RISPrecipitation Scenarios over Iberia: A Comparison between Direct GCM Output and Different Downscaling Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Iberian rainfall regime is characterized by a strong seasonal cycle and large interannual variability. Typically, frequency distributions of monthly precipitation present a large spread of values, implying frequent ...
The 2009/10 Drought in China: Possible Causes and Impacts on Vegetation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: everal provinces of China experienced an intense drought episode during 2009 and 2010. The drought was particularly severe in southwestern and northern China, where the accumulated precipitation from May 2009 to April 2010 ...
Quantifying the Predictability of Winter River Flow in Iberia. Part I: Interannual Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability and predictability of the winter streamflow of the main Iberian Peninsula international rivers (Douro, Tejo, and Guadiana) are examined for the period 1923?2004. In the first part of this paper, ...
Quantifying the Predictability of Winter River Flow in Iberia. Part II: Seasonal Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of the Atlantic summer and autumn SSTs on the predictability of the winter Iberian Peninsula river flows is analyzed during the period 1923?2004. The analysis is based on the results of an interannual predictability ...
Where Does the Iberian Peninsula Moisture Come From? An Answer Based on a Lagrangian Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigated the main sources of moisture in the atmosphere over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) at annual and seasonal scales using FLEXPART, a powerful new 3D Lagrangian diagnosis method that identifies the humidity ...
Daily Precipitation Extreme Events in the Iberian Peninsula and Its Association with Atmospheric Rivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n automated atmospheric rivers (ARs) detection algorithm is used for the North Atlantic Ocean basin that allows the identification and a comprehensive characterization of the major AR events that affected the Iberian ...
Understanding Precipitation Changes in Iberia in Early Spring: Weather Typing and Storm-Tracking Approaches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: March monthly accumulated precipitation in the central and western regions of the Iberian Peninsula presents a clear continuous decline of 50% during the 1960?97 period. A finer analysis using daily data reveals that this ...

Euro-Atlantic Atmospheric Circulation during the Late Maunder Minimum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents observational evidence of the atmospheric circulation during the Late Maunder Minimum (LMM, 1685?1715) based on daily wind direction observations from ships in the English Channel. Four wind ...
The Outstanding 2004/05 Drought in the Iberian Peninsula: Associated Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 2004/05 hydrological year (October 2004 to September 2005) was characterized by intense dry conditions affecting most of western Europe (35°?55°N and 10°W?10°E). In Iberia the drought affected every month of this period, ...
