“…A heavy rainfall pattern was apparent, taking into account the type of weather which it generates; in addition, it differs from that reported for other Mediterranean areas including Catalonia (Martin Vide et al, 2008) and Valencia (Camarasa Belmonte et al, 2010, 2014. Therefore, Facing the purely Mediterranean pattern of these sites in the south of Spain (Alboran Sea) there is a contrast between the Atlantic and subtropical patterns, as previously reported by Peña Angulo et al (2020). This duality has been analyzed in general terms in numerous studies (Pons and Soriano, 1994;De Luis et al, 1997;Pascual et al, 2001;Martin Vide, 2004;Llasat et al, 2005;Neppel et al, 2007;Rodrigo and Barriendos, 2008;Lana et al, 2009;Turco and Llasat, 2011;, as has the atmospheric dynamics that is generally involved in such events (Martín et al, 2006;Martin Vide et al, 2008;Camarasa et al, 2010Camarasa et al, , 2018Camarasa et al, , 2020Peña Angulo et al, 2020).…”
