Compound extremes, which involve extremes in two or more meteorological parameters,
have received little attention until now. We present a new global climatology of compound …

Abstract During 15–21 September 2020, an intense medicane, named Ianos, formed over
the warm Mediterranean Sea. Following a path of approximately 1,900 km, Medicane Ianos …

Abstract The first Special Observation Period (SOP1) of HyMeX (Hydrological cycle in the
Mediterranean eXperiment) was held in fall 2012 and focused on heavy precipitation events …

Several warm‐core cyclones in the Mediterranean, which were analyzed in the literature,
are studied using ERA5 reanalysis, to identify the environment where they develop and …

Large dust storms in the Saharan desert and the subsequent transport of airborne dust over
large distances are a major meteorological hazard. Several mechanisms associated to dust …

The present work analyzes the synoptic, thermodynamic, and microphysics characteristics of
two Mediterranean cyclones that occurred in February–March 2023. The analysis is mainly …

Tropical-like cyclone (TLC or medicane) Ianos formed during mid-September 2020 over the
Southern Mediterranean Sea, and, during its mature stage on days 17–18, it affected …

Abstract Using a 20-year (2002− 2021) dataset of daily precipitation collected by 107 rain
gauges in the period from October to May, this study introduces a classification of the main …

Mediterranean hurricanes (Medicanes) are characterized by the presence of a quasi-cloud-
free calm eye, spiral-like cloud bands, and strong winds around the vortex center. Typically …

This study aims at understanding how deep convection is organized and contributes to the
intensification of nine Mediterranean tropical‐like cyclones which developed between 2005 …
