Like in the Tropics, CYCLOPs pose a significant threat and forecast challenge for islands and coastal regions, and the likely effects of climate change on the systems should be considered

although they use #potential #intensity #locally #generated in the course of their development instead using that one present in the #pre-#storm #environment

are analyzed showing that these systems (collectively identified in the manuscript as #CYCLOPs) have morphologies and structures similar to #tropical #transitioning #cyclones

Here several cases of cyclonic #storms resembling #tropical #cyclones such as :
▶️ #medicanes
▶️ #polar #lows
▶️#subtropical #cyclones
▶️#Kona #storms
▶️some cases of #East #Coast #Lows)

This study shows that #Indian #Ocean #variability may influence the early #winter #weather in #Europe and in the #Mediterranean and this can find significant application in improving #sub-#seasonal to #seasonal #forecasts in the area. 5/5

in the local #Eady #Growth #Rate driven by stronger temperature contrasts between the north and south part of the #European-#Atlantic-#Mediterranean region, which produce significant changes in the #vertical #wind #shear.

In particular we observe a decrease in the #storm #activity over the Eastern Atlantic and Western Mediterranean linked to changes 3/5

Using simple linear regressions we showed that IOD variability triggers in December a #NAO-like pattern over the #Atlantic altering the frequency and intensity of precipitation events at mid-latitude. 2/5
