CAECENET: An automatic system processing photometer and ceilometer data from different networks to provide columnar and vertically-resolved aerosol properties. by Celia Herrero Del Barrio, Roberto Román, Ramiro González, Alberto Cazorla, Marcos Herreras-Giralda, Juan Carlos Antuña-Sánchez, Francisco Molero, Francisco Navas-Guzmán, Antonio Serrano, María Ángeles Obregón, Yolanda Sola, Marco Pandolfi, Sara Herrero-Anta, Daniel González-Fernández, Jorge Muñiz-Rosado, David Mateos, Abel Calle, Carlos Toledano, Victoria E Cachorro, Ángel M de Frutos

“…This work also explores the potential of CAECENET to monitor and analyze the evolution of transported aerosol events on a regional scale by means of the distribution of CAECENET stations across the Iberian Peninsula. As an example, this paper analyzes, using the CAECENET products, the case of a Saharan dust outbreak that occurred between the 3rd and 5th of October 2022. …”

Parameterization of the Stomatal Component of the DO3SE Model for Mediterranean Evergreen Broadleaf Species by Roccío Alonso, Susana Elvira, María J. Sanz, Lisa Emberson, Benjamín S. Gimeno

“…This parameterization was based on a literature review, and was calibrated and validated using experimentally measured data of gs and several atmospheric and soil parameters recorded at three sites of the Iberian Peninsula experiencing long summer drought, and very cold and dry winter air (El Pardo and Miraflores) or milder conditions (Tietar). …”

Sideritis carpetana (Labiatae), a new high-mountain Mediterranean species from the marble outcrops of the Sierra de Guadarrama (Central System, Madrid, Segovia, Spain) by Jose Luis Izquierdo, Rosina Magaña Ugarte, Alba Gutiérrez-Girón, Concepción Obón de Castro, Diego Rivera Núñez, Rosario G. Gavilán

“…A new species of Sideritis (Sideritis carpetana) is described from the calcareous, high-mountain Spanish flora in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula. It is found in a Mediterranean climate at high-elevation, perennial, calcareous grasslands, as well as in marble screes of anthropogenic origin in the Sierra de Guadarrama, Central System (Spain), in a reserve area within the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, at 1996 m asl. …”

Invariant Spatial Pattern Across Mediterranean Scrublands in the Iberian Pear (Pyrus bourgaeana) by Brayan Morera, Pedro J. Garrote, Thorsten Wiegand, Daniel Ayllón, Jose M. Fedriani

“…We mapped all reproductive individuals of the Iberian pear (Pyrus bourgaeana) in five plots (1.39–8.57 km2) differing in the activity of seed dispersers and vertebrate herbivores in southern Iberian Peninsula. We used Thomas point process models to quantify the consistency in the spatial pattern and the level of spatial aggregation of this mammal‐dispersed tree among the five populations. …”

Non-invasive analysis of faience necklace beads and scarabs from Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age necropolises in southern Portugal by António M. Monge Soares, António P. Gonçalves, Luis C. Alves, Pedro Valério, Filipe Santos, Rui Monge Soares, Manuela de Deus

“…Moreover, its occurrence in a necropolis located far inland in southern Portugal, accurately radiocarbon-dated to the Late Bronze Age, testifies to an Orientalising trade in luxury products before or just at the time of the foundation of the first Phoenician settlements on the Iberian Peninsula’s coasts. …”

New Detailed Modeling of GICs in the Spanish Power Transmission Grid by J. M. Torta, S. Marsal, J. Ledo, P. Queralt, V. Canillas‐Pérez, P. Piña‐Varas, J. J. Curto, A. Marcuello, A. Martí

“…In this paper, we summarize our current achievements focused on mainland Spain, concentrating on the improvements reached after going from a homogeneous Earth's resistivity to an alternative 3D electrical resistivity distribution approach to geoelectric field computation, which is still in progress because new empirical impedance tensors are needed, mainly at sites in the west of the Iberian Peninsula. The second major achievement has come from the addition of the 220 kV level to the network model. …”

Measurement report: A comparative analysis of an intensive incursion of fluorescing African dust particles over Puerto Rico and another over Spain by B. Sarangi, D. Baumgardner, A. I. Calvo, B. Bolaños-Rosero, R. Fraile, A. Rodríguez-Fernández, D. Fernández-González, C. Blanco-Alegre, C. Gonçalves, E. D. Vicente, O. L. Mayol-Bracero, O. L. Mayol-Bracero

“…The León event occurred in the late winter and spring of 2022, when widespread, elevated layers of dust inundated the Iberian Peninsula. Satellite and back-trajectory analyses confirm that dust from northern Africa was the source of the particles during both events. …”
