Moisture Sources for the Explosive Cyclogenesis of Extratropical Cyclone Miguel (2019) through a Lagrangian Approach

In this study, the moisture sources for explosive cyclogenesis Miguel that occurred during 4–9 June 2019 in North Atlantic were investigated. To determine sources, Lagrangian FLEXPART particle dispersion model was used. The uptake pattern revealed western Ocean extending to north-western America, south-eastern coast of Greenland, and central around 45° N 50°–20° W as main cyclogenesis. Furthermore, from these regions higher than climatology. During intensification Miguel, contribution oceanic terrestrial sources. Although total amount atmospheric achieved similar absorbed 24 h prior, they changed intensity geographically, being more intense local support over northern basin.
