Reconstruction and analysis of 1900−2017 snowfall events on the southeast coast of Spain Martínez Ibarra, Emilio Serrano-Montes, José Luis Arias García, Jonatan Mediterranean Natural region of SE Iberian Peninsula Reconstruction of snowfall events Climate analysis In this paper, we have reconstructed and analysed snowfall events on the coast of the natural region of south-eastern Iberia (Spain) over the period 1900 to 2017. 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. 2024-01-09T11:59:06Z 2024-01-09T11:59:06Z 2019 journal article Clim Res 78: 41–50, 2019 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/86657 10.3354/cr01557 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Inter Research
