Significantly increased extreme precipitation expected in Europe and North America from extratropical cyclones [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 For the Northern Hemisphere extratropics, changes in the mid-latitude storm tracks are key to understanding the impacts of climate warming, but projections of their future location in current climate models are affected by large uncertainty.

Extratropical Cyclones: A Century of Research on Meteorology’s Centerpiece [PDF]
Meteorological Monographs, 2019 AbstractThe year 1919 was important in meteorology, not only because it was the year that the American Meteorological Society was founded, but also for two other reasons. One of the foundational papers in extratropical cyclone structure by Jakob Bjerknes was published in 1919, leading to what is now known as the Norwegian cyclone model. Also that year,

Global Hotspots of Stalling Extratropical Cyclones
Geophysical Research LettersExtratropical cyclones (ETCs) are primary drivers of extreme weather in the mid‐to‐high latitudes. We introduce a new classification of particularly impactful events—“stalling” ETCs—defined by slow movement combined with intense precipitation.

The contribution of the strength and structure of extratropical cyclones to observed cloud–aerosol relationships [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Meteorological conditions may drive relationships between aerosol and cloud-related properties. It is important to account for the meteorological contribution to observed cloud–aerosol relationships in order to improve understanding of aerosol–cloud ...

Cloud-radiative impact on the dynamics and predictability of an idealized extratropical cyclone [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2023 Extratropical cyclones drive midlatitude weather, including extreme events, and determine midlatitude climate. Their dynamics and predictability are strongly shaped by cloud diabatic processes. While the cloud impact due to latent heating is much studied,

Overview and first results of the Wind and Storms Experiment (WASTEX): a field campaign to observe the formation of gusts using a Doppler lidar [PDF]
Advances in Science and Research, 2018 Wind gusts are responsible for most damages in winter storms over central Europe, but capturing their small scale and short duration is a challenge for both models and observations.

Future changes in compound explosive cyclones and atmospheric rivers in the North Atlantic [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsThe explosive development of extratropical cyclones and atmospheric rivers plays a crucial role in driving extreme weather in the mid-latitudes, such as compound windstorm–flood events.
