Abstract The generation of cyclone climatologies has recently received a renewed interest. Cyclones are closely related to the climate certain regions, and thus, their variability is one key points in current research. Mediterranean region with high density cyclones, but due its location particular morphology, cyclones subject large spatial seasonal variability. Moreover, some hazardous weather events, particular, heavy precipitation strong winds. Improved knowledge would contribute...

Abstract. Many cyclone detection and tracking methods (CDTMs) have been developed in the past to study climatology of extratropical cyclones. However, all CDTMs different approaches defining centers. This naturally leads track climatologies with inconsistent physical characteristics. More than that, it is typical for produce a non-negligible number tracks weak atmospheric features, which do not correspond large-scale or mesoscale vortices can differ significantly between CDTMs. Lack...

Abstract This is the second part (statistical approach) of a work concerning relationship between heavy rain and cyclonic centres in western Mediterranean. Using statistical approach we seek to verify indirect role cyclone locating, triggering or focusing rain: centre –even if neither strong nor deep –may contribute low‐level flow organisation so creation intensification warm wet current that can feed sustain convective favourable environmental conditions. The foundation for several Several...

Abstract An automated procedure has been developed to detect and select mesoscale cyclones describe their tracks by means of the numerical analysis model, HIRLAM(INM)‐0.5°, operational at Spanish Institute Meteorology (INM). This gives us a description features these cyclones, such as frequency appearance, geographical distribution horizontal dimensions, it also enables study movement evolution cyclone centres. was in order obtain an database Mediterranean cyclones. To check performance this...

Abstract. Tropical-like cyclones rarely affect the Mediterranean region but they can produce strong winds and heavy precipitations. These warm-core cyclones, called MEDICANES (MEDIterranean hurriCANES), are small in size, develop over sea infrequent. For these reasons, detection forecast of medicanes a difficult task many efforts have been devoted to identify them. The goals this work contribute proper description structures some criteria from numerical weather prediction (NWP) model...

<title>Abstract</title> On 22 January 2021, an active squall line embedded within cyclone Hortense swept across the Balearic Islands, significantly impacting Mallorca and Menorca. The event was characterized by extreme wind gusts, including a 130 km h-1 peak at Palma airport, intensity breaking 50-year record. Consequently, induced outstanding long-lived pressure perturbation, which triggered moderate meteotsunami activity several harbours coastal inlets. Notably, sea-level oscillation of 60...

Multiple high-impact weather events occurred during HyMeX-SOP1, which was intensively monitored by a large number of ordinary and extraordinary observations. The availability special observations offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore these in depth assess the capabilities current numerical prediction tools. In this case, small-scale secondary cyclone formed within prominent that intensified north-western part western Mediterranean IOP18 on October 31, 2012. small system near...

Abstract. Cyclones affecting the Mediterranean region, sometimes related to severe weather events, are often not well represented enough in numerical model predictions. Assessing quality of forecast these cyclonic structures would be a significant advance better knowing goodness this and particularly predictions high impact phenomena. In order estimate cyclone uncertainty operational models, work we compare two databases for period 2006–2007: one from analyses T799 ECMWF deterministic model;...
