Contributo alla conoscenza della flora somala
1984
Nell'ambito di ricerche sulla flora dell'Africa orientale è stata accertata la presenza di alcune specie nuove per il territorio somalo. Nel presente contributo vengono segnalate nel distretto di Mogadiscio tre graminacee, rinvenute in habitat sinantropici. Si tratta in particolare di Perotis hildebrandtii Mez e Cenchrus setigerus Vahl, nuove per l'intero territorio somalo, e di Aristida protensa Henrard, sinora nota in una singola stazione della Somalia nord-orientale.
Land surface air temperature retrieval from EOS-MODIS images
2014
The knowledge of the spatial and temporal patterns of surface air temperature (SAT) is essential to monitor a region's climate and meteorology, to quantify surface exchange processes, to improve climatic and meteorological model results, and to study health and economic impacts. This letter analyzed correlations between SAT and geophysical land surface variables, mainly land surface temperature (LST), to establish operative techniques to obtain spatially continuous land SAT maps from satellite data, unlike data provided by meteorological station networks. The correlations were analyzed by using EOS-MODIS images, meteorological station network data, and geographical variables. Linear regress…
Un modelo no hidrostático global con coordenada vertical basada en altura
2015
Memoria presentada en la Universitat de València para optar grado de de Doctor Esta tesis documenta la investigación que he realizado en modelización atmosférica: se parte de las ecuaciones físicas de la atmósfera y se aplican métodos numéricos eficientes para encontrar una solución a dichas ecuaciones a partir de unas condiciones iniciales dadas. Para este fin, se ha desarrollado un modelo atmosférico cuyas características principales son: espectral en la representación horizontal de los campos, discretización vertical de alto orden de exactitud, y semi-implícito en la integración temporal. Además, el modelo es no hidrostático y tiene una coordenada vertical basada en altura, en vez de la …
A multi-agent system for managing adverse weather situations on the road network
2010
The development of traffic management and control strategies to improve traffic flows and road safety is necessary due to the high dynamism of traffic flows. The use of distributed intelligent systems can help the traffic organizations and the road operators to cope with possible incidents on the road network, especially when the incidents are related to adverse meteorological conditions. In that case, the probability of road accidents is increased due to the difficulty of driving under bad weather conditions. So, if the operators detect any meteorological incident, they must decide how to deal with it in order to improve traffic safety. In this paper we introduce a new multiagent system (M…
La mineria y mineralogía del Reino de Valencia a finales del periodo ilustrado (1746-1808)
2009
Los sucesivos gobiernos borbónicos de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII desarrollaron programas destinados al fomento de la ciencia y la tecnología, con el objetivo de modernizar el país y estimular su crecimiento económico. Estas políticas favorecieron el desarrollo de las ciencias experimentales como la mineralogía y de técnicas como la minería. La necesidad de estos conocimientos estaba estrechamente relacionada con el interés mostrado por la Corona en la investigación y explotación de los recursos minerales, valorados como instrumento de modernización económica. La mineralogía que como otras muchas ciencias había surgido durante este siglo, vivió a finales del mismo un espectacular proce…

Lakoff & Johnson lettori di Blumenberg? Le analogie tra metaforologia e teoria della metafora concettuale
2022
This paper aims at showing the analogies between Hans Blumenberg’s Metaphorology and George Lakoff & Mark Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Starting from the analysis of the proportion for which ABSOLUTE METAPHOR: METAPHORICAL EXPRESSIONS = BACKGROUND METAPHOR: CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR, we propose to compare Blumenberg’s Metaphorology with Lakoff & Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory, outlining similarities and differences in reference to: (a) the fundamental notions on which the two theories are based, (b) the methods and (c) the relationship between language-thought-culture assumed by the two theories. However, the reconstruction of the relation between the two theoretical paradig…
Simulation of surface energy fluxes and meteorological variables using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS): Evaluating the impact of land…
2018
Atmospheric mesoscale numerical models are commonly used not only for research and air quality studies, but also for other related applications, such as short-term weather forecasting for atmospheric, hydrological, agricultural and ecological modelling. A key element to produce faithful simulations is the proper representation of the soil parameters used in the initialization of the corresponding mesoscale numerical model. The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is used in the current study. The model code has been updated in order to permit the model to be initialized using a heterogeneous soil moisture and temperature distribution derived from land surface models. Particularly, RA…
A Simultaneous Observation of Lightning by ASIM, Colombia-Lightning Mapping Array, GLM, and ISS-LIS
2021
The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) on the International Space Station (ISS) provides optical radiances and images of lightning flashes in several spectral bands. This work presents a lightning flash simultaneously observed from space by ASIM, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor on the International Space Station (ISS-LIS); and from ground by the Colombia-Lightning Mapping Array (Colombia-LMA). Volumetric weather radar provides reflectivity data to help to interpret the effects of the cloud particles on the observed optical features. We found that surges in radiance in the band at 777.4 nm appear to be related mostly with lightning processe…
