Heathrow Airport In 2015 the UK’s biggest airport was just 41,969 passengers short of breaking the 75 million annual traffic barrier. Heathrow Airport has announced a £2m (€2.6m) plan to ‘go electric’ with the installation of more than 135 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in a bid to become Britain’s most environmentally- responsible transport hub. The new chargers, which will be able to power at least 260 electric vehicles at the airport at any one time, are the latest in a line of new sustainability commitments aimed at reducing emissions at the airport. Lisbon Airport Passed the 20 million annual passenger mark for the first time in its history during 2015. ANA’s Lisbon Airport, part of the VINCI Group, became the latest gateway to sign up to Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM) in a bid to improve its efficiency and operational performance.

However, we faced significant capacity limitations, so these infrastructure developments were crucial – and not just for Madrid, but for Spain and indeed for Europe. We now have the capacity to move up from being Europe’s fifth-ranked airport, and indeed it is something we have been able to achieve as we are now fourth in the first quarter of 2007,” Marin replied. Previously, Barajas had hourly runway capacity of 78 movements per hour with passenger mgrowth of about 8% a year. “The full benefits of the new capacity have really been felt with the advent of the winter season when we have been able to offer 90 movements per hour.

    sustainability Article Evaluation of the Tourism Climate Index in the Canary Islands Silvia Alonso-Pérez 1,*, Javier López-Solano 1,2, Lourdes Rodríguez-Mayor 3 and José Miguel Márquez-Martinón 1 1 School of Architecture, Universidad Europea de Canarias, 38300 La Orotava, Spain; [email protected] (J.L.-S.); [email protected] (J.M.M.-M.) 2 Centro de Investigación Atmosférica de Izaña, Agencia Estatal de Meteorología, 28071 Madrid, Spain 3 Independent Researcher, 28001 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In this study, we performed a diagnostic and evolutive analysis of the bioclimatology of the Canary Islands, an Atlantic archipelago where the climate itself is a main feature promoting tourism. Among all the tourist-climate indices described in the literature, we evaluated the most widely used, which is the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) proposed by Mieczkowski (1985). Monthly mean TCI time series were calculated using meteorological data from the Spanish State Meteorological Agency database and the European Climate Assessment and Dataset. Our results show TCI values greater than 50 during almost every month in the period 1950–2018, with mean values over the entire time series between 70 and 80. According to the TCI classification scheme, these values correspond to a very good thermal comfort along all of the period. Our results also point to spring as the season with the best TCI, with maximum values around 80 for this index in April—excellent according to the TCI classification. However, we did not find a correlation between inbound arrivals and the TCI index, which might point to a lack of information available to tourists.

    Analysis of the Influence of Synoptic Conditions on Precipitation in the Canary Islands

    Universidad de La Laguna Final degree project Analysis of the influence of synoptic conditions on precipitation in the Canary Islands. Roc´ıo Esmor´ısParga Supervised by Dr. Albano Gonz´alezFern´andez Dr. Francisco J. Exp´ositoGonz´alez June 12, 2019 Abstract The present work analyzes the atmospheric synoptic conditions which mainly affect rain episodes over the Canary Islands. The main aims are to assess the reliability of two databases used to determine the weather in the Canary Islands and to study the phenomenological distribution of rain episodes. To achieve these aims is especially important to keep into account 3 specific features of the Canary Islands. First, their particular location: close to the African continent in a transition area from mild to tropical temperatures affected by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Azores High. Second, the common weather conditions: the archipelago is considered as a dry and very stable area, having over 50 raining episodes per year on average. Third, its steep orography: altitude varies more than 3000m in less than 20km horizontally. After setting these features, a phenomenological classification is given. A total of 4 atmospheric disturbance phenomena are classified: Deep Atlantic Lows (DAL), Atlantic Surface Lows (ASL), upper Atlantic Lows (UAL) and Troughs (TRO) are the considered phenomena used to characterize the Canary Islands weather. The phenomena which are not possible to include in any of these categories are included in No detection type (ND, None). Using some online resources, such as the AEMET database ARCIM´IS, and Meteo Centre Reanalysis, a set of 104 cases of heavy rain (>30mm episodes) is analyzed to better understand the particular situations in the atmosphere.
