Validation of a simple diagnostic relationship for downslope flows
Atmospheric Science Letters, 2020 A simple conceptual view of downslope flows allows a derivation of a diagnostic relationship between the maximum depth of the flow, its speed, the slope angle and the cooling flux.

Understanding the Magnification of Heatwaves over Spain: Relevant changes in the most extreme events
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023 Heatwaves (HW) are a growing climate change-related risk affecting people's lives every year. A consensus exists about the magnification of this phenomena under climate change; however, less is known about their regional-to-local evolution ...

Spatio-temporal patterns of meteorological droughts in the Balearic Islands (Spain)
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2016 The Balearic Islands is a region highly prone to suffer meteorological and hydrological droughts, mainly due to the high intra- and inter-annual variability of precipitation, and the high water consumption associated to summer touristic pressure. In this work we aim to characterize the spatial and temporal characteristics of meteorological droughts in ...

Contribution of mean climate to hot temperature extremes for present and future climates
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2020 The occurrence of very high temperatures (hot extremes) is often linked with negative impacts in human health, natural ecosystems and the economy (e.g., energy, water supply and agriculture). Studies have invariably shown that the intensity and frequency

In situ measurements of desert dust particles above the western Mediterranean Sea with the balloon-borne Light Optical Aerosol Counter/sizer (LOAC) during the ChArMEx campaign of summer 2013 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Mineral dust from arid areas is a major component of global aerosol and has strong interactions with climate and biogeochemistry. As part of the Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment (ChArMEx) to investigate atmospheric chemistry and its impacts ...

High-resolution data assimilation for two maritime extreme weather events: a comparison between 3D-Var and EnKF [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesPopulated coastal regions in the Mediterranean are known to be severely affected by extreme weather events. Generally, they are initiated over maritime regions, where a lack of in situ observations is present, hampering initial condition estimations and,
