Many physical, chemical and biological processes taking place at the land surface are
strongly influenced by the amount of water stored within the upper soil layers. Therefore …

Near-surface wind speed trends recorded at 67 land-based stations across Spain and
Portugal for 1961–2011, also focusing on the 1979–2008 subperiod, were analyzed. Wind …

Southern European countries are particularly affected by summer wildfires and drought
events. The occurrence of extreme meteorological conditions during preceding and …

The Impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Renewable Energy Resources in
Southwestern Europe in: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology Volume 52 Issue …

This work assesses the influence of the model physics in present-day regional climate
simulations. It is based on a multi-phyiscs ensemble of 30-year long MM5 hindcasted …

The combined influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the East Atlantic (EA)
patterns on the covariability of temperatures and precipitation in 35 stations of the Iberian …

Dunes in temperate latitudes have experienced a significant stabilization in recent times,
essentially as a consequence of the expansion of dense vegetation cover. Yet, the causes …

A high-resolution (30 km) regional paleoclimate simulation of the last millennium over the
Iberian Peninsula (IP) is presented. The simulation was performed with a climate version of …

Over the past decades, different drought indices have been suggested in the literature. This
study tackles the problem of how to characterize droughts by defining a framework and …

In the Iberian Peninsula the raise of temperatures has been notable from mid-1970s to mid-
2000s, especially in spring and summer. This study analyses spatial and temporal …
