Aplicación de un método de clasificación sinóptica a la Península Ibérica

This paper introduces a synoptic classification scheme, applied to the Iberian Peninsula. It combines multivariate methods for reduction and classification porpouses, coupled with a manual procedure inspired on a well-known synoptic method. The result is a 51year (1946-1996) daily calendar of synoptic maps classified in 10 patterns. Some climatic and temporal characteristics of such types were checked in order to verify its accurancy.
