Influence of solar forcing, climate variability and modes of low-frequency atmospheric variability on summer floods in Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, a new index of summer flood damage that considers severe and catastrophic summer floods in Switzerland between 1800 and 2009, and explores the influence of external forcings on flood frequencies are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Key features of cold-air pool episodes in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula (Cerdanya, eastern Pyrenees)
Josep Ramon Miró,Juan Carlos Peña,Juan Carlos Peña,Nick Pepin,Abdelmalik Sairouni,Montserrat Aran +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a network of 40 temperature sensors was deployed from 2012 to 2015 along seven elevational transects to collect hourly data of temperature and humidity, enabling the measurement of CAP characteristics and behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of extreme rainfall in the Ebre Observatory (Spain)
Núria Pérez-Zanón,M. Carmen Casas-Castillo,Raúl Rodríguez-Solà,Juan Carlos Peña,Anna Rius,J. Germán Solé,A. Redaño +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between maximum rainfall rates for time intervals between 5min and 24h has been studied from almost a century (1905-2003) of rainfall data registered in the Ebre Observatory (Tarragona, Spain).
Journal ArticleDOI
A 500-year flood history of the arid environments of southeastern Spain. The case of the Almanzora River
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the historical floods of the Almanzora catchment, in southeastern Spain, one of the driest regions in Europe, and found that the most destructive events occurred in 1550, 1729, 1879 and 1973, the last being the most catastrophic event on record.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a new classification of EUMed pyroregions, based on grouping different ecoregions with similar seasonal patterns of burned area, was developed, and thresholds associated with fire activity in response to different drivers related to fuel moisture, surface meteorology and atmospheric stability.
