Related Active Project: SETESTRELO - High-resolution assessment of North Atlantic moisture transport in current climate and CMIP-6 future projections, 2022-2025
The general objective of this project is a high-resolution assessment of the moisture transport in the North Atlantic for current and future climates using ERA5 reanalysis and CMIP6 outputs with increased resolution through dynamic models adjusted to regional meteorology (more details in SETESTRELO link)
