Predictability of intense rain storms in the Central Mediterraneanbasin: sensitivity to upper-level forcing

This study investigates the sensitivity of a moderate-intense storm that occurred over Calabria, southern Italy, to upper-tropospheric forcing from a Potential Vorticity (PV) perspective. A prominent mid-troposheric trough can be identified for this event, which occurred between 22–24...
