Alcúdia will host the 4th Plinius Conference on Mediterranean Storms

The Pollentia Club Resort will host from October 2 to 4 the 4th Plinius Conference on Mediterranean Storms, organised by the European Geophysical Society and directed by Agustí Jansa from the Centre Meteorologic Territorial de les Illes Balears Illes Balears of the Instituto Nacional de Meteorología and by Romualdo Romero from the Meteorology Group of the Department de Physics of the UIB, supported by several institutions.

The objective of this Conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the present state of knowledge of storms in the Mediterranean environment, in relation to both their meteorological and hydrological aspects and their coastal and inland effects, such as surges, floods and landslides.

The main focus will be on a better understanding of the involved physical processes, the application of remote sensing technologies to the study and management of these extreme phenomena, and the value of numerical modelling for the predictability of heavy rain and/or strong wind producing storms and for the development of anticipated land responses.
