Welcome to the home page of the Tropical Climate Variability and Atmospheric Teleconnections (TROPA) group of the University Complutense of Madrid (UCM).
We study tropical and extratropical climate variability, mainly in the role of the tropical oceans in the Atlantic region, including tropical and extratropical areas. We are interested in the impacts on precipitation, teleconnection mechanisms and ocean-atmosphere interactions. We work also in education at all the levels, trying to bring meterology and oceanography culture to society. We are involved in cooperation with West African and we are open to collaborate with students, teachers, professors and researchers all over the world.
Our researchers are members of the Department of Earth Physics and Astrophysics (UCM) and/or the Geosciences Institute (IGEO), a joint research center of UCM and the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).
