Graduated in Physics from the University of Seville in 1977. Paco Martín joined the former INM, currently AEMET, where he has worked for more than 36 years, belonging to the bodies of Observer, Assistant Meteorologist and Superior Body of State Meteorologists. Francisco has held positions of responsibility within AEMET in the areas of Forecasting. In addition, he has been a professor in training courses for new personnel and courses for updating predictors.
He has been invited by international organisations (WMO, EUMETSAT, some National Meteorological Services of Ibero-American countries, etc.) as an expert in forecasting, nowcasting and early warning systems. Also, he has participated in numerous lectures and informative events in Universities, Masters and Amateur Meetings in Spain and has conducted and coordinated studies on severe weather phenomena within AEMET.
For more than a decade, within Meteored, he has been dedicated to the popularisation of meteorology and its related sciences with the management of the RAM where he is Coordinator.
Rising temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more moisture, which, combined with intensifying storms, should theoretically trigger more destructive downpours. However, when analysing climate model projections, researchers encounter a puzzling phenomenon: some models project much smaller increases in rainfall than thermodynamics alone would predict.
Between 11th and 12th August 2026, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured a series of images of a new crater on the Moon created by the impact of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
The combination of a black hole and an enormous star is a phenomenon never seen before, and could explain the mysterious little red dots that often appear in deep-space images, according to a paper in Nature.
A system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean that shapes regional climates and distributes ocean nutrients also acts as a control mechanism that helps regulate temperatures across the planet, according to new research.
Nearly three decades of airborne radar observations have identified four characteristics that help tropical storms align before intensifying.
As global temperatures rise, scientists have largely assumed that mountain tree species will move to higher elevations in search of cooler conditions. However, the reality is proving to be more complex.
Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by discovering the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the Sun's surface, a finding that could help explain explosive solar activity and other solar phenomena, according to research published in Nature.
Europe's forests are losing more biomass than previously thought, and disturbances such as drought and pest infestations are causing increasingly severe losses in some of Europe's oldest forests. The situation has deteriorated significantly since 2018.
According to Christian tradition, based on the Book of Genesis, this mountain is believed to be the place where Noah's Ark came to rest after the Great Flood described in the sacred text. This is the first time its ice has been studied in such detail.
Winter storms in the south-western Ross Sea have become more frequent and more intense during the study period, with significant consequences.
The following is a summary of a longer Carbon Brief analysis examining the likelihood of 2026 and 2027 becoming the warmest years in modern records, as a historic and potentially record-breaking El Niño event unfolds during 2026–2027.
The effects of climate change on agricultural productivity are far from uniform. Tropical regions are expected to suffer the greatest losses, while some higher-latitude areas could actually see their potential productivity increase. But where does the UK fit into the picture?
While the world watches the equatorial Pacific for signs of a possible "Super El Niño", new research suggests that another tropical ocean could provide important clues about future extreme weather events across parts of the Mediterranean.
Despite rising temperatures at Earth's surface and in the lower atmosphere, the planet's upper atmosphere has cooled dramatically as a result of human influence on the climate.
Radar data from the NISAR satellite show that La Guaira and nearby areas experienced substantial ground displacement as a result of the June 2026 earthquakes in Venezuela.
The first study to directly attribute the retreat of Antarctic glaciers to climate change shows that Pine Island Glacier has been pushed significantly further inland by human-induced global warming.
Tropical Storm Bavi has been named after forming over the tropical Pacific. Numerical weather models indicate that it could strengthen into one of the most extreme tropical cyclones ever forecast for July, potentially becoming a historically powerful and exceptionally large super typhoon.
Two months ago, a historic milestone was reached: SpaceX surpassed 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth, accounting for roughly two-thirds of all operational satellites in space. As it turns out, that's just the beginning.
A recent study revealed that nutrient stress in the world's oceans is strongly correlated with the seasons and major climate cycles such as El Niño and La Niña, among others.
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days, has detected higher and warmer water moving eastwards across the Pacific Ocean.
