Numerical forecast and analysis of a tropical-like cyclone in the Ionian Sea by S. Davolio, M. M. Miglietta, A. Moscatello, F. Pacifico, A. Buzzi, R. Rotunno

“…The life cycle of the vortex turned out to be characterized by different phases: the orographic cyclogenesis on the lee side of the Atlas Mountains; the initial phase of development, characterised by the critical role played by the surface heat fluxes; the transition to a tropical-like cyclone mainly as a consequence of the latent-heat release associated with strong convective activity over the Ionian Sea; finally, the maintenance of the vortex strength due to both the surface fluxes and the release of latent heat.…”

A geomagnetic reference model for Albania, Southern Italy and the Ionian Sea from 1990 to 2005 by M. Chiappini, S. Bushati, A. De Santis, L. R. Gaya-Piqué, B. Duka, G. Dominici

“…Taking advantage of the measurements undertaken during the Albanian and Italian magnetic repeat station networks since 1990, as well as of a selected set of Ørsted satellite total field measurements, a magnetic reference model for the region comprising the Albanian territory, the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, and the Ionian Sea is presented. The model, designed to model the components of the main geomagnetic field for epochs between 1990 and 2005, has been developed by means of spherical cap harmonic analysis applied to a cap of semiangle 8°, larger than that investigated to take into account the appropriate spatial wavelength content of the main geomagnetic field over the region. …”
