Daily Meteorological Observations in Cadiz — San Fernando. Analysis of the Documentary Sources and the Instrumental Data Content (1786–1996)

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous series for temperature and atmospheric pressure at a daily resolution have been compiled and constructed from 1817 until 1996, composed of thrice daily observations made at Cadiz (1821-1880) by local observers and hourly data from Naval Observatory at San Fernando (1870-1996).
Journal ArticleDOI

A 2600-year history of floods in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland: frequencies, mechanisms and climate forcing

TL;DR: In this article, a 2600-year long composite palaeoflood record is reconstructed from high-resolution delta plain sediments of the Hasli-Aare floodplain on the northern slope of the Swiss Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI

The extreme floods in the Ebro River basin since 1600 CE

TL;DR: This work reconstructs the most important floods of the Ebro basin during the last 400 years in different areas of the basin by using hydraulic models and to calculate the subbasins contributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long pressure series for Barcelona (Spain). Daily reconstruction and monthly homogenization

TL;DR: In this paper, a separate time series made up of three (deterministic, periodic and random) components is analyzed, and a methodological approach based on the cumulative deviation from the mean is then used to homogenize the monthly pressure series.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of multi-archive datasets for the development of a four-dimensional paleoflood model of alpine catchments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed and compared with documentary data (six series) and the profiles of lichenometric-dated flood heights (four series) to determine common flood pulses, identify events that are out-of-phase, investigate the sensitivity of the different natural archives to flood drivers and forcing, locate past flooding in an alpine region of 2117 km2, and simulate atmospheric modes of climate variability during flood-rich periods from 1400 to 2005.
