Perturbing the potential vorticity field in mesoscale forecasts of two Mediterranean heavy precipitation events

Perturbing the potential vorticity field in mesoscale forecasts of two Mediterranean heavy precipitation events

In order to improve the quality of the Mediterranean high-impact weather (HIW) numerical predictions, this study proposes to modify the potential vorticity (PV) field of the model initial state, taking advantage of information provided by the water vapour (WV) channel of the METEOSAT-7 satellite. Th...
