Abstract: AbstractA novel statistical?deterministic method is applied to generate thousands of synthetic tracks of North Atlantic (NA) polar lows and Mediterranean hurricanes (?medicanes?); these synthetic storms are compatible with ...

Abstract: It is often observed that, despite the existence of near neutrality to slantwise convection, rainbands and snowbands can persist for long periods with narrow intense updrafts producing large quantities of precipitation in ...

Abstract: Fifteen cases of banded and nonbanded precipitation not associated with surface frontal regions are presented. Results from the linear perturbation and parcel theories of symmetric instability are compared to the observed ...

Abstract: The very limited instrumental record makes extensive analyses of the natural variability of global tropical cyclone activities difficult in most of the tropical cyclone basins. However, in the two regions where reasonably ...

Abstract: realistic representation of the North Atlantic tropical cyclone tracks is crucial as it allows, for example, explaining potential changes in U.S. landfalling systems. Here, the authors present a tentative study that examines ...
