Mediterranean hurricanes: large-scale environment and convective and precipitating areas from satellite microwave observations
Subsynoptic scale vortices that have been likened to tropical cyclones or polar lows (medicanes) are occasionally observed over the Mediterranean Sea. Generated over the sea, they are usually associated with strong winds and heavy precipitation and thus can be highly destructive in islands and costa...
