Abstract: The energetics of a frontal depression initially formed in the Gulf of Genoa is studied. The partition of available potential energy and kinetic energy into zonal and eddy components is adopted. The energy equations, as ...

Abstract: An analysis of the energetics of an extratropical baroclinic depression is performed. The approach is based on the computation of the components of an energy flow for an open atmospheric region in which this disturbance ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study performed within the framework of the European Union?s (EU) VOLTAIRE project (Fifth Framework Programme). Among other tasks, the project aimed at the integration of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...

Abstract: AbstractAfter extensive efforts over the course of a decade, convective-scale weather forecasts with horizontal grid spacings of 1?5 km are now operational at national weather services around the world, accompanied by ...
