Interaction of North Atlantic baroclinic wave packets and the Mediterranean storm track
Abstract Observational studies show that the main energy source for developing cyclones is due to downstream radiation from existing upstream disturbances. This process is involved in the propagation of coherent wave packets linking the North Atlantic and Mediterranean storm tracks in winter. To und...
