| The effects of ocean eddies on storm tracks in the Mediterranean Sea |
The proposed study will investigate the effects of ocean eddies on atmospheric storms in the Mediterranean region. It is already established that ocean eddies affect the intensity and the propagation of storms in the Western Boundary Currents, but their effect in the Mediterranean Sea has not been studied. Understanding eddies' effects on the storms in the Mediterranean could improve their representation in climate models and extend weather and climate forecasts skill to longer periods (sub-seasonal to decadal). This may improve our ability to inform farmers about potential risks due to extreme precipitation events.
