Development and adaptation to climate change
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on its recent Global Climate report in 2018, the impacts of climate change are accelerating in a disturbing way.
Atmospheric tracing and tracking techniques
La simulación numérica de modelos de transporte atmosférico se convierte en una herramienta muy útil para la gestión de episodios de calidad de aire y olores molestos.
Sand storms, megacities and intense industrial activity
Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) las ciudades más contaminadas del mundo son Zabol (Irán), Gwalior (India), Allahabad (India), Riyadh (Arabia Saudí) y Al Jubail (Arabia Saudí).
Dust: when pollution comes from deserts
When we talk about natural dust, we are referring to a mixture of solid particles suspended in the atmosphere, created by the action of wind on arid or desert surfaces.
Heat island: air quality impacts
Asphalt, buildings or the nonexistence of green spaces are the main cause of the island heat effect, that usually occurs in big cities.
The first European app to empower citizens against floods, fires and extreme weather
The research project I-REACT, funded by the European Commission, launches today a free app to keep citizens safe from floods, fires and extreme weather.
VISCA project announces a promising harvest
On 5th – 6th April 2018, a technical meeting of VISCA project took place at BSC premises in Barcelona. The main objective of this meeting was focused on how to operate the platform that will be used in the 3 demo sites in Italy, Portugal and Spain.
New air quality paper published by Meteosim
Meteosim, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), published an interesting article in which it analyses and evaluates the coupling between a photochemical model and a model of finite elements of application on air quality. This study was previously presented at the prestigious HARMO congress in its 2017 edition.
Climate change impacts on the Wine sector
VISCA is a R&D Project that integrates climate, agricultural and end-users specifications in order to design medium- and long-term adaptation strategies to climate change.
