| dc.description.abstract | El cambio climático está modificando la circulación atmosférica que rige gran parte del clima regional, alterando la frecuencia e intensidad de fenómenos extremos como olas de calor, lluvias intensas o sequías. Comprender cómo evoluciona esta circulación resulta clave para anticipar impactos climáticos a escala regional, mejorar los modelos climáticos y diseñar medidas de adaptación eficaces. Existe una amplia variedad de modelos climáticos globales, capaces de representar las características generales del clima a escala global. Sin embargo, presentan importantes discrepancias y errores en la representación de la circulación atmosférica, que dificultan alcanzar un diagnóstico robusto y consensuado sobre los cambios proyectados, especialmente a escala regional. Esta tesis explora el uso de esquemas de clasificación sinóptica, concretamente el método de tipos de tiempo de Jenkinson–Collison (JC-WT), como herramienta para analizar y proyectar los cambios en la circulación atmosférica extratropical a nivel global. A partir de datos de reanálisis y de simulaciones climáticas, se evalúa la aplicabilidad global del método, su sensibilidad a distintos modos de variabilidad climática, la capacidad de los modelos para reproducir los patrones sinópticos observados en el pasado, y la detección de señales emergentes del cambio climático en las próximas décadas. | es_ES |
| dc.description.abstract | Climate change is altering the atmospheric circulation that governs much of regional climate, modifying the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, or droughts. Understanding how this circulation evolves is key to anticipate regional climate impacts, improve climate models, and design effective adaptation strategies. There is a wide range of Global Climate Models capable of representing the general characteristics of the climate at a global scale. However, they exhibit significant discrepancies and biases in their representation of atmospheric circulation, making it difficult to reach a robust and consensual diagnosis of projected changes, particularly at regional scales. This thesis explores the use of synoptic classification schemes, specifically the Jenkinson–Collison weather type (JC-WT) method, as a tool to analyse and project changes in extratropical atmospheric circulation on global scale. Based on reanalysis data and climate model simulations (CMIP5 and CMIP6), the work assesses the global applicability of the method, its sensitivity to main modes of climate variability, the ability of models to reproduce observed synoptic patterns in the historical period, and the emergence of anthropogenic signals in the coming decades. | es_ES |
| dc.description.sponsorship | This PhD Thesis has been developed in the framework of the national project “Contribución española al ATLAS del IPCC-AR6: Desarrollo y problemas científicos” (ATLAS, PID2019-111481RB-I00), through a grant from the FPI program (PRE2020-094728), funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación – Agencia Estatal de Investigación (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and ESF investing in your future. I also benefited from a 3-months long stay in the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Prague (Czech Republic); within the FPI program (PRE2020-094728). I acknowledge funding from the Project INDECIS, part of European Research Area for Climate Services Consortium (ERA4CS) with cofunding by the European Union Grant 690462, for funding me in the previous months before the start of this Thesis. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of the CSIC’s Interdisciplinary Thematic Platform Clima (PTI-Clima), funded by the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) and the European Commission’s NextGenerationEU programme (Regulation EU 2020/2094), for providing financial assistance to attend some of the conferences listed in this thesis (Sec. 7.2). | es_ES |
