Climatological analysis of Mediterranean cyclones using ECMWF data
Open accessAbstract
A thoroughly objective method for the definition, selection and tracing of Mediterranean region cyclones is presented. The method is applied to the ECMWF 1982-1987 analyzed datasets to show monthly cyclone frequencies, cyclonic tracks and vertical variation of average relative vorticity. Day-to-night changes and vertical variation of cyclonic frequencies/vorticities indicate the importance of the sea thermal effect in the eastern Mediterranean. In the western Mediterranean and to a lesser extent in the Cyprus region, the lee cyclogenetic effect is very pronounced. Monthly cyclone tracks are presented and they clearly indicate the preferred routes of cyclonic movements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
