| Group 1 | The Atmosphere Physics group of the Departamento de Física de la Tierra II of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid works in data recovery of meteorological observations of the oceans, specially those obtained from logbooks prior to 1850. In the same way, the group works in different projects combining Spanish and South-american archives to reconstruct climate in South America and to characterize the variability of quasistationary climatic regimes in a global scale. Also, chronologies of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and the Pacific obtained from documentary sources from Spanish archives are being developed . |
| Group 2 | The climate diagnosis group of the Universidad de Vigo works jointly to the Atmosphere physics group of the Departamento de Física de la Tierra II of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. |
| Group 3 | The research group of the Universidad Pablo
de Olavide develops its research in the next subjects: -Climate reconstruction from documentary sources. -Climatic variability. -Global patterns. -Climate impacts (health, agricultural production, etc.). |
| Group 4 | The Atmosphere and Climate research group
of the Extremadura University has been focusing their interest in different
research lines during the last fifteen years. One of the most interesting
research line is the study of the climate variability in the Iberian Peninsula
and a big effort has been focused on it. The main interest is the study
and analysis of monthly and daily rainfall. In the last years our interest in historic climatology have grown . Some attempts have been made to recover meteorological series of observations made in Extremadura during the XIX century. Also, we have worked in the reconstruction of solar activity from documentary sources. |

| Group 6 | The main research lines of the Climatology
group in the Barcelona University are: -Variability and climate change. -Urban climatology. -Historic climatology. -Synoptic climatology. -Climate risks. -Probabilistic analysis of rainfall. -Health and clima. -Agroclimatology. -Regional climatology(atlas). |
| Group 7 | The main research lines in the University
of Zaragoza are: -Climatic analysis, specially rainfall. -Analysis of the hydrologic resources, specially focused in the study of droughts. -Analysis of the environmental answer, specially dendroecology – dendroclimatology and remote sensing techniques. |
| Group 8 | GAMA developes its investigation in the analysis
of extreme rainfall cases in the Mediterranean using instrumental data
from different remote sensing (radar, rawinsondes, satellite imagery),
automatic meteorology stations (SAIH) and meteorology stations. On the other hand, an organisation work using instrumental meteorological information and the impacts generated by these case studies in the XX century are compiled to have more case studies. Another work line is centered in the daily synoptic reconstruction using old atmospheric pressure series from 1780 until 1880. Finally, the reconstruction of cases from historic documentary sources (non instrumental) is made obtaining continuos chronologies of extreme meteorological events during the last 750 years. |
| Group 9 | Our research work is focused on characterizing the annual to decadal
natural variability of the Iberian Peninsula climate. The study of the climate
variability and its extreme values in the Iberian Peninsula during the last
500 years have been the main objectives, including the modelling/prediction
and the treatment of the extreme events. Research topics: -Climatic Variability in the Iberian Peninsula. -Climatic Reconstructions in the Iberian Peninsula. -Physical mechanism of climate variability; impact of the NAO and the ENSO on the climate of the North Atlantic Area (including the Mediterranean region) -Development of a specific statistical model for seasonal prediction of temperature and precipitation on the Iberian Peninsula, including extreme events. -Time series analysis: ARMA, SSA, Wavelet analysis. |
| Group 10 | The research group on climatology in the
University of Almería is dedicated to investigate climate variability
and sun radiation in the Iberian Peninsula. In the climatology area, three
objectives focus the interest of the group: -Historical climatology: reconstruction of past Iberian climates from documentary sources. -Climatic variability in the Iberian Peninsula: At this moment we are working in the project "Predicción estacional del clima de la Península Ibérica a partir de la integración de modelos físicos y estadísticos" (reference REN2001-3923-C02-02) financed by the Spanish Science and Technology Ministery, in collaboration with the research group of the University of Granada, (Dra. Yolanda Castro-Díez). This project is focused in the analysis of climate variability (mainly rainfall) in the Iberian Peninsula at seasonal and interannual time scales, and its links to sea level pressure fields (basically NAO), sea surface temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, and southern Oscillation (SO). -Climate extremes analysis of frequency, intensity and evolution of extreme events in the Iberian Peninsula, at daily, monthly and seasonal time-scales. This is the object of a new research project recently presented. |
| Group 11 | The main research lines of the group of the Sunderland University
are: -Regional climates of the Iberian Peninsula and United Kingdom -The climate in Gibraltar -Historic climate studies made from documentary and intrumental sources |
