OBJECTIVES: to describe the process of selecting and applying a shared conceptual model for the analysis of case studies designed to test the usefulness and validity of the Air and Health Atlas in supporting decision-making, in its current version and in its potential future deve...

Brief communication: Shared parameterisation for estimating snow water equivalent through cosmic ray neutron sensors in the Italian Alps

Abstract. We present a novel approach based on leveraging a shared parameterisation to derive snow water equivalent (SWE) with cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) probes. The network comprises 26 sites (1422–2901 ma.s.l.) in the Italian Alps. The parameterisation was defined by fit...

Classification of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Patients by Prospective Patient‐Recorded Symptoms: The @ IT .2020 Project

BACKGROUND: Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) has been so far classified according to frequency and severity by retrospective information based on the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) classification. Electronic symptom diaries (e-Diaries) are feasible tools to col...

Multi-model high-resolution analysis of Tropical-Like Cyclone Daniel with WRF and ICON: peculiarities and sensitivity to convection schemes

Abstract. Medicane Daniel (September 2023) featured a rapid transition from a baroclinic disturbance to a compact tropical-like vortex, challenging short-range prediction. This study delivers a side-by-side, high-resolution (∼2 km) assessment of Daniel using two state of the art...

Widespread thermophilization but weak link to climate warming in Europe’s summit plant communities

Abstract Recent changes in alpine vegetation are often attributed to climate warming, particularly community composition shifts towards more warmth-associated species, or thermophilization. Here we assess the link between thermophilization and warming across 53 European mountain...

Operational Multi-Source Data Fusion for High-Resolution LULC Mapping

High-resolution and regularly updatable land cover maps are essential for local-scale environmental monitoring, water resource management, and territorial governance, yet existing global and regional products fail to provide the spatial detail and thematic richness required for o...
