Due to the lack of con- tinuous reliable meteorological information, we supplemented our analysis of official sources by consulting the daily newspapers for the days when snow was most likely. We selected 3 cities which are spatially representative for the study area as a whole and for which there is press cov- erage throughout this period. In north-south order, these cities were Alicante, Cartagena and Almería. Our analysis of official meteorological information and of press reports enabled us to broaden and improve 3 series of snowfall events in the study area. We then used these series to characterize the temporal and spatial distribution of the snowfalls and the synoptic pattern asso- ciated with them.}, publisher = {Inter Research}, keywords = {Mediterranean}, keywords = {Natural region of SE Iberian Peninsula}, keywords = {Reconstruction of snowfall events}, keywords = {Climate analysis}, title = {Reconstruction and analysis of 1900−2017 snowfall events on the southeast coast of Spain}, doi = {10.3354/cr01557}, author = {Martínez Ibarra, Emilio and Serrano-Montes, José Luis and Arias García, Jonatan}, }
