Sumario:This thesis aims to improve the knowledge and understanding of the role of land-atmospheric interactions on the climate system, focusing on the study of the evapotranspiration fluxes. We also investigate en detail the precipitation processes over some particular areas of the European continent. Currently, atmospheric models represent the most accurate technique to forecast meteorological conditions. For that reason, here, it is employed as a primary tool the widely known regional meteorological model WRF-ARW. The results show the importance of the recycling processes and the impact of using a fully coupled hydrology-atmospheric modelling system on the climate of Europe.
