Projections of temperature and precipitation extremes in the North Western Mediterranean Basin by dynamical downscaling of climate scenarios at high resolution (1971-2050)
(2014-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe North Western Mediterranean basin (NWMB) is characterised by a highly complex topography and an important variability of temperature and precipitation patterns. Downscaling techniques are required to capture these ... -
The Potential impacts of electric vehicles on air quality in the urban areas of Barcelona and Madrid (Spain)
(2014-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work analyses the potential air quality improvements resulting from three fleet electrification scenarios (similar to 13, 26 and 40%) by replacing conventional vehicles with Electric Battery Vehicles (EBVs), Plug-in ... -
On the evaluation of global sea-salt aerosol models at coastal/orographic sites
(2015-01-01)
Article
Open AccessSea-salt aerosol global models are typically evaluated against concentration observations at coastal stations that are unaffected by local surf conditions and thus considered representative of open ocean conditions. Despite ... -
Inter-comparison between HERMESv2.0 and TNO-MACC-II emission data using the CALIOPE air quality system (Spain)
(2014-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work examines and compares the performance of two emission datasets on modelling air quality concentrations for Spain: (i) the High-Elective Resolution Modelling Emissions System (HERMESv2.0) and (ii) the TNO-MACC-II ... -
Aerosol radiative effects in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges using long-term aerosol data series over the Iberian Peninsula
(2014-01-01)
Article
Open AccessA better understanding of aerosol radiative properties is a crucial challenge for climate change studies. This study aims at providing a complete characterization of aerosol radiative effects in different spectral ranges ... -
Implementation of plume rise and its impacts on emissions and air quality modelling
(2014-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work analyses the impact of implementing hourly plume rise calculations over Spain in terms of: i) vertical emission allocations and ii) modelled air quality concentrations. Two air quality simulations (4 km x 4 km, ... -
Aerosol characterization at the Saharan AERONET site Tamanrasset
(2014-01-01)
Article
Open AccessMore than 2 years of columnar atmospheric aerosol measurements (2006-2009) at the Tamanrasset site (22.79 degrees N, 5.53 degrees E, 1377 ma.s.l.), in the heart of the Sahara, are analysed. Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) ... -
Saharan dust deposition may affect phytoplankton growth in the mediterranean sea at ecological time scales
(2014-10-21)
Article
Open AccessThe surface waters of the Mediterranean Sea are extremely poor in the nutrients necessary for plankton growth. At the same time, the Mediterranean Sea borders with the largest and most active desert areas in the world and ... -
Modelling wind resources in climate change scenarios in complex terrains
(2015-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWind farms have suffered a spectacular growth in Europe in the last few decades. However, future changes in climate could affect the availability of the wind resource in certain regions. This work assesses the capabilities ... -
Air quality forecasts on a kilometer-scale grid over complex Spanish terrains
(2014-09-08)
Article
Open AccessThe CALIOPE Air Quality Forecast System (CALIOPE-AQFS) represents the current state of the art in air quality forecasting systems of high-resolution running on high-performance computing platforms. It provides a 48 h ... -
EARLINET dust observations vs. BSC-DREAM8b modeled profiles: 12-year-long systematic comparison at Potenza, Italy
(2014-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, we report the first systematic comparison of 12-year modeled dust extinction profiles vs. Raman lidar measurements. We use the BSC-DREAM8b model, one of the most widely used dust regional models in the ... -
Large scale air pollution estimation method combining land use regression and chemical transport modeling in a geostatistical framework
(2014-04-15)
Article
Open AccessIn recognition that intraurban exposure gradients may be as large as between-city variations, recent air pollution epidemiologic studies have become increasingly interested in capturing within-city exposure gradients. In ...
