More Saharan dust is expected across the central and eastern Mediterranean and southeastern Europe over the next few days. In particular, dense Saharan dust is again expected across Greece on Sunday. See day by day outlooks below. The active pattern with successive cutoff lows in the central Mediterranean continues. More Saharan dust will be pushed into the central and eastern Mediterranean and also into southeastern Europe. Thursday produced some extreme dust concentrations, particularly over Crete island. This dust cloud will gradually move eastwards over the next two days, affecting Turkey, Cyprus and the Middle East, while new dust is again pushed into central and eastern Mediterranean and southeastern Europe. Friday, March 23 A belt of dense Saharan dust will still

Euroopa tippülikoolide võrgustik The Guild teatas tänases avalduses, et kutsub Euroopa Komisjoni, Euroopa Parlamenti ja Euroopa Nõukogu üles leidma järgmises mitmeaastases finantsraamistikus teadus-, innovatsiooni- ja haridusrahastuse jaoks senisest kaks korda suuremat summat.

Stipendiumiprogramm noorteadlastele Saksa Keskkonnafond (DBU) võimaldab stipendiume enesetäiendamiseks Saksamaal. Stipendiumi eesmärgiks on tõsta Kesk- ja Ida-Euroopa keskkonnateemadega seotud inimeste kutsealast kvalifikatsiooni ja aidata kaasa keskkonnaprobleemide lahendamisele. 6-12 kuuline stipendium määratakse töötamiseks ning praktiseerimiseks Saksamaa ülikoolides, uurimisasutustes, ettevõtetes, ministeeriumides, organisatsioonides. Stipendiumi ei ole võimalik kasutada eesmärgiga kaitsta doktoritööd Saksamaa ülikoolides. Taotlusi oodatakse magistrantidelt, doktorantidelt, noorteadlastelt, inseneridelt, juristidelt jt, kes on seotud keskkonna ja looduskaitse valdkondadega Eestis või Euroopa Liidus.

The coast of Kvarner, Croatia will be affected by intense Bura winds, gusting up to 150-170 km/h, locally likely approaching 200 km/h. Peak strength tonight and tomorrow morning. The same cutoff low over the central Mediterranean that is choking Crete in thick Saharan dust and causing intense snowfall in southern Italy is also causing intense Bura winds in Croatia. Bura is an intense downslope (catabatic) northeasterly wind along the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea. It frequently reaches near-hurricane strenghts, gusting up to nearly and sometimes well over 200 km/h. Expect peak wind gusts along the coast of Kvarner to reach 150-170 km/h, and may locally approach 200 km/h. Peak wind gusts along the NE coast of the Adriatic Sea

A deep cyclone is expected to develop in the Bay of Biscay tomorrow, March 22. The system will be over open sea while at its strongest, but it is expected to affect northern Spain with winds gusting up to 120-140 km/h, higher at higher elevations along the coastal area. Map: Wxcharts.eu – ARPEGE model. The system will form early on Friday morning (March 23), deepening to likely below 980 mbar central pressure by mid afternoon. Peak wind gusts indicated by various models are in 170-200 km/h range, however, these will be far out over the open sea. The system will then move southeastward and affect the coast of Spain late on Friday and early on Saturday. Peak wind gusts will

The eastern Mediterranean, in particular Crete island, is under extreme effects of warm southerly winds pushing enormous amounts of Saharan dust – and hot air – northwards. The island is nearly choking in dust. As expected, the cutoff low in the central Mediterranean is pushing enormous amounts of Saharan dust into the eastern-central Mediterranean. Strong Scirocco winds are blowing dust from Lybia towards Greece and the Aegean region.
