Journal ArticleDOI
Research on aerosol sources and chemical composition: Past, current and emerging issues
TL;DR: In spite of considerable progress in recent years, a quantitative and predictive understanding of atmospheric aerosol sources, chemical composition, transformation processes and environmental effects is still rather limited, and therefore represents a major research challenge in atmospheric science as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of statistically significant trends in the summer precipitation of mainland Spain
TL;DR: In the context of global warming, it is a well-known fact that there is an increase in precipitation in middle latitudes as discussed by the authors, and convective phenomena have also been on the increase in the past few decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
The kinetic energy of rain measured with an optical disdrometer: An application to splash erosion
María Fernández-Raga,Roberto Fraile,Jan Jacob Keizer,María Eufemia Varela Teijeiro,Amaya Castro,Covadonga Palencia,Ana I. Calvo,Joost Koenders,Renata Liliana Da Costa Marques +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the procedures used to measure and compute the kinetic energy and various other rainfall characteristics as well as the concurrent splash erosion rates in a recently terraced forest plantation in Soutelo, north-central Portugal, from May to September 2007 were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition of wet precipitation at the background EMEP station in Víznar (Granada, Spain) (2002–2006)
Ana I. Calvo,F.J. Olmo,Hassan Lyamani,Lucas Alados-Arboledas,Amaya Castro,María Fernández-Raga,Roberto Fraile +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe winter precipitation chemistry data (2002-2006) from a remote regional background EMEP station located at Viznar (Granada, Spain) and the rainwater samples collected were analyzed for pH, major ion concentrations and conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connection between NAO, weather types and precipitation in León, Spain (1948–2008)
Sergio Fernández-González,S. del Río,Amaya Castro,Ángel Penas,María Fernández-Raga,Ana I. Calvo,Ana I. Calvo,Roberto Fraile +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on identifying the relationship that exists between precipitation registered in the city of Leon (in northwestern Spain), the NAO index and the associated weather type during the same period.
