Els estudis que integren el present volum constitueixen resultats de recerques de primera ma desenvolupades pels components del Grup de Recerca en Historia i Clima de la Universitat d'Alacant, a les quals s'incorporen contribucions d'experts d'altres universitats espanyoles. Meteorologia extrema, naturalesa deslligada, desastres, crisis de subsistencies i religiositat popular son elements, entre uns altres, amb els quals es construeixen les diferents aportacions. En algunes d'elles s'ofereixen propostes metodologiques per a afrontar l'analisi que, en ultima instancia, preten donar a coneixer com mes i millor siga possible la manera com les societats de l'Antic Regim i les seues precaries economies van suportar aquests problemes i tambe en quina mesura van intentar fer-los front i mitigar els seus efectes.

Los territorios adquieren personalidad geográfica por los rasgos de su medio físico. En el caso del País Valenciano, un espacio geográfico ribereño del Mediterráneo occidental, es el clima –o, mejor,

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human induced climate change its impacts and future risks and options for adaptation and mitigation This IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land SRCCL is the most comprehensive and up to date scientific assessment of the multiple interactions between climate change and land assessing climate change desertification land degradation sustainable land management food security and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems It assesses the options for governance and decision making across multiple scales It serves policymakers decision makers stakeholders and all interested parties with unbiased up to date policy relevant information This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

Climate: Into the 21st Century features an unrivalled collection of essays by the worlds leading meteorological experts. Compiled by an international team formed under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), these fully integrated contributions provide a perspective of the global climate system across the 20th century. The most arresting and extreme climatic events are described. In addition, the book traces the development of our capabilities to observe and monitor the climate system, and outlines our understanding of the predictability of climate on many time-scales. Lavishly illustrated in colour and written in an accessible and engaging style, this book provides a very readable account of the challenges that climate poses at the start of the 21st Century. It will captivate the general reader interested in climate issues, as well as forming a valuable teaching resource.

The past 100 years are a key period for understanding climate variability and climate change as it marks the changeover from a climate system dominated by natural influences to a climate system dominated by anthropogenic influences. This volume compiles a number of contributions to a workshop held in Gwatt, Switzerland, in July 2006 dealing with different aspects of climate change, variability, and extremes during the past 100 years. The individual contributions cover a broad range of topics, ranging from the re-evaluation of historical marine data to the effect of solar variability on the stratosphere. ''This volume brings together a fascinating and varied set of papers on climatic variability and change. The papers highlight what modelers can learn by greater study of observations, while the latter were informed about the types of observations required to reduce model uncertainties'' - Phil Jones, University of East Anglia. ''The authors of this volume extend the classical reanalysis perspective for studying climate phenomena during the past 100 years!'' - Heinz Wanner, Director, Swiss NCCR Climate.

Este libro tiene como objetivo mostrar de la manera más sencilla posible, pero a la vez con el máximo rigor y precisión, el funcionamiento del sistema climático mundial. Una primera parte introductoria presenta algunas de las principales claves de la climatologia actual y examina en su conjunto el sistema climatico mundial y la atmosfera en particular. En la segunda parte de la obra se abordan los procesos que gobiernan el funcionamiento del sistema. El texto concluye con un tercer bloque centrado en las dimensiones espacial y temporal del clima.

El Instituto Interuniversitario de Geografía y el Laboratorio de Climatología de la Universitat Jaume I han desarrollado un estudio sobre las condiciones climatológicas de la zona del aeropuerto de Castellon desde el punto de vista de la aeronautica. Las condiciones atmosfericas son claves en todo lo concerniente a la seguridad y optimizacion de los vuelos aereos. Para conocerlas, el estudio tiene en cuenta desde registros historicos del regimen aereo de la provincia hasta el papel de los diferentes elementos del clima en las zonas aeroportuarias.L''Institut Interuniversitari de Geografia i el Laboratori de Climatologia de la Universitat Jaume I han desenvolupat un estudi sobre les condicions climatologiques de la zona de l''aeroport de Castello des del punt de vista de l''aeronautica.
