peer agreement (net): +2mediterranean regime / subtropical regime Explanation: "regime" is commonly used in hydrology the word precipitation or rainfall is normally omitted in English Dryland Rivers is the first text to focus on dryland channel networks and processes and presents a historical framework for research, discusses examples of current studies and evaluates contemporary modelling approaches. Emphasis is on the Mediterranean region, with comparisons to other dryland regimes, with differing degrees of aridity, and with seasonality that may differ from the **Mediterranean regime** of wet winters and dry summers. http://www.gettextbooks.com/isbn_0471491233.html From the hydrological point of view, both rivers have a typical Mediterranean regime, characterized by high flow variability, which is mainly controlled by the seasonal rainfall. http://www.socopse.se/download/18.764bd915124e8f2573d8000889... Both the Mojave Desert and the Central Valley fall under the Mediterranean regime of winter precipitation. http://www.natureali.org/KC_biogeography.htm Vegetation lifeforms of California and adjoining regions experienced different fates over the Cenozoic as the climate gradually cooled and precipitation shifted from year-round to a winter-wet mediterranean regime. http://earthsciences.ucr.edu/docs/chapter2.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-10 11:59:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, it should read Mediterranean, not mediterranean |
