  • Influence of meteorological phenomena on worldwide aircraft accidents in the period 1967-2010 

    Mazón Bueso, Jordi; Rojas Gregorio, José Ignacio; Lozano, Miguel; Pino González, David; Prats Menéndez, Xavier; Miglietta, M.M. (2017-12-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Based on the information available in databases from relevant national and international organizations from 1967 to 2010, an Aviation Weather Accidents Database (AWAD) was built. According to the AWAD, the weather is ...
  • Effect of a positive sea surface temperature anomaly on a Mediterranean tornadic supercell 

    Miglietta, M.M.; Mazón Bueso, Jordi; Motola, Vicenzo; Passini, Antonello (Macmillan Publishers, 2017-10-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Extreme events represent a topic of paramount importance and a challenge for modelling investigations. Due to the need of high-resolution models, the study of severe localized convective phenomena is even more critical, ...
  • ULISES: an open source code for extrinsic calibrations and planview generations in coastal video monitoring systems 

    Simarro, Gonzalo; Ribas Prats, Francesca; Alvarez, Amaya; Guillén Aranda, Jorge; Chic, Oscar; Orfila, Alejandro (2017-09-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Video monitoring systems have become a powerful and low-cost tool in coastal studies. Extrinsic calibration of the cameras is compulsory to get quantitative information from the images. This paper presents an Open Source ...
  • Numerical simulations of a tornadic supercell over the Mediterranean 

    Mazón Bueso, Jordi; Miglietta, M.M.; Rotunno, Richard (2017-03-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    On 28 November 2012, a multivortex EF3 tornado occurred in southeastern Italy causing one fatality and estimated damage of 60 million euros. At approximately 1050 LT (0950 UTC), this tornado, which initially formed in ...
  • An idealised study for the long term evolution of crescentic bars 

    Chen, W.L.; Dodd, Nicholas; Tiessen, M.C.H.; Calvete Manrique, Daniel (2018-01-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. An idealised study that identifies the mechanisms in the long term evolution of crescentic bar systems in nature is presented. Growth to finite amplitude (i.e., equilibration, sometimes referred to as ...
  • Extensional channel flow revisited: a dynamical systems perspective 

    Marqués Truyol, Francisco; Meseguer Serrano, Álvaro; Mellibovsky Elstein, Fernando; Weidman, Patrick (2017-06-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    Extensional self-similar flows in a channel are explored numerically for arbitrary stretching–shrinking rates of the confining parallel walls. The present analysis embraces time integrations, and continuations of steady ...
  • Nonsingular black holes, the cosmological constant, and asymptotic safety 

    Torres Herrera, Ramon (2017-07-15)
    Article
    Open Access
    Quantum gravitational effects in black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant ¿ are considered. The effective quantum spacetimes for the black holes are constructed by taking into account the renormalization group ...
  • Meteodiversity: a new concept for quantifying meteorological diversity 

    Mazón Bueso, Jordi; Pino González, David (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-05-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    Inspired by the concept of biodiversity used by biologists and ecologists, the concept of meteodiversity is proposed as a method of characterising the variety of meteorological phenomena in a defined area within a specified ...
  • Self-organized kilometer-scale shoreline sand wave generation: sensitivity to model and physical parameters 

    Idier, Déborah; Falqués Serra, Albert; Rohmer, Jérémy; Arriaga García, Jaime Alonso (2017-09-19)
    Article
    Open Access
    The instability mechanisms for self-organized kilometer-scale shoreline sand waves have been extensively explored by modeling. However, while the assumed bathymetric perturbation associated with the sand wave controls the ...
  • Modeling the long-term diffusion and feeding capability of a mega-nourishment 

    Arriaga García, Jaime Alonso; Rutten, Jantien; Ribas Prats, Francesca; Falqués Serra, Albert; Ruessink, Gerben (2017-03-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    A morphodynamic model based on the wave-driven alongshore sediment transport, including cross-shore transport in a simplified way and neglecting tides, is presented and applied to the Zandniotor mega-nourishment on the ...
  • Nonsingular black holes, the cosmological constant and asymptotic safety 

    Torres Herrera, Ramon (2017-06-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    Quantum gravitational effects in black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant ¿ are considered. The effective quantum spacetimes for the black holes are constructed by taking into account the renormalization group ...
  • Non-singular quantum improved rotating black holes and their maximal extension 

    Torres Herrera, Ramon (2017-06-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    We add a prescription to the Newman–Janis algorithm in order to use it as a means of finding new extended rotating black hole spacetimes from static spherically symmetric ones. Then, we apply the procedure to a quantum ...
