  • Increased population exposure to extreme droughts in Iberia due to 0.5 °C additional anthropogenic warming

    Open AccessAna Russo, Virgílio A Bento et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    This study investigates the effects of incremental global warming, specifically the transition from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C, on drought conditions in the Iberian Peninsula (IP). Our findings confirm a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts in the IP due to anthropogenic climate change. We highlight the importance of temperature in drought representation and underscore the urgent need to limit global warming below 1.5 °C, in line…

  • Uncertainty in different precipitation products in the case of two atmospheric river events

    Open AccessAlexandre M Ramos, Rémy Roca et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    One of the World Climate Research Programme Grand Challenges is to evaluate whether existing observations are enough to underpin the assessment of weather and climate extremes. In this study, we focus on extreme associated with atmospheric rivers (ARs). ARs are characterized by intense moisture transport usually from the tropics to the extra-tropics. They can either be beneficial, providing critical water supply, or hazardous, when excessive prec…

  • Global marine heatwave events using the new CMIP6 multi-model ensemble

    Open AccessSandra Plecha, Pedro M M SoaresARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    In recent years, research related to the occurrence of marine heatwave (MHW) events worldwide has been increasing, reporting severe impacts on marine ecosystems which led to losses of marine biodiversity or changes in world fisheries. Many of these studies, based on regional and global coupled models, show relevant biases in the MHW properties when compared with observations. In this study, the MHW frequency of occurrence, the duration and mean i…

  • Global offshore wind energy resources using the new ERA-5 reanalysis

    Open AccessPedro M M Soares, Daniela C A Lima et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    A global quantitative characterization of offshore wind power density is presented over the economic exclusive zones (EEZs), at annual and seasonal scales, based on the recently released ECMWF ERA-5 reanalysis. Compared to its predecessors, ERA-5 features increased spatial and temporal resolutions, along with improved model parameterizations and data assimilation methodologies. Consequently, the present study represents an updated benchmark of wi…

  • Persistence of the high solar potential in Africa in a changing climate

    Open AccessPedro M M Soares, M C Brito et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The African continent faces several challenges and threats: high vulnerability to climate change, the fastest population increase, the lowest degree of electrification and the need for an energy transition towards renewable energies. Solar energy constitutes a viable option for addressing these issues. In a changing climate the efficient implementation of solar capacity should rely on comprehensive information about the solar resource. Here, the …

  • A surface modelling approach for attribution and disentanglement of the effects of global warming from urbanization in temperature extremes

    Open AccessMiguel Nogueira, Pedro M M SoaresARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Attribution and disentanglement of the effects of global greenhouse gas and land-use changes on temperature extremes in urban areas is a complex and critical issue in the context of regional-to-local climate change mitigation and adaptation. Here, an innovative modelling framework based on a large ensemble of urban climate simulations, using SURFEX (a land-surface model) coupled to TEB (an urban canopy model), forced by E20C (a GCM-based reanalys…

  • Climate change impact on Northwestern African offshore wind energy resources

    Open AccessPedro M M Soares, Daniela C A Lima et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Offshore wind is one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Therefore, it is crucial \nto assess how this resource will evolve within the 21st century, in the context of a changing climate. \nThe North African Coastal Low-Level Jet (CLLJ) region, which encompasses offshore areas from \nNorthwest Morocco to Senegal, has an enormous wind harvesting potential, as it provides a \nstrong, persistent alongshore flow. In the current study, t…

  • The synergy between drought and extremely hot summers in the Mediterranean

    Open AccessAna Russo, Célia M Gouveia et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    In the last years a large number of weather driven extreme events has occurred worldwide with unprecedented socio-economic impacts and are expected to increase, in both frequency and intensity, under future global-warming conditions. In this context early identification and predictability of such events are paramount as they mostly affect several socio-economic activities. Despite the effort in monitoring and evaluation of these extreme events, a…
