Abstract: The sensitivity of a mesoscale model to different microphysical parameterizations is investigated for two events of precipitation in the Mediterranean region, that is, the Mesoscale Alpine Program (MAP) intensive observation ...

Abstract: Numerical studies by the authors and others of the 1994 Piedmont flood show that the orographically modified flow was a critical element for the production of extraordinary rainfall. To uncover the precise mechanism of ...

Abstract: ne event of a tropical thunderstorm typically observed in northern Australia, known as Hector, is investigated using high-resolution model output from the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for ...

Abstract: Weather forecasting for regions with complex orography, as the Alps, presents several challenges and the task becomes even more difficult when high resolution is required. Moreover, for the Alpine region, some of the ...

Abstract: The University of Basilicata Raman lidar system (BASIL) is operational in Potenza, Italy, and it is capable of performing high-resolution and accurate measurements of atmospheric temperature and water vapor based on the ...

Abstract: The analysis of several precipitation events occurring during June 1990 in the Alpine region is performed using the Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Fifth-Generation Mesoscale Model, ...

Abstract: erranean region is frequently affected by heavy precipitation events associated with flash floods, landslides, and mudslides that cause hundreds of millions of euros in damages per year and, often, casualties. A major field ...
