Climate Change and Hurricane-Like Extratropical Cyclones: Projections for North Atlantic Polar Lows and Medicanes Based on CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Observations and Fine-Grid Simulations of a Convective Outbreak in Northeastern Spain: Importance of Diurnal Forcing and Convective Cold Pools
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The life cycle and interactions of a series of convective systems that developed in northeastern Spain during the afternoon of 7 August 1996 are examined based on remote sensing products, surface observations, and numerical ...
Mesoscale Numerical Study of Two Cases of Long-Lived Quasi-Stationary Convective Systems over Eastern Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of mesoscale numerical simulations using the Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research model is used to investigate two cases of extreme precipitation over eastern Spain. Both cases (3?4 ...
A Statistical Adjustment of Regional Climate Model Outputs to Local Scales: Application to Platja de Palma, Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rojections of climate change effects for the System of Platja de Palma (SPdP) are derived using a novel statistical technique. Socioeconomic activities developed in this settlement are very closely linked to its climate. ...
A Hydrometeorological Modeling Study of a Flash-Flood Event over Catalonia, Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the early morning of 10 June 2000, the Catalonia region was affected by a hazardous convective rainfall episode that produced a large increase on flow regimes in many internal catchments of the region. The present ...
Sensitivities of a Flash Flood Event over Catalonia: A Numerical Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 9 and 10 June 2000, the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula was affected by heavy rains that produced severe floods over densely populated areas. The zones most affected were the provinces of Tarragona and ...
HyMeX: A 10-Year Multidisciplinary Program on the Mediterranean Water Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: erranean countries are experiencing important challenges related to the water cycle, including water shortages and floods, extreme winds, and ice/snow storms, that impact critically the socioeconomic vitality in the area ...
