A quality control procedure for long-term series of daily precipitation data in a semiarid environment
(2022-05-25)
Article
Open AccessThe availability of quality precipitation records in the current climate situation is of great importance in the scientifctechnical feld but also for the public institutions that manage the meteorological networks. This ... -
Análisis espectral del contenido de agua en suelos no saturados
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-07-20)
Master thesis
Open AccessLa cantidad de agua presente en los suelos no saturados experimenta variaciones significativas a lo largo del tiempo debido. Esta variación obedece a los flujos entrantes y salientes, ya sea por escorrentía, lluvias o ... -
Comparing precision lysimeter rainfall measurements against rain gauges in a coastal dune belt, Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Article
Open AccessPrecipitation measurements are performed mostly by simple automatic rain gauges installed at a certain level above the ground surface, but these methods are often affected by significant measurement errors due to the ... -
Determining the anthropogenic greenhouse gas contribution to the observed intensification of extreme precipitation
(Wiley, 2020)
Article
Open AccessThis study conducts a detection and attribution analysis of the observed changes in extreme precipitation during 1951–2015. Observed and CMIP6 multimodel simulated changes in annual maximum daily and consecutive 5‐day ... -
Experimental campaign for the characterization of precipitation in a complex terrain site using high resolution observations
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2024-06-01)
Article
Open AccessPrecipitation has an effect on wind power at several levels. It affects the wind current, blade status, wake development and power production. Power production is affected by the harmful effect of precipitation on the ... -
Fire monitoring with satellite and UAV imagery
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016)
Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessWildfires are of major concern now days because, even though they have also a natural role, they have negative impacts in environmental, economic and social terms. The main purposes of this project are the study, combination, ... -
Intercomparison of annual precipitation indices and extremes over global land areas from in situ, space-based and reanalysis products
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)
Article
Open AccessA range of in situ, satellite and reanalysis products on a common daily 1° × 1° latitude/longitude grid were extracted from the Frequent Rainfall Observations on Grids database to help facilitate intercomparison and analysis ... -
Multiple characteristics of precipitation inferred from wind profiler radar Doppler spectra
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-10-09)
Article
Open AccessA methodology to process radar wind profiler Doppler spectra is presented and implemented for an UHF Degreane PCL1300 system. First, double peak signal detection is conducted at each height level and, then, vertical ... -
On the convenience of the use of seasonal and monthly climatic indices in correlation studies
(Associação Portuguesa de Meteorologia e Geofísica, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyModerately extreme rainfall is usually characterized by a set of standardized indicators, the ETCCDI precipitation indices, useful to compare climate changes on a global scale. These indices quantify information to reflect ... -
Precipitation type classification of micro rain radar data using an improved doppler spectral processing methodology
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-12-16)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis 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 ... -
Quality control process of the daily rainfall series available in Catalonia from 1855 to the present
(2019-08-01)
Article
Open AccessThe quality control of weather data is a necessity and a responsibility of meteorological services that store, distribute, and use these data. In the present work, a newly designed quality control procedure for daily ... -
Vertical structure and microphysical observations of winter precipitation in an inner valley during the Cerdanya-2017 field campaign
(2021-12-15)
Article
Open AccessPrecipitations processes at windward and leeward sides of the mountains have been object of study for many decades. Instead, inner mountain valleys, where usually most mountain population lives, have received considerably ... -
Weather regimes linked to daily precipitation anomalies in Northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
Article
Open AccessNorthern Chile is one of the most arid regions in the world, with precipitation mainly occurring during austral summer, between December and April. The aim of this study is to classify the main weather regimes derived from ...
