The Cádiz city has been one of the focal points of this campaign, which brought together experts from Spain, Norway, Germany, France, and the United States during the second half of July. Scientific teams deployed various measurement instruments to analyze the formation, evolution, and influence of sea breezes on the local climate and meteorology.
The initiative is coordinated by Carlos Román Cascón, a researcher from the Physical Oceanography group at the University of Cádiz. The Sanlúcar City Council collaborated by facilitating the researchers' work and highlighting the value of the city's natural environment for such studies, providing detailed data on coastal meteorology.
The main objective of the project is to improve the understanding of sea breezes, their impact on air quality and thermal comfort, as well as to refine meteorological prediction models. The choice of Sanlúcar and Chipiona is due to their exceptional conditions for research, favoring the occurrence of well-defined sea breeze episodes.
The BRISA-Cádiz project, funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the State Research Agency, aims to obtain crucial new data for the study of climate in coastal areas.
The mayor, Carmen Álvarez, expressed her satisfaction with Sanlúcar's participation, emphasizing the value of its natural environment and the role of the University of Cádiz as a benchmark in physical oceanography and coastal meteorology.
