One of the research activities carried out by the quot;Impact on Soil and Coastquot; division of CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change) concerns the impacts on territory monitoring activity and hydrological risk prevention.The activity purpose is identifying slide triggering factors...

This technical report describes the porting and performance evaluation activities performed on ORCA025 code, implementing the global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) OPA. The code, currently available and optimized on vector architectures, has been ported on HP XC6000 Itanium2 scalar...

The report focuses on the results of first laboratory experimental tests aimed to investigate the response of model slopes in granular soils subjected to artificial rainfall.The goal of the investigation is the assessment of the behaviour of representative slopes present in the part of the...

This technical report aims to describe numerical results obtained from seepage analyses concerning landslide event occurred in pyroclastic deposits of Nocera Inferiore (Sa) on March 4th, 2005. The analyses have been carried out using the finite element software SEEP/W (Geo-Slope International...

This technical report summarizes the SINTEX-F025 (CMCC-SXF025) model technical structure. CMCC-SXF025 is an Atmosphere Ocean General Circulation Model (AOGCM) developed at INGV-CMCC to perform global seasonal forecasting.This model is used to run special focus experiments in the framework of...

This study investigates the possible changes that the greenhouse global warming might generate in the characteristics of the tropical cyclones (TCs). To this aim, scenario climate simulations, performed with a fully coupled high-resolution global general circulation model, have been analyzed....

This technical report summarizes the SINTEX-G (INGV-SXG) model technical structure. INGV-SXG is an Atmosphere Ocean sea-ice General Circulation Model (AOGCM) developed at INGV with the aim of investigating the features and the mechanisms of theclimate variability and change.This model was used...

Southeast Asia is at a time one of the most vulnerable region to the impacts of a changing climate, with millions of its inhabitants still trapped in extreme poverty without access to energy and employed in climate-sensitive sectors, and, potentially, one of the world's biggest contributors to...

In this paper we developed and tested an integrated methodology for assessing direct and indirect economic impacts of flooding. The methodology combines a spatial analysis of damage to physical stocks with a general economic equilibrium approach using a regionally-calibrated (to Italy) version...
