Abstract: A cyclogenetic event in the western Mediterranean (4?5 March 1982, during ALPEX-SOP) is diagnosed using an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation. The spatial scale separation is applied to investigate ...

Abstract: We present a detailed study of an objective technique based on the structure function. This technique is used to extract quantitative information of the structures present in meteorological fields and is useful as an initial ...

Abstract: The inflow of Atlantic water through the strait of Gilbraltar usually exhibits a stationary wavelike pattern in the Alborán sea. We use an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation to investigate the ...

Abstract: We describe a simple and economic method for reducing the errors that can result from the irregular distribution of data points in linear interpolation schemes that use prescribed, isotropic weighting (IW) functions. The ...

Abstract: A diagnostic evaluation of three project ANOMALIA case studies involving heavy precipitation in the western Mediterranean region has been carried out. The evaluation shows the unique characteristics of each event, as well ...

Abstract: The influence of vegetative cover on the development of mountain waves is analyzed using a two-dimensional meso-? model. The model includes a detailed representation of surface fluxes and friction that evolve in time as ...

Abstract: A mesoscale numerical model with parameterized moist convection is applied to three cases involving heavy rainfall in the western Mediterranean region. Forecast precipitation fields, although not perfect when compared to ...
