The objectives of this multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary project are: the evaluation of climate change trends, for the entire IMB, mainly in terms of two Essential Climate Variables (ECV, defined by the Global Climate Observing System), i.e., temperature and precipitation; the monitoring of these variables with ground-observed and satellite data, and their forecast at short to medium terms; and the study of associated extreme events and trend impacts.
The main objective of the current project is to study the changes in climate trends taking place in the Comunidad Valenciana as a consequence of anthropogenic changes introduced in the climate system. This study intends to expect and foresee possible problems paying special attention to adverse events (heat and cold waves, pouring rains, droughts, damage to agriculture) with a potential impact on population.
