Objective
THE FIRST STEP IS TO UNDERTAKE A QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF CLIMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS FROM DIFFERENT KINDS OF DATA. THE SECOND STEP IS TO RECONSTRUCT THE CLIMATIC FLUCTUATIONS ON A MESOSCALE.
THIS PROJECT INVOLVES THE ANALYSIS OF SERIES OF BOTH EXCEPTIONAL EVENT (EG SEVERE METEOROLOGICAL EPISODES OR NATURAL DISASTERS) AND CONTINUOUS DATA (EG TREE RINGS), THEIR COMPARISON AND INTEGRATION. IN PARTICULAR WE ARE RECONSTRUCTING: FREEZING OF THE RIVERS PO AND TIBER AND THE VENETIAN LAGOON FLOODS OF PO, TIBER THE STRONG SCIROCCO WIND CAUSING HIGHT WATER IN VENICE.
INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF MAJOR TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES ON WEATHER PATTERNS WILL BE USED TO ASSIST IN RECONSTRUCTING PAST PRESSURE PATTERNS AS MESOSCALE CIRCULATION. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE INFLUENCE OF LARGE MOUNTAIN CHAINS AND SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. THE ADVANCE AND RETREAT OF GLACIERS WILL BE CONSIDERED IN RELATION TO METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS (SPECIALLY SEASONAL TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION) AND CIRCULATION PATTERNS.).
PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO SOME PERIODS LIKE THE OPTIMUM IN THE TOMAN AND MEDIEVAL AGES IN THE LITTLE ICE AGE.
SEDIMENTARY EVIDENCE TOGETHER WITH ARCHEOLOGICAL DATING IS INTERPRETED AS SHOWING PARTICULAR PHASES OF CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS (FLOODS, SILTATION, SOIL EROSION).
IN THE MB THERE IS A LOT OF SERIES AF DATA NOT YET FULLY VALIDATED AND EXPLOTED, IE:
1.- INSTRUMENTAL METEOROLOGICAL SERIES (TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE) SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE 18TH CENTURY (EG PADUA, MILAN, ROME, AS WELL AS OTHER BROKEN SERIES IN OTHER SITES IN SOUTHERN EUROPE). THE INSTRUMENTAL SERIES ARE PRECIOUS FOR THE CALIBRATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TREE RING SERIES OF DIFFERENT SPECIES AND CLIMATIC FORCING.
2.- HISTORICAL SOURCES, IE DESCRIPTIONS OF EXTREME EVENTS FROM LITERARY SOURCES OR CHRONICLES (ANCIENT NEAR EAST, BIBLICAL, GREEK, LATIN CHRONICLERS ARE DIARIESW SINCE THE MIDDLE AGE)
3.- ICONOGRAPHIC SOURCES (IE PICTURES AND PHOTOS, ESPECIALLY FOR A DOCUMENTATION OF GLACIER ADVANCE AND RETREAT)
4.- ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOURCES AND SEDIMENTARY SEQUENCES.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
