Cold outbreaks at the mesoscale in the Western Mediterranean basin: from Raincells to rainbands

This paper investigates cold outbreaks that form offshore density currents within the whole mesoscale over the Western Mediterranean basin. Reflectivity radar and satellite images are used to detect clouds and precipitation that are associated with these density currents in the meso- 훼 ,meso- 훽 , an...
