Llasat et al. (2014) The snow storm of 8 March 2010 in Catalonia (Spain): a paradigmatic wet-snow event with a high societal impact
This study conducts an interdisciplinary analysis of the extreme wet-snow storm that struck Catalonia (NE Spain) on 8 March 2010, quantifying its high societal impact—primarily due to power line failures caused by wet snow accretion—and proposing a new Wind, Wet-Snow Index (WWSI) to estimate event severity.
