A process-based anatomy of Mediterranean cyclones: from baroclinic lows to tropical-like systems

<p>In this study, we address the question of the atmospheric processes that turn Mediterranean cyclones into severe storms. Our approach applies online potential vorticity (PV) budget diagnostics and piecewise PV inversion to WRF model simulations of the mature stage of 100 intense Mediterrane...
