fog Research: A Review of Past Achievements and Future Perspectives
Ismail Gultepe,Robert Tardif,Silas Michaelides,Jan Cermak,Andreas Bott,Jörg Bendix,Mathias D. Müller,M. Pagowski,Bjarne Hansen,Gary P. Ellrod,W. Jacobs,G. Toth,Stewart G. Cober +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized past achievements related to the understanding of fog formation, development and decay, and in this respect, the analysis of observations and the development of forecasting models and remote sensing methods are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
The paradoxical increase of Mediterranean extreme daily rainfall in spite of decrease in total values
Pinhas Alpert,T. Ben-Gai,Anat Baharad,Yoav Benjamini,Daniel Yekutieli,M. Colacino,L. Diodato,C. Ramis,Víctor Homar,Romualdo Romero,Silas Michaelides,A. Manes +11 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rainfall Erosivity in Europe
Panos Panagos,Cristiano Ballabio,Pasquale Borrelli,Katrin Meusburger,Andreas Klik,Svetla Rousseva,Melita Perčec Tadić,Silas Michaelides,Michaela Hrabalíková,Preben Olsen,Juha Aalto,Mónika Lakatos,Anna Rymszewicz,Alexandru Dumitrescu,Santiago Beguería,Christine Alewell +15 more
TL;DR: The erosivity density (erosivity normalised to annual precipitation amounts) was the highest in Mediterranean regions which implies high risk for erosive events and floods, and Gaussian Process Regression has been used to interpolate the R-factor station values to a European rainfall erOSivity map at 1 km resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation: Measurement, remote sensing, climatology and modeling
Silas Michaelides,Vincenzo Levizzani,Emmanouil N. Anagnostou,Peter Bauer,Takis Kasparis,John E. Lane +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the current status and main outstanding issues related to precipitation forecasting are discussed, providing a basic structure for research coordination aimed at the improvement of modeling, observation and data assimilation applicable to global and regional scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of Ångström's and artificial neural networks' methodologies in estimating global solar radiation
TL;DR: Lack of sunshine duration measurements renders Angstrom’s approach inapplicable; hence the feasibility of applying the ANN models for the calculation of solar radiation in places where there is a lack of sunshineduration measurements is investigated.
