Analyzing the Mediterranean Tropical-like Cyclone Ianos Using the Moist Static Energy Budget by Miriam Saraceni, Lorenzo Silvestri, Paolina Bongioannini Cerlini

“…The interplay between vertical and horizontal advection, in particular the upward transport of moist air and the lateral inflow of warm, moist air and cold, dry air, was a key mechanism driving the evolution of Ianos, followed by surface fluxes and radiative feedback. By analyzing what process contributes most to the increase in MSE variance, we concluded that Ianos can be assimilated in the tropical framework within a radius of 600 km around the cyclone center, but only during its intense phase. …”
