Sea:
➡️ a westward branch toward the Gulf of Taranto, contributing to the reversal of the Northern Ionian Gyre;
➡️ a southward branch toward the Kerkyra–Kefalonia Valley, directly ventilating the deep Hellenic Trench and playing a key role in deep-water renewal. 4/5

The analysis of this huge amount of data has shown that dense waters formed in the Adriatic Sea followed two distinct pathways once they flow through the Otranto strait into the Ionian 3/5

In this work, the data from the Adriatic Observatory Network has been employed to investigate the dynamics and processes of the intense dense water formation events which take place in the Adriatic during the harsh winter 2016–2017 2/5

Not only a modeller..

Glad to share a new article where I’m co-author:

CYCLOPs: a Unified Framework for Surface Flux-Driven Cyclones Outside the Tropics Abstract. Cyclonic storms resembling tropical cyclones are sometimes observed well outside the tropics. These include medicanes, polar lows, subtropical cyclones, Kona storms, and possibly some cases ...

Like in the Tropics, CYCLOPs pose a significant threat and forecast challenge for islands and coastal regions, and the likely effects of climate change on the systems should be considered

although they use #potential #intensity #locally #generated in the course of their development instead using that one present in the #pre-#storm #environment

are analyzed showing that these systems (collectively identified in the manuscript as #CYCLOPs) have morphologies and structures similar to #tropical #transitioning #cyclones

Here several cases of cyclonic #storms resembling #tropical #cyclones such as :
▶️ #medicanes
▶️ #polar #lows
▶️#subtropical #cyclones
▶️#Kona #storms
▶️some cases of #East #Coast #Lows)

Delighted to share a newly #publication in #Weather and #Climate #Dynamics led by K. Emmanuel (#MIT) where I have been listed as co-author with several colleagues that I met during the #Tropicana initiative in #Paris the last year.

This study shows that #Indian #Ocean #variability may influence the early #winter #weather in #Europe and in the #Mediterranean and this can find significant application in improving #sub-#seasonal to #seasonal #forecasts in the area. 5/5

in the local #Eady #Growth #Rate driven by stronger temperature contrasts between the north and south part of the #European-#Atlantic-#Mediterranean region, which produce significant changes in the #vertical #wind #shear.

In particular we observe a decrease in the #storm #activity over the Eastern Atlantic and Western Mediterranean linked to changes 3/5

Using simple linear regressions we showed that IOD variability triggers in December a #NAO-like pattern over the #Atlantic altering the frequency and intensity of precipitation events at mid-latitude. 2/5

🎆 🎇 Fresh from the Press 🎇 🎇

Glad to share my new publication where we assessed the response of the #atmospheric #circulation over the #Atlantic and #Mediterranean to the variability of the #Sea #Surface #Temperature variability in the #Indian #Ocean measured by the #IOD index. 1/5
