Study of a case of an explosive cyclogenesis in central Mediterranean with the aid of barometric tendency equation
Summary:
In this study the objective is the evaluation of the physical processes which are responsible for the genesis and evolution of an explosive cyclone in the central Mediterranean with the aid of the barometric tendency equation. For this reason, the equation is solved numerically, providing the opportunity to quantitatively specify the relative significance of the diabatic processes in Mediterranean explosive cyclogenesis, contrary to the qualitative approach of previous studies. Our approach allows for the first time a direct comparison of the physical mechanisms between the cyclogenesis over the northern and the southern part of the central Mediterranean. The results demonstrate that the interaction between the upper level baroclinic and low-level diabatic processes triggered the development of the explosive cyclone, but low-level baroclinicity and diabatic processes prevailed during the cyclone evolution.
