Climatological comparison of 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 snow seasons in Central and Western Spanish Pyrenees and its relationship with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)
Comunicación presentada en: International Snow Science Workshop Grenoble, celebrado en Chamonix Mont-Blanc, del 7 al 11 de octubre de 2013. The 2011–2012 winter season can be considered exceptional in Spanish Central and Western Pyrenees due to the scarce precipitation and unconsolidated snowpack. H...
