| Zusammenfassung |
| The general objective of the international MEDiterranean
EXperiment (MEDEX) was the better understanding and forecasting of cyclones
that produce high impact weather in the Mediterranean. This paper reviews the
motivation and foundation of MEDEX, the gestation, history and organisation
of the project, as well as the main products and scientific achievements
obtained from it. MEDEX obtained the approval of World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and can be considered as
framed within other WMO actions, such as the ALPine EXperiment (ALPEX),
the Mediterranean Cyclones Study Project (MCP) and, to a certain extent,
THe Observing System Research and Predictability EXperiment (THORPEX) and the
HYdrological cycle in Mediterranean EXperiment (HyMeX). Through two phases (2000–2005 and 2006–2010), MEDEX has
produced a specific database, with information about cyclones and severe or
high impact weather events, several main reports and a specific data targeting system field
campaign (DTS-MEDEX-2009). The scientific achievements are significant in
fields like climatology, dynamical understanding of the physical processes
and social impact of cyclones, as well as in aspects related to the location
of sensitive zones for individual cases, the climatology of sensitivity zones
and the improvement of the forecasts through innovative methods like
mesoscale ensemble prediction systems. |
