Flash heat and flash cold phenomena in the Iberian Peninsula since 1900
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessRapid and sudden changes in air temperature can be classified as extreme events, having a risk for human activities, human health and ecosystems. Flash heat and flash cold events are investigated in the Iberian Peninsula ... -
Transdisciplinary and multiscale reconstruction of the major floods
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessFloods are the most severe natural hazard in the western Mediterranean basin. Flash floods in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula are caused by a limited array of meteorological processes, which must be identified and ... -
Frontogenesis at the whole mesoscale in the West Mediterranean basin: from raincells to rainbands
(2015)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe mesoscale is one of the common scales in which atmospheric phenomena occur. Its length scale ranges from few to thousands kilometers, and time lapse from few minutes to few days (Orlanski, 1975), and depths from ... -
Uso de Sensoriamento Remoto em acompanhamento de projetos de recuperação ambiental no Pontal do Paranapanema-SP, Brasil
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessObjetivamos construir máscaras de vegetação e não-vegetação sobre a evolução da cobertura vegetal no território Pontal do Paranapanema entre 2003 e 2013, com a utilização de imagens geradas pelo Thematic Mapper (TM) do ... -
External temperature effects on the hysteresis of NiTi wires in dampers for stay-cables
(Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numèrics en Enginyeria (CIMNE), 2014)
Conference report
Open AccessThe use of NiTi wires, one of the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) materials that permits efficient damping in stayed cables for bridges, requires an appropriate behavior when exposed to the external temperature effects. The ... -
Trend of flash heat events in the Iberian Peninsula during the period 1900-2010
(2015)

Studying the Boundary Layer Late Afternoon nd Sunset Turbulence (BLLAST)
(2010)
Conference lecture
Open AccessAt the end of the afternoon, when the surface heat fluxes start to sharply decrease, the CBL turns from a convective well-mixed layer to an intermittently turbulent residual layer overlying a stably-stratified boundary ... -

Meteorological reconstruction of major floods in early instrumental period in Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula)
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessFloods are among the most dangerous natural hazards in the Western Mediterranean area. Historically, these types of events have generated many affectations over several fields, such as agriculture or infrastructures, ... -
Climatic characteristics of floods from the PREDIFLOOD Project Database, Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula), AD1033-2013
(2014)
Conference lecture
Open AccessStudy of flood events in long historical chronologies is common in different European basins. The main objective of these kind of studies is to describe climatic variability related to hydrometeorological events, but also ... -
Snow bands over the gulf of Finland
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessLarge shore-parallel and quasi-stationary snow bands are occasionally observed over the Baltic Sea (Andersson et al, 1990; Gustafsson et al., 1998; Vihma et al., 2002) and the Gulf of Finland during wintertime, when the ... -
Km-scale shoreline sand waves: Numerical modelling and observations
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessKm-scale shoreline sand waves have been studied with a quasi two dimensional model (Q2D-morfo model) and with observations from a populated coastal zone in Yucatán (México) with frequent human interventions. The model ...
