Una aproximación a la caracterización climática de un sector de la montaña central cantábrica

Abstract

An rapprochement to the climatic characterization of a sector in the cantabrian central mountain. This article deals a climatic characterization of a mountain massif group included in Cantabrian central mountain. As starting point are utilized rainfall and thermal normalized data obtained of the SIGA (Service of Agrarian Geographical Information) and the data of 25 poles of measurement snow thickness (EHRIN program). The information treated using statistical techniques (multivariate and Cluster analysis) in order to modelling spatially the results with a geographical information system. In the paper are analyzed the different variables that intervene, their validity and their relation with the elements that resulted determinants in their explanation: altitude, latitude, longitude, aspect, slope or distance to the watershed or to the sea.
