Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0477-0796 Spatio-Temporal Domains of Wildfire-Prone Teleconnection Patterns in the Western Mediterranean Basin 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This work explores the main climate teleconnections influencing the Western Mediterranean Basin to outline homogeneous fire-prone weather domains combining cross-correlation time series and cluster analysis. We found a zonal effect of the Scandinavian pattern over the entire region with an interesting alternation of phases from positive during winter-spring (increased rainfall leading to fuel accumulation) to negative (dry conditions) modes during summer controlling burned area and fire size. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) dominates the number of fires over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) while the Western Mediterranean Oscillation pattern modulates fire activity over the Mediterranean coast in the IP (linked to westerly winds), Southern France, Corsica and Sardinia (rainfall regulation). These distinctive influence traits resulted in three different domains splitting the IP into a Mediterranean rim along the coast (from southern Spain to southwestern France) and an inland and western region (Portugal plus western Spain); and a third in southeastern France, Corsica and Sardinia. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-sa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.es 5.576 2021 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 25 / 202 = 0.124 2021 Q1 T1 1.857 2021 Geophysics 2021 Q1 Earth and Planetary Sciences (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 8.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mariani M.
