10 Principles of Administrative Sanctioning Power

A) Principle of Legality

The sanctioning power of Public Administrations can only be exercised when it has been expressly recognized by a rule with the status of Law.

There is no uniform jurisprudence, although it is partially understood that procedural matters are not reserved

An Overview of Atmospheric Modeling

1. What are Barotropic Models?

Models were developed to be used in the first electronic calculators, which were developed in the USA in the 1940s. These are the simplest models and are based on what is known as the “barotropic assumption.” This assumption states that the isobaric surfaces of constant pressure coincide with the surfaces of constant density. Consequently, the gradient is zero, and the isobaric geostrophic wind does not vary with height. With this hypothesis, the EDP system is reduced
