A conceptual framework to quantify the influence of convective boundary layer development on carbon dioxide mixing ratios
(2012-03-26)
Article
Open AccessInterpretation of observed diurnal carbon dioxide (CO2) mixing ratios near the surface requires knowledge of the local dynamics of the planetary boundary layer. In this paper, we study the relationship between the boundary ... -
Aircraft clouds: from chemtrail pseudoscience to the science of contrails
(2018-04-03)
Article
Open AccessThe most frequent statements and arguments found in pseudoscience websites and forums supporting the existence of so-called aircraft chemtrails can be refuted with a scientific explanation of the processes resulting in the ... -

Analysis of the convective timescale during the major floods in the NE Iberian Peninsula since 1871
(2016)
Conference lecture
Open AccessFloods are the most severe natural hazard in the western Mediterranean basin. They cause most of the damages and most of the victims. Some of the selected floods caused more than one hundred casualties each and a large ... -
An intercomparison of mesoscale simulations during the Boundary Layer Late Afternoon and Sunset Turbulence (BLLAST) experimental field campaign
(2014)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe Convective (diurnal, CBL) and Stably stratified (nocturnal, SBL) Boundary Layers over land have been extensively observed and relatively successfully modeled. But the early morning transition, when the CBL emerges from ... -
Are the Pyrenees a barrier for the transport of birch (Betula) pollen from Central Europe to the Iberian Peninsula?
(2017-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThis work provides a first assessment of the possible barrier effect of the Pyrenees on the atmospheric transport of airborne pollen from Europe to the North of the Iberian Peninsula. Aerobiological data recorded in three ... -
A WRF simulation of an episode of contrails covering the entire sky
(2016-07-20)
Article
Open AccessOn 21 September 2012 the entire sky was covered by contrails over the Gulf of Lyon (NW of the Mediterranean basin). These clouds were well recorded by ground observers as well as by Meteosat imagery. The atmospheric ... -

Climatic characteristics of floods from the PREDIFLOOD Project Database, Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula), AD1033-2013
(2014)
Conference lecture
Open AccessStudy of flood events in long historical chronologies is common in different European basins. The main objective of these kind of studies is to describe climatic variability related to hydrometeorological events, but also ... -

Cold outbreaks at the mesoscale in the Western Mediterranean basin: from Raincells to rainbands
(2017-05-17)
Article
Open AccessThis paper investigates cold outbreaks that form offshore density currents within the whole mesoscale over the Western Mediterranean basin. Reflectivity radar and satellite images are used to detect clouds and precipitation ... -
Cold outbreaks from Mistral wind in the western mediterranean basin
(2017)
Conference report
Open AccessCold outbreaks over the western Mediterranean basin (WMB) associated to northern synoptic flows are investigated. Cold air entering into this region usually comes from the Gulf of Lion and is associated to synoptic northwesterly ... -
Countergradient heat flux observations during the evening transition period
(2014-09-03)
Article
Open AccessGradient-based turbulence models generally assume that the buoyancy flux ceases to introduce heat into the surface layer of the atmospheric boundary layer in temporal consonance with the gradient of the local virtual ... -
Determination of wind speed and associated loads over the sports facility collapsed during the severe windstorm of 24 January 2009 in Sant Boi de Llobregat (Barcelona)
(ACAM, 2011-06-23)
Article
Open AccessThe severe windstorm of 24 January 2009, caused by an explosive cyclogenesis, affected coastal and precoastal areas of the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, where damages were numerous and significant, both in urban areas ... -
Evolution of the turbulence during the afternoon transition of the convective boundary layer: a spectral analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)
Conference report
Open AccessThe transition from a well-mixed convective boundary layer to a residual layer overlying a stabilized nocturnal layer raises several issues, which remain difficult to address from both modeling and observational perspectives. ... -

Flash heat and flash cold phenomena in the Iberian Peninsula since 1900
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessRapid and sudden changes in air temperature can be classified as extreme events, having a risk for human activities, human health and ecosystems. Flash heat and flash cold events are investigated in the Iberian Peninsula ...
