| Inspired by the concept of biodiversity used by biologists and ecologists, the concept of meteodiversity has been proposed as the variety of different types of meteorological phenomena occurring within a defined area in a certain period (Mazon and Pino, 2017). In a similar way that the term biodiversity, meteodiversity takes into account the proportion of each one of the individual meteorological phenomenon belonging to the main type of phenomena occurring in a defined area. A discussion about the benefits and the importance of using this concept is argued.
For this quantification, the index named meteodiversity index is proposed, which includes large number of atmospheric variables obtained from instrumental and observational records, as well as events and phenomena. By using climatic data provided from the European Climate Assessment and Dataset project, the project will consist in analyze the evolution of the meteodiversity index in Europe during the last century, and to study its spatial distribution among the different climatic areas. |

| Overview (resum en anglès): | |
| The aim of the project is to study how the Meteodiversity Index have distributed over Europe between 1950 and 2000. To develop the research, 7 meteorological variables have been obtained from the data of 23 meteorological stations across Europe.
The paper includes an analysis of the sensitivity of the Meteodiversity Index to changes in the inputs. Then, the evolution of the Meteodiversity Index is studied, both by climate type, according to Köppen climate classification system, and by geographical location. Finally, in the light of the results, another analysis is performed to determine the relationship between the Meteodiversity Index and the climatic tendencies of Europe. Once all data is processed and analyzed, the conclusions of the research are presented and future work on this topic is proposed. |
