Accés restringit per decisió de l'autorTransient luminous events (TLE) are electrical phenomena occurring between the ionosphere and the tops of thunderstorms. First discovered in 1989, the family of TLE now consists of different members: sprites, sprite ... -
On the observed connection between Arctic sea ice and Eurasian snow in relation to the winter North Atlantic Oscillation
Santolaria-Otín, María; García Serrano, Javier; Ménégoz, Martin; Bech, Joan (IOP Publishing, 2020)
Article
Accés obertSea ice concentration (SIC) in the eastern Arctic and snow cover extent (SCE) over central Eurasia in late autumn have been proposed as potential predictors of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Here, maximum ... -
Precipitation type classification of micro rain radar data using an improved doppler spectral processing methodology
Garcia Benadí, Albert; Bech, Joan; González Herrero, Sergi; Udina, Mireia; Codina Sánchez, Bernat; Georgis, Jean-François (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-12-16)
Capítol de llibre
Accés obertThis paper describes a methodology for processing spectral raw data from Micro Rain Radar (MRR), a K-band vertically pointing Doppler radar designed to observe precipitation profiles. The objective is to provide a set of ... -

Skill in nowcasting high-impact heavy precipitation events
Bech, Joan; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc (2014)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertThe objective of this study is to assess the skill of a precipitation nowcasting (very short range forecasting) system, with particular emphasis on hig-impact Heavy Precipitation Events (HPE). A threshold amount of 20 mm ... -
Stratiform and convective rain classification using machine learning models and micro rain radar
Ghada, Wael; Casellas Masana, Enric; Herbinger, Julia; Garcia Benadí, Albert; Bothmann, Ludwig; Estrella, Nicole; Bech, Joan; Menzel, Annette (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-09-13)
Article
Accés obertRain type classification into convective and stratiform is an essential step required to improve quantitative precipitation estimations by remote sensing instruments. Previous studies with Micro Rain Radar (MRR) measurements ... -
