INTRODUCTION

• Hydrological cycle modification by global warming might affect precipitation. This impact could be more important than the global warming itself.

• Rainfall variability analyses is one of the main objectives of the IPCC, particularly in those areas which are strongly dependent upon water resources (e.g. Mediterranean basin).

• Global projections are not useful at local scale. High spatial resolution analysis are absolutely required.

HYPOTHESIS

In the Mediterranean façade of Spain monthly precipitation is simultaneously affected by different atmospheric patterns.

These patterns can be dominant or not depending on the different regions and months.

There are overlapping areas.

The analysis of these patterns may help us to understand the Mediterranean rainfall variability.

STUDY AREA

Mediterranean façade of Iberian Peninsula (Spain),

1/3 of Iberian Peninsula, 37% of conterminous Spain, 182,000 km2

Precipitation is characterized by irregular, seasonal and torrential nature

Precipitation database consists of monthly, homogeneous and complete series over 1,100 meteorological stations (period 1951-2000),

Overall density 1 station / 150-200 km2.

Information is available to 1500 m o.s.l.

Monthly Precipitation data, Mediterranean of Spain MOPREDAMES

and METHOD

• Pearson’s correlation coefficient between monthly precipitation dataset and teleconnection indices:

NAOI series from Jones et al. (1997, IJC 17, 1433-1450.)

MOI series from CRU web site

McI series from Brunetti et al. (2002, IJC 22, 1455-1471)

WeMOI series from Martin-Vide and Lopez-Bustins (2006, IJC 26, 1455-1475).

Correlation between indices

• NAOI correlates with MOI and McI but not with WeMOI.

• MOI correlates with McI and WeMOI

• McI correlates poorly with WeMOI (and negatively)

WeMOI is independent of NAOI,

MOI is the mediterranean expresion of NAOI, and

McI is a subregional pattern linked to MOI-NAOI

WeMOI

• Positive correlation

• Negative correlation

Pearson > 0.50, <-0.50

FEBRUARY correlation between rainfall and teleconnection

Page 13: Spatial overlaping areas of several teleconection indices on Spain´s Mediterranean façade according to spring rainfall. J.C. González-Hidalgo (1), J.A

Highest teleconnection index correlation (number of stations)

February March April May

NAOI 88

MOI 412

McI 48

WeMOI 546

FEBRUARY (not properly spring month)

MOI predominates (inland), and WeMOI (east coastland)

NAOI signal is weeker than MOI and it is only detected as predominant in a few meteorological station NW

Page 24: Spatial overlaping areas of several teleconection indices on Spain´s Mediterranean façade according to spring rainfall. J.C. González-Hidalgo (1), J.A

CONCLUSIONS• In the study area February-May precipitation is under

different teleconnection indices influence.

Page 25: Spatial overlaping areas of several teleconection indices on Spain´s Mediterranean façade according to spring rainfall. J.C. González-Hidalgo (1), J.A

CONCLUSIONS

• Atlantic fluxes increase their influence on spring rainfall while Mediterranean ones decrease (opposed results for autumn and winter analyses).

CONCLUSIONS

• Monthly analysis let us to detect spatial and temporal shifts of the highest correlated areas between precipitation and the teleconection indices.

• The low correlation (although significant) between NAOI and precipitation suggests that MOI explains better than NAOI February-March precipitation over eastern Iberian Peninsula.

• This approach could help us to understand the nature of eastern Iberia rainfall variability.

And… overall ………….
