Abstract

This project aims to research the concept of "weather types", widely used in Dynamic Climatology, however their definition and implementation are still significant obstacles to Climatology.In this context, the proposed project aims to study the concept of "weather types" from a history of ideas, seeking their origins and different theoretical concepts and operational related. There is the concern with the delimitation of the spatial and temporal scales of this concept and its integration, aiming at a more adequate understanding of the concept.
