Article
Open AccessExtreme storms registered by the urban rain gauge network installed and supported by CLABSA (Clavegueram de Barcelona S. A.) in Barcelona in the period 1994–2001 have been investigated. Eleven rain events presenting ... -
Analysis of spectra, wave grouping and long wave phenomena of real measured wind waves in coastal waters
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-06-16)
Master thesis
Open AccessReal coastal waves measured at 4 different locations in the world were analyzed in detail. Long travelled swell measured in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, wind swell from the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, short period ... -
Analysis of the electric field changes due to lightning during Catalonia thunderstorms in Summer 2003
(2004)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - author's decisionElectric fields related to lightning close to storms were measured in the Catalonian region (NE of Spain) in summer 2003. The aim of this campaign was the data collection to study the total electrical charge involved in ... -

Anàlisi extremal Bayessià de tempestes d'onatge a la costa catalana
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2008-07)
Minor thesis
Open AccessL’onatge és, sens dubte, un element clau en les fases de planificació, disseny, explotació i manteniment d’una obra marítima. El coneixement de les seves característiques a llarg termini permet a l’enginyer marítim la ... -
Atmospheric boundary layer height disambiguation using synergistic remote sensing observations: case examples from VORTEX-SE
(International Society for Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessSynergistic remote sensing of the atmosphere, combined with adaptive techniques, offers unprecedented opportunities to characterise the evolution of key atmospheric features such as the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). ... -
Characteristics of lightning flashes generating sprites above storms (i-DUST)
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
Conference report
Open AccessSprites are Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) that can extend vertically from 40 to 90 km and horizontally over several tens of km to form clusters of individual or multiple column or/and carrot-shaped luminous elements. ... -
Classifying compound coastal storm and heavy rainfall events in the north-western Spanish Mediterranean
(2021-06)
Article
Open AccessThe north-west (NW) Mediterranean coastal zone is a populous and well-developed area in which the impact of natural hazards like flash floods and coastal storms can result in frequent and significant damages. Although the ... -
Coastal wave storms: Observations and simulations in the NW Mediterranean
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-06-03)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe importance of improving wind-wave predictions for the NW Mediterranean coastal region makes it necessary to perform a study in-depth of wave generation and propagation mechanisms under sharp spatial and temporal ... -
Comparison between high-speed video recordings of lightning and the detections of the Catalan Lightning Location Network (XDDE)
(2010)
Conference lecture
Open AccessLightning detections of the Catalan Lightning Location Network (XDDE) are compared with high speed video recordings carried out in Spain during summer 2009. At that time the XDDE was composed by four sensors: two SAFIR 3000 ... -

Gravel deposit produced by a flash paleoflood in a succession of Quaternary terraces in the Plain of Vic (NE Iberian Peninsula)
(2016)
Conference lecture
Open AccessIn contrast with the abundance of studies of fluvial terraces, caused by river dynamics, there are very few descriptions of alluvial deposits produced by flash floods and mass movements. This ... -
How good are symmetric triangular synthetic storms to represent real events for coastal hazard modelling
(2020-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal risk assessments rely on proper quantification of storm-induced erosion and flooding, and often involve calculations via numerical models. When the real time-series data of a storm are not available as forcing ... -
