The surrounding region, with its subtropical climate and its physiography of littoral lowland, marshy rivers, and small lakes provides suitable conditions for rice production.
Rising some 3,000 feet (1,000 metres) or more along the western edge of the Deccan, the escarpment known as the Western Ghats traps the moisture of winds from the Arabian Sea, most notably during the southwest monsoon, creating a tropical monsoon climate along the narrow western littoral and depriving the Deccan of significant precipitation.
The new findings provided by this study are useful for the development of an effective early warning system that is based on climate data over an extended intertropical littoral zone.
Not only did Europe enjoy a benign climate with adequate rainfall, but the Mediterranean littoral, including the Middle East, apparently received considerably more moisture than it does today.
Areas of the Croatian Littoral further away from the coast enjoy a moderately warm and rainy oceanic climate (Cfb), similar to the continental climate of most inland regions of Croatia.
During the late Pleistocene, large tracts of coastal lowlands were exposed, while a colder, wetter climate and fluctuating marine conditions interacted with rapidly evolving littoral environments.
Climate change is predicted to increase storm activity, which will directly impact littoral areas.
Libya's climate is dominated by the hot arid Sahara, but it is moderated along the coastal littoral by the Mediterranean Sea.
Libya's climate is dominated by the hot, arid Sahara, but it is moderated along the coastal littoral by the Mediterranean Sea.
