Operational predictability of monthly average maximum temperature over the Iberian Peninsula using DEMETER simulations and downscaling

Predictability of the spring rainfall in Northwestern Iberian Peninsula from sea surfaces temperature of ENSO areas

The influence of sea surface temperature (SST) of the ocean on seasonal rainfall in Northwestern Iberian Peninsula is studied for the period 1951–2006. Seasonal correlations were calculated for all seasons and different lags applied on SST. A test for field-significance considering the properties of finiteness and interdependence of the spatial grid was applied to avoid correlations by chance. ...

Title : Monthly precipitation mapping of the Iberian Peninsula using spatial interpolation tools implemented

the average and absolute maximum temperature zoning of iran

extended abstract 1. introduction temperature leaves undeniable effects on human activities and natural processes. the analysis of average maximum temperature and the highest temperatures related to the heat wave phenomenon is of great importance. the most important goals of this study include the investigation of the geographical distribution of the maximum average temperatures and extreme tem...

Seasonal predictability of the winter precipitation over Iberian Peninsula and its relationship with finite-time Lyapunov exponents

Seasonal forecasts have improved during the last decades, mostly due to an increase of understanding of the coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics, and the development of models able to predict the atmosphere variability. Correlations between different teleconnection patterns and severe weather in different parts of the world have also evolved during the last years. This paper evaluates the connecti...

Rotation of the iberian peninsula.

Jones and Ewing (1) have presented seismic profiler data from the Bay of Biscay which allows a 120 anticlockwise rotation of the Iberian peninsula between Eocene and Middle to Upper Miocene times. They refer several times to the fact that this va'ue is appreciably less than a rotation of 220, which they believe resulted from our paleomagnetic study of the Lisbon Volcanics (2). We must point out...
