High impact weather and cyclones simultaneity in Catalonia
The Western Mediterranean in general and Catalonia in particular are usually affected by high impact weather (HIW) events, mainly heavy rain (HR) and strong wind (SW). The improvement in the understanding and the accurate forecast of such events are major concerns for the meteorologists of the region. In the present study, HR and SW events in Catalonia are cross-referenced with an objective cyc...
متن کاملTowards a systematic climatology of sensitivities of Mediterranean high impact weather: a contribution based on intense cyclones
One of the multiple approaches currently explored to mitigate the effects of hydro-meteorological hazardous events aims at improving the numerical weather forecasts. Under an ever increasing societal demand for cost cuts and more precise forecasts, targeted observations are currently receiving great attention within the operational weather community. The MEDEX project (http://medex.inm.uib.es) ...
متن کاملApplication of Lightning in Predicting High Impact Weather
Recent research has indicated a strong correlation between total lighting data (both in-cloud and cloud-to-ground) and severe weather such as hail and high wind storms. The lightning activities preceding severe storms have certain characteristics in lightning flashes, such as high in-cloud (IC) flash rates in the storm formation stage. The greater volume of strong updrafts during a severe thund...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution and Cloud Modeling: Tropical Cyclones
The Third International Workshop on High-Resolution and Cloud Modeling: Tropical Cyclones and Climate was held at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa from December 2 to 4, 2008. The workshop assessed the current status of highresolution atmospheric models, with a focus on the simulation of tropical cyclones and the connection of tropical cyclones to climate variability and change. Key issues con...
متن کاملImpact of High Resolution Sst Data on Regional Weather Forecasts
1. INTRODUCTION Past studies have shown that the use of coarse resolution SST products such as from the real-time global (RTG) SST analysis[1] or other coarse resolution once-a-day products do not properly portray the diurnal variability of fluxes of heat and moisture from the ocean that drive the formation of low level clouds and precipitation over the ocean. For example, the use of high resol...
