Mediterranean cyclones

Conveners: Emmanouil Flaounas (Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Greece), Assaf Hochman (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)

This session will delve into the most recent research on Mediterranean cyclones at weather and climate scales. Our dedicated session aims to bring together leading experts, researchers, and decision-makers to explore the dynamic and complex nature of cyclonic systems in the Mediterranean region. From unraveling the intricacies of their formation to understanding the profound impacts on local weather patterns and climate variability, this session promises an in- depth examination of these atmospheric phenomena. Abstracts can encompass modeling, theory, or observational studies, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of Mediterranean cyclones. Submitted abstracts will contribute valuable insights into the latest research, innovative methodologies, and breakthrough findings that enhance our understanding of Mediterranean cyclones. This session represents a unique opportunity to actively engage with cutting-edge research, foster meaningful discussions, and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Mediterranean climate studies. This session is jointly organized by MedCLIVAR-SISC and COST- MedCYCLONES
