A large number of intense cyclones occur every year in the Mediterranean basin, one of the
climate change hotspots. Producing a broad range of severe socio-economic and …

The ALADIN System is a numerical weather prediction (NWP) system developed by the
international ALADIN consortium for operational weather forecasting and research …

Heavy precipitation (HP) constitutes a major meteorological threat in the western
Mediterranean (WMed). Every year, recurrent events affect the area with fatal consequences …

The case of the heavy precipitation event on 14 and 15 October 2018 which has led to
severe flash flooding in the Aude watershed in south-western France is studied from a …

The mountainous snow cover is highly variable at all temporal and spatial scales. Snowpack
models only imperfectly represent this variability, because of uncertain meteorological …

Numerical atmospheric dispersion models (ADMs) are used for predicting the health and
environmental consequences of nuclear accidents in order to anticipate countermeasures …

The problem of icing on wind turbines in cold climates is addressed using probabilistic
forecasting to improve next-day forecasts of icing and related production losses. A case …

The success of ensemble data assimilation systems substantially depends on localization,
which is required to mitigate sampling errors caused by modeling background error …

The weather-regime-dependent predictability of precipitation in the convection-permitting
kilometric-scale AROME-EPS is examined for the entire HyMeX-SOP1 employing the …

Translation of ensemble predictions into high-precipitation warnings is assessed using user-
oriented metrics. Short-range probabilistic forecasts are derived from an operational …
