Goals

  1. Temporal and spatial variability of temperature, precipitation and other climatic elements in the Mediterranean.
  2. Climate change (trends on temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean area of the Iberian Peninsula.)
  3. Creation of temperature-real-time maps through MSG photos and development of remote sensors and remote-sensing techniques for the improvement of climate change’s observation capacity.
  4. Dynamic factors and processes that control situations of meteorological risks in the Mediterranean western basin. 
  5. Forecasting and monitoring of the most important meteorological risks affecting the Comunidad Valenciana (torrential rain, heat wave, forest fires).
  6. Sea water temperature and its relation with Mediterranean cyclogenesis (torrential rain) 
  7. Hydrological system inputs (water mist quantification).
