Una breve síntesis de la evolución climática de la península ibérica durante los últimos 2000 años

Exploring Combined Influences of Seasonal East Atlantic (EA) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the Temperature-Precipitation Relationship in the Iberian Peninsula

“…With respect to maximum temperatures, anomalies intensify (reduce) when the two modes have the same (different) sign. A complete explanation of climate variability in the IP requires the role of other circulation patterns to be taken into account, in particular the Scandinavian pattern (SCAND, [29,32,33] and the Western Mediterranean Oscillation (WeMO, [65]). Analysing the role of these patterns on the covariability of temperature and precipitation in the IP will be the subject of future works.…”

“…Discussions regarding the influence of the NAO on temperatures underline the important role of the action centre locations, the Azores High and the Icelandic Low [27,28], which has been related to the NAO's interaction with other circulation patterns, in particular the EA [29][30][31]. Numerous studies report on the strong relationship between the EA and temperature variations in the IP throughout the year [3,30,32,33]: the EA's positive phase causes the advection of warm and humid air masses from the south and southwest over the IP, leading to an increase in temperatures. In the negative phase, the behaviour is the opposite, generating a decrease in temperatures.…”

“…The IP climate is remarkably sensitive to changes in atmospheric circulation configuration due to its complex orography and its location in a transition region between the mid and subtropical latitudes, and between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea [51]. These conditions give rise to many microclimatic regimes, which have varied sensitivity to the main atmospheric circulation patterns [33]. Changes in the relationship between temperature and precipitation can be directed both by circulation patterns and by local weather factors [47].…”
