TL;DR: A diagnostic evaluation of three project ANOMALIA case studies involving heavy precipitation in the western Mediterranean region has been carried out as discussed by the authors, which shows the unique characteristics of each event, as well as some limited similarities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the environmental characteristics associated with 313 significant convective events in the western Mediterranean using radiosonde ascents made in Mallorca (Spain) and separated them into five groups, based on the observed event (hail, heavy rain, dry, storms with heavy rain and tornadoes). Classic stability indices, as well as values of convective available potential energy and helicity, are considered for each group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess present and future heat wave impacts on human health in Europe using a suite of high-resolution regional climate models, run under SRES A1B scenario.

TL;DR: The Mediterranean Cyclones Study Project (MCP) as discussed by the authors is an example of such a project and has been considered as a part of the MEDEX (Mediterranean Experiment for Meteorological and Environmental Prediction).

TL;DR: In this paper, a heavy rainfall event which produced floods in Catalonia (Spain) during October 1987 is presented, and the synoptic-scale pattern and forcing are studied using objective techniques, while mesoscale features are investigated with satellite imagery and subjective surface analysis.
