The assessment of aridity conditions is a key factor for water management and the implementation of mitigation and adaptation policies in agroforestry systems. Towards this aim, three aridity indices were computed for the Iberian Peninsula (IP): the De Martonne Index (DMI), the Pinna Combinative Index (PCI), and the Erinç Aridity Index (EAI). These...

The Weighted Anomaly of Standardized Precipitation Index (WASP-Index) was computed over Iberia for three monthly timescales (3-month, 6-month and 12-month) in 1961–2020, based on an observational gridded precipitation dataset (E-OBS), and between 2021 and 2070, based on bias-corrected precipitation generated by a six-member climate model ensemble f...
The WASP-Index is computed over Iberia for three monthly timescales in 1961-2020, based on an observational gridded precipitation dataset (E-OBS), and in 2021-2070, based on bias-corrected precipitation generated by a six-member climate model ensemble from EURO-CORDEX, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The WASP performance in identifying extremely dry or we...
Palavras chave: Alterações climáticas, Desempenho energético de edifícios, Graus-dia de aquecimento, Graus-dia de arrefecimento, Zonamento climático Resumo Perspetiva-se que as alterações climáticas tenham impacto nas condições do conforto térmico das pessoas, quer no interior dos edifícios, quer no exterior, alterando, assim, a procura da energia,...
Projections of Köppen-Geiger climate classifications under future climate change for the Iberian Peninsula are investigated using a 7-ensemble mean of regional climate models obtained from EURO-CORDEX. Maps with predicted future scenarios for temperature, precipitation and Köppen-Geiger classification are analyzed for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 in Iberia. W...
Climate change projections for the four major divisions of the Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System in the Iberian Peninsula (IP) are analysed using a six‐member ensemble (EURO‐CORDEX) for 1961–1990, 1981–2010, 2011–2040, and 2041–2070 periods for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The direct forcing method was used to correct the bias of the simulated data...
Resumo Projeções de alterações climáticas na Península Ibérica para as quatro principais divisões do sistema mundial de classificação bioclimática (WBCS) são analisadas usando um ensemble de 6 modelos (EURO-CORDEX) para quatro períodos para RCP4.5. O viés dos dados simulados foi corrigido através do método de forçamento direto usando um conjunto de...

Researchers in atmospheric sciences often use the popular format named Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) developed by University Corporation for Atmospheric research (UCAR) to create, manage, store and distribute scientific data. It is a platform independent format, available for several operational systems, and it was designed to represent multidi...
This study was intended to compare the oceanographic conditions in two regions, Azores and Sines, during the two most recent extreme climatic events, Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene Optimum. To obtain the information necessary for the proposed study, were analyzed sequences of marine sediments collected in the two study areas, using proxies t...
The beach profile morphodynamic processes can be relatively well reproduced in large scale physical models. However, the cost associated to their use makes this methodology not always practicable. As alternative, it is desirable to explore and apply smaller scales laboratory infrastructures with confidence, despite the different scaling laws, that...
