Synoptic perspective on the conversion and maintenance of local available potential energy in extratropical cyclones [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsExtratropical cyclones are the predominant weather system in the midlatitudes. They intensify through baroclinic instability, a process in which available potential energy (APE) is converted into kinetic energy (KE).

Extratropical cyclones – a forecaster's perspective [PDF]
Meteorological Applications, 1997 AbstractDespite considerable improvements in numerical models in recent years, weather events associated with extratropical cyclones continue to present forecasters with a challenge. For most cyclogenesis events model forecasts display, at the least, subtle errors in track and intensity of the system.

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Impact of Wind Forcing Resolution on Modeled Wave Extremes at the Coastal Boundary
Geophysical Research LettersAccurate wind forcing is essential for modeling extreme wave conditions. This study evaluates how wind resolution influences the representation of maximum wind speeds and the simulation of maximum significant wave heights across two cyclone environments:

Prevention of destructive tropical and extratropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, dangerous thunderstorms, and catastrophic floods [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2002 Tropical cyclones and storms, hurricanes, powerful thunderclouds, which generate tornadoes, destructive extratropical cyclones, which result in catastrophic floods, are the powerful cloud systems that contain huge amount of water.

Interhemispheric perspective on the most extreme surface winds in the storm tracks [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsExtratropical cyclones occur most frequently over the oceans, where they cause the strongest extreme surface winds. In this study, we investigate extreme surface winds during winter months in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, when the wind storms ...

The influence of solar wind on extratropical cyclones – Part 2: A link mediated by auroral atmospheric gravity waves? [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 Cases of mesoscale cloud bands in extratropical cyclones are observed a few hours after atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) are launched from the auroral ionosphere.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Regional deep learning weather prediction (DLWP) models, such as Bris, offer high resolution forecasts comparable with traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. We evaluated Bris against the operational MetCoOp Ensemble Prediction System (MEPS) during extratropical cyclone Poly (July 5, 2023).

Extratropical Cyclones in Idealized Simulations of Changed Climates [PDF]
, 2014 Cyclones are a key element of extratropical weather and frequently lead to extreme events like wind storms and heavy precipitation. Understanding potential changes of cyclone frequency and intensity is thus essential for a proper assessment of climate ...

The Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment and storm Harry in January 2026
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This article introduces the Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment (M3E) – a new project consisting of partners from Europe and the United States – whose main objective is to improve the weather forecasting of extreme events in the Mediterranean region via the deployment of drifting buoys with barometers (shown).
