In accordance with the provisions in Article 5.4.1 of Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Convention; and with articles 5.5 of Regulation (UE) nº 996/2010, of the European Parliament and the Council, of 20 October 2010; Article 15 of Law 21/2003 on Air Safety and articles 1.4 and 21.2 of Regulation 389/1998, this investigation is exclusively of a technical nature, and its objective is the prevention of future civil aviation accidents and incidents by issuing, if necessary, safety recommendations to prevent from their reoccurrence. The investigation is not pointed to establish blame or liability whatsoever, and it’s not prejudging the possible decision taken by the judicial authorities. Therefore, and according to above norms and regulations, the investigation was carried out using procedures not necessarily subject to the guarantees and rights usually used for the evidences in a judicial process. Consequently, any use of this report for purposes other than that of preventing future accidents may lead to erroneous conclusions or interpretations. This report was originally issued in Spanish.

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.

  • Evaluation of the Tourism Climate Index in the Canary Islands
    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.
