Ciclo di seminari CNR-ISAC presso UNIBO-DIFA

intestazione locandina

Il CNR-ISAC è tra gli organizzatori insieme al Gruppo di Fisica dell’Atmosfera del Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia dell’Università di Bologna e l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia di un ciclo di seminari rivolti agli studenti del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fisica del Sistema Terra. Tali seminari hanno come scopo quello di stimolare la curiosità degli studenti verso nuove e recenti attività di ricerca.

When in a gondola we went to battle

A gondola of the assault type (inspired by Norman-Viking pirate ships) built from 1509 until the end of the 17th century. (from illustrations by Jacopo Franco (1610) in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice)

In the 16th century, the need to defend itself and maintain dominance over the territories of northern Italy led the Serenissima government to transform the vessel into an agile means of defence, equipped with two rostrums to sink enemy ships. There are few documentary sources that reveal this process of war adaptation, which was subjected to a veritable state secret throughout the century. This is revealed by a study by CNR-Isac published in the journal 'Méditerranée - Journal of Mediterranean Geography.

Extreme events in climate: the role of variability

Temperature changes

Published on Nature Communications a new study by two ISAC-CNR Bologna researchers, Claudia Simolo and Susanna Corti. The study provides new elements for understanding the complex behavior of extreme events in present and future climate, evidencing key factors for their intensification. Research identifies temperature variability as a key factor for the frequency and intensity of such events.

Uno sguardo dentro le nubi: IL CNR ISAC partecipa alla prima campagna sperimentale in Italia con profilatori radar

profilatori Radar AQ

È in corso di svolgimento a L’Aquila una campagna sperimentale, la prima del suo genere in Italia, per la realizzazione di misure innovative per lo studio dell’evoluzione delle nubi, dalla genesi fino agli stadi precipitativi (un esempio è in Figura 1).
