In this research, the circulation weather types (CWTs) associated with individual surface pressure data at different atmospheric heights were used to correlate and quantify soil erosion events collecting soil loss (g m-2), runoff (l m-2) and sediment concentration (g L-1) using field plots and sediment collectors. Representative Mediterranean shrubland, located at Sierra de Enguera (Eastern Spain), was used as a case study where 213 rainfall episodes and related soil loss events were recorded for the 2010-2014 period. Average annual precipitation of 544 mm was registered, summarizing a total of 2,720.1 mm for the five years of the research period. A total of 34.4% of the registered precipitation events ranged from 10 to 29.9 mm, 23.5% from 30 to 49.9 mm, and 15.9% from 50 to 99.9 mm. The dynamic low-pressure with fronts (DLp+f) CWT was found to generate the highest precipitation amount reaching 60.6% of the total precipitation (105 of the 213 events). Over a third (35%) of the precipitation events occurred during Eastern CWT, which accounted for 48% of the total precipitation with average values of 17.6 mm per event. From the total runoff, 65.6% was related to the combined Eastern and cold drops (CD) CWT. The DLp+f CWT was found to produce 48.9% of sediment mobilization, of which 73.5% of this amount was generated by Eastern CWT. The highest sediment concentration event was found for the southern CWT under thermal low-pressure (TLp) reaching 51.65 g L-1, followed by A (anticyclones) with the Eastern CWT (42.23 g L-1). As a whole, the southern is the CWT generating the highest average sediment concentration (28.66 g L-1), followed by Easter CWT. Our findings suggest that CWTs contribute to foreseeing the periods with the highest soil losses and may help to prevent them. We discuss the need to analyse the changes in soil erosion rates due to CWT to better characterize the soil erosion process and assess the soil erosion rates, improve the current soil erosion models and investigate how climate change is changing the role CWT plays in runoff initiation and sediment delivery.
