High-impact floods and flash floods in Mediterranean countries: the FLASH preliminary database
Maria Carmen Llasat,Montserrat Llasat-Botija,M. A. Prat,Federico Porcù,Colin Price,A. Mugnai,Konstantinos Lagouvardos,Vassiliki Kotroni,D. Katsanos,Silas Michaelides,Yoav Yair,K. Savvidou,K. Nicolaides +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary analysis of flood risk in Mediterranean countries, conducted within the framework of the FLASH European Project, is presented, where all flood events recorded between 1990 and 2006 in the Mediterranean region have been included in the study.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Long‐Range transport of air pollutants from Europe to Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined use of an atmospheric and a Lagrangian dispersion model was used for air pollution transport from southern Europe towards Africa, where air pollutants released from sources located in southern Europe were found in the entire tropospheric region over North Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling framework for estimating impacts of climate change on electricity demand at regional level: Case of Greece
S. Mirasgedis,Y. Sarafidis,E. Georgopoulou,Vassiliki Kotroni,Konstantinos Lagouvardos,D.P. Lalas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a regional climate model, PRECIS, has been used to predict future climatic conditions under different emissions scenarios (namely A2 and B2 of the IPCC special report on emissions scenarios) as an input to a multiple regression model of the sensitivity of electricity demand in the Greek interconnected power system to climate and socio-economic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The automatic weather stations NOANN network of the National Observatory of Athens: operation and database
Konstantinos Lagouvardos,Vassiliki Kotroni,Antonis Bezes,I. Koletsis,Theodora Kopania,Spyridon Lykoudis,N. Mazarakis,Katerina Papagiannaki,S. Vougioukas +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide information about the logistics of this network, including real-time applications of the collected data as well as information on the quality control protocols, the construction of the station data and metadata repository and the means through which the data are made available to users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the potential for lightning activity in Mediterranean storms based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model dynamic and microphysical fields
Yoav Yair,Barry Lynn,Colin Price,Vassiliki Kotroni,Konstantinos Lagouvardos,Efrat Morin,A. Mugnai,Maria Carmen Llasat +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Lightning Potential Index (LPI) is calculated within the charge separation region of clouds between 0°C and −20°C, where the non-inductive mechanism involving collisions of ice and graupel particles in the presence of supercooled water is most effective.
