| Zusammenfassung |
| The Western Mediterranean in general and Catalonia in particular are usually affected
by high impact weather (HIW) events, mainly heavy rain (HR) and strong wind (SW).
The improvement in the understanding and the accurate forecast of such events are major
concerns for the meteorologists of the region.
In the present study, HR and SW events in Catalonia are cross-referenced with an objective
cyclone database for a 9-year period (from June 1995 to May 2004). Results show that
in most of the HR events a cyclone is located close to Catalonia, in such a way that the
feeding of a moist flow to the affected region was favoured. These cyclones can be either shallow
and weak or deep and intense. A simultaneous cyclone also appears to be connected with
many SW events. However, other SW events seem to be related to
meso-scale circulations and, as a result, not always well captured in the cyclone
database. Finally, coincident HR and SW events are analysed. In almost all of such events
a deep cyclone is located in the vicinity of Catalonia. |
