A deep cyclone of African origin over the Western Mediterranean: diagnosis and numerical simulation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 From 19 to 22 December 1979, a deep cyclone evolved over the Western Mediterranean. Gusty winds of more than 30 m/s, as well as a strong pressure decrease to about 990 hPa were recorded in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). ECMWF analyses
