      Article
      Accés obert
      Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) modulates El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dynamics. Here, we explore the effect of warm (AMV+) and cold (AMV-) AMV conditions on the austral summer teleconnection of ENSO to ...

    • Bias correction and downscaling of future RCM precipitation projections using a MOS-Analog technique

      Article
      Accés obert
      In this study we assess the suitability of a recently introduced analog-based Model Output Statistics (MOS) downscaling method (referred to as MOS-Analog) for climate change studies and compare the results with a quantile ...

    • Changes in flood damage with global warming on the eastern coast of Spain 

      Cortés Simo, María; Turco, Marco; Ward, Philip J.; Sánchez Espigares, Josep Anton; Alfieri, Lorenzo; Llasat Botija, Carmen (2019-12-18)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Flooding is one of the main natural hazards in the world and causes huge economic and human impacts. Assessing the flood damage in the Mediterranean region is of great importance, especially because of its large vulnerability ...

    • Climate drivers of the 2017 devastating fires in Portugal 

      Turco, Marco; Jerez, Sonia; Augusto, Sofia; Tarín Carrasco, Patricia; Ratola, Nuno; Jiménez Guerrero, Pedro; Trigo, Ricardo M. (Springer Nature, 2019)
      Article
      Accés obert
      A record 500,000 hectares burned in Portugal during the extreme wildfire season of 2017, with more than 120 human lives lost. Here we analyse the climatic factors responsible for the burned area (BA) from June to October ...

    • Land-surface initialisation improves seasonal climate prediction skill for maize yield forecast 

      Ceglar, Andrej; Toreti, Andrea; Prodhomme, Chloe; Zampieri, Matteo; Turco, Marco; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01-22)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Seasonal crop yield forecasting represents an important source of information to maintain market stability, minimise socio-economic impacts of crop losses and guarantee humanitarian food assistance, while it fosters the ...

    • On the key role of droughts in the dynamics of summer fires in Mediterranean Europe 

      Turco, Marco; Hardenberg, Jost von; AghaKouchak, Amir; Llasat, Maria C.; Provenzale, Antonello; Trigo, Ricardo M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-06)
      Article
      Accés obert
