Abstract: AbstractA recent paper by Mak et al. grants the opportunity to discuss two different definitions of the frontogenetical function proposed in the literature to study the formation and evolution of upper-level fronts. This ...

Abstract: Humidity stratification may affect baroclinic wave growth by inducing vertical confinement in the layer where small amplitude updrafts are saturated. By means of a two-dimensional numerical model the authors show that small ...

Abstract: The intense precipitation event that occurred between 3 and 6 November 1994 and caused extensive flooding over Piedmont in northwestern Italy is simulated and tested with respect to various physical aspects, using a ...

Abstract: ince August 2009, the GLOBO atmospheric general circulation model has been running experimentally at the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC) of the National Council of Research of Italy. GLOBO is derived ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional semi-geostrophic model in isentropic coordinates is applied to the study of internal frontogenesis induced by a geostrophic deformation field. A continuous potential vorticity distribution is considered ...

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: The authors evaluate the performance of current regional models in an intercomparison project for a case of explosive secondary marine cyclogenesis occurring during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Project and the Genesis of ...

Abstract: Demonstration of probabilistic hydrological and atmospheric simulation of flood events in the Alpine region (D-PHASE) is made by the Forecast Demonstration Project in connection with the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP). ...
