Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive review of dryland climates and their relationship to the physical environment, hydrology, and inhabitants. Chapters are divided into five major sections on background meteorology and climatology; the nature of dryland climates in relation to precipitation and hydrology; the climatology and climate dynamics of the major dryland regions on each continent; and life and change in the world's drylands. It includes key topics such as vegetation, geomorphology, desertification, micro-habitats, and adaptation to dryland environments. This interdisciplinary volume provides an extensive review of the primary literature (covering nearly 2000 references) and the conventional and satellite datasets that form key research tools for dryland climatology. Illustrated with over 300 author photographs, it presents a unique view of dryland climates for a broad spectrum of researchers, environmental professionals and advanced students in climatology, meteorology, geography, environment science, earth system science, ecology, hydrology and geomorphology.

Sommario/riassunto

Long description: MBMV ist der jährlich stattfindende Workshop der GMM/ITG/GI-Fachgruppen 3 und 4 und wurde 2019 vom 8.-9. April in Kaiserslautern organisiert.  Das Ziel des Workshops besteht darin, Experten aus Industrie und Forschung zusammenzubringen, um gemeinsam neue Trends, Ergebnisse und aktuelle Fragen auf dem Gebiet der Modellierung und der Verifikation von Schaltungen und Systemen zu diskutieren.  Der vorliegende Tagungsband ist eine ausgewählte Sammlung von 8 wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen und 8 weiteren Übersichtsvorträgen. Übersichtsvorträge berichten über bereits veröffentlichte Ergebnisse oder über noch unvollständige Arbeiten und werden als kurze Zusammenfassungen in diesem Tagungsband veröffentlicht. Wissenschaftliche Beiträge präsentieren neue Ergebnisse und werden zusätzlich als volle Beiträge in IEEE Xplore veröffentlicht.
