Meteorological data

Meteorological hourly data from Mitra’s (from 04/1994), Reguengos’s (from 04/1994), Divor’s (from 04/1994), Monte Novo’s, Portel’s and Évora-city’s meteorological stations , are made available by CGE, which is the Responsible Research Unit for the maintenance of their weather stations in collaboration with the Institute of Agronomic and Mediterranean Sciences (ICAM), concerning  Reguengos’s meteorological station.

In all the above meteorological stations, hourly meteorological data are measured (dry and wet air temperatures or dry air temperature and air relative humidity, wind speed and direction at 3m above the ground surface, precipitation, global solar irradiance, total net irradiance at ground level; in some of the meteorological stations above mentioned (Mitra’s, Évora-city’s and Portel’s stations), hourly measurements of other meteorological (ground temperature at different depths, canopy temperature among others) and radiometric (UV, PAR, Atmospheric and reflected solar radiation) quantities are also carried out.

At Évora-city meteorological station, is located one of the two CGE Atmospheric Physics Observatory platforms, where spectral radiometric measurements concerning atmospheric aerosols, trace gases and clouds as well as measurements of the atmospheric electric field (in “fair” weather)  are made; this platform as well as the other one located at Cabo da Roca, are included in the AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) network shared with NASA (http://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ), being the two unique platforms of this network in Continental Portugal, from which one get obtain, information on the aerosol load and type over Évora and Cabo da Roca sites, in a daily basis.

Seismic Data and Models

3D velocity model of SW Iberia - SWIB2006
The SWIB2006, developed under the project POCTI/CTE-GIN/59994/2004, is based on seismic profiles (refraction/reflection) and all information geophysical and geological available. Details about the model can be found in:
