A new parameter is introduced: the lightning potential index (LPI), which is a measure of the potential for charge generation and separation that leads to lightning flashes in convective thunderstorms. The LPI is calculated within the charge separation region of clouds between 0 C and 20 C, where the noninductive mechanism involving collisions of ice and graupel particles in the presence of supercooled water is most effective. As shown in several case studies using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with explicit microphysics, the LPI is highly correlated with observed lightning. It is suggested that the LPI may be a useful parameter for predicting lightning as well as a tool for improving weather forecasting of convective storms and heavy rainfall.

The NW Mediterranean region experiences every year heavy rainfall and flash floods that occasionally produce catastrophic damages. Less frequent are floods that affect large regions. Although a large number of databases devoted exclusively to floods or considering all kind of natural hazards do exist, usually they only record catastrophic flood events. This paper deals with the new flood database that is being developed within the framework of HYMEX project. Results are focused on four regions representative of the NW sector of Mediterranean Europe: Catalonia, Spain; the Balearic Islands, Spain; Calabria, Italy; and Languedoc-Roussillon, Midi-Pyrenées and PACA, France. The common available 30-yr period starts in 1981 and ends in 2010. The paper shows the database structure and criteria, the comparison with other flood databases, some statistics on spatial and temporal distribution, and an identification of the most important events. The paper also provides a table that includes the date and affected region of all the catastrophic events identified in the regions of study, in order to make this information available for all audiences.
Els antecedents de la crisi de l'estat liberal a Espanya i a Itàlia: una visió comparada (1875-1895)
Resumo:
The author proposes a comparative study in the frame of a macroarea formed by the south European countries. He points out the characteristics and difficulties of the liberal state establishment in the Mediterranean countries. At the same time he underlines the new importance of the intellectuals roll as one of the main consequences of that crisis.

No es exagerado afirmar que, en las últimas décadas, los estudios dedicados a la cultura material de la antigüedad tardía y, en particular, a sus producciones cerámicas, han experimentado un desarrollo acelerado. Este fenómeno se ha traducido en una auténtica explosión de títulos que, con diversa extensión y profundidad, abarcan todas las posibilidades de análisis: desde las monografías de excavación, en las que se describen los repertorios asociados a las formas de vida y trabajo de un asentamiento, hasta las síntesis regionales que abordan cuestiones relacionadas con los mecanismos económicos, culturales y políticos que impulsaron la creación de unos circuitos de intercambio de alcance mediterráneo.

Même si les données disponibles pour le Gravettien méditerranéen ibérique sont réduites et dans des contextes stratigraphiques mal définis, nous présentons dans ce travail les révisions de quelques sites majeurs (Reclau Viver, l"Arbreda, Parpalló, Malladetes, Beneito et Cendres ainsi que de quelques autres gisements. La vision globale du Gravettien méditerranéen ibérique nous montre, dans la période ancienne, une faible présence mais une industrie lithique et osseuse très classique est observée dans les phases moyenne et finale de la période.

Leaf litter inputs and retention play an important role in ecosystem functioning in forested streams. We examined colonization of leaves by microbes (bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) and fauna in Fuirosos, an intermittent forested Mediterranean stream. Black poplar (Populus nigra) and plane (Platanus acerifolia) leaf packs were placed in the stream for 4 mo. We measured the biomasses and calculated the densities of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, meiofauna, and macroinvertebrates to determine their dynamics and potential interactions throughout the colonization process. Colonization was strongly correlated with hydrological variability (defined mainly by water temperature and discharge). The 1st week of colonization was characterized by hydrological stability and warm water temperatures, and allocation of C from microbial to invertebrate compartments on the leaf packs was rapid. Clumps of fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) were retained by the leaf packs, and enhanced rapid colonization by microfauna and meiofaunal collector-gatherers (ostracods and copepods). After 2 wk, an autumnal flood caused a 20-fold increase in water flow. Higher discharge and lower water temperature caused FPOM-related fauna to drift away from the packs and modified the subsequent colonization sequence. Fungi showed the highest biomass, with similar values to those recorded at the beginning of the experiment. After 70 d of postflood colonization, fungi decreased to nearly 40% of the total C in the leaf packs, whereas invertebrates became more abundant and accounted for 60% of the C. Natural flood occurrence in Mediterranean streams could be a key factor in the colonization and processing of organic matter.

Se describen tres tipos principales de acumulaciones salinas a partir de la interpretación de los perfiles de sísmica de reflexión de las campañas ENIEPSA-MAP-77 (1977) y WESTERN GEOPHYSICAL COMPANY OF AMERICA-MEDS (1973) en el sector norte del surco de Valencia. Los principales tipos de estructuras salinas son rollers de sal, almohadillas y diapiros que se disponen en tres cinturones paralelos al límite de la sal messiniense.

En aquest article es revisen els components de la fertilitat dels sòls mediterramis i es discuteix les seves característiques generals, així com la suposada oligotrofia que sovint se'ls ha atribuït. La tipologia d'aquests sòls i els cicles del N i P presenten alguns trets comuns que vénen determinats per trobar-se en n règim de clima mediterrani, tanmateix existeixen diferències remarcables que es relacionen, sobretot, amb el tipus de roca mare i que expliquen les diferències sovint atribuïdes als sòls de les cinc regions mediterrànies
