We presents the Basque Country Impact Weather Catalogue, recording detailed information on adverse weather events and their environmental impacts. It includes context, hazard/risk, and impact sections, utilizing data from Euskalmet, Emergency, Media, Insurance, etc. Standardized information enables qualitative and quantitative analysis feasibility for events spanning the 21st century. The paper details catalogue design, structure, and implementation steps.
This study examines floods in the Basque Autonomous Community from 2000 to 2021, assessing damages, weather conditions, and other factors. It uses data from the Spanish Insurance Compensation Consortium and the AWS network, analyzing diverse datasets to extract indicators. Visual analytics are used for analysis and characterization.
A new plume rise scheme based on heat transport by particles was presented: the entrainment is simulated by the mixing of two fluids (air and plume particles) with different temperatures and the resulting temperature is given by Richmann's law. The new algorithm is compared with the one that is currently included in SPRAY-WEB by Alessandrini et al. (2013). The new scheme seems to behave better when the ambient wind speeds are higher, but the asymptotic behavior is correct even with lower speeds.
