Abstract:
... The Valencia coastal region (Western Mediterranean) is especially sensitive to extreme heat events, where they are really common. However, due to its geophysical characteristics and climatic conditions, the incidence of high and extreme temperatures may still be modulated over this area by means of sea breeze circulations, defining a Sea Breeze Convergence Zone (SBCZ) due to the meet and interacti ...

Abstract:
... Global climate models (GCMs) produce informative seasonal forecasts of global precipitation months ahead of the occurrence for hydrological forecasting. Meanwhile, the skill of GCM forecasts varies by location and initialization time. In this paper, we investigate the anomaly correlation, which indicates the correspondence between forecasts and observations, for 10 sets of global precipitation for ...

Despite the lack of robust empirical evidence, a growing number of media reports attempt to link climate change to the ongoing violent conflicts in Syria and other parts of the world, as well as to the migration crisis in Europe. Exploiting bilateral data on asylum seeking applications for 157 countries over the period 2006–2015, we assess the determinants of refugee flows using a gravity model wh ...

Abstract:
... The accurate determination of land surface water fluxes at various spatiotemporal scales remains a challenge in hydrological sciences. It is intuitive that land surface net water flux (i.e., infiltration minus evapotranspiration) directly affects near-surface soil moisture. However, there exists no hydrological model suitable to calculate net water flux based on measured near-surface soil moisture ...
