Description
Summary:Climate characterization of the Cantabrian Mountains in Castilla and León is performed, highlighting the features that single out from the analysis of their thermal and rainfall variables, expressed numerically and cartographic. The imprint of the relief, the zonal and meridian climatic transition, and the change observed in some variables from the 90s to the present, are notable aspects. Se realiza la caracterización del clima de la Cordillera Cantábrica en Castilla y León, resaltando los rasgos que la singularizan a partir del análisis de sus variables térmicas y pluviométricas, expresadas de forma numérica y cartográfica. La impronta del relieve, la transición climática zonal y meridiana, y el cambio observado en algunas variables desde los años 90 a la actualidad, son aspectos a destacar.
