Rising Mediterranean Sea Surface Temperatures Amplify Extreme Summer Precipitation in Central Europe.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Mediterranean Sea surface warming amplifies Central European precipitation extremes, with the largest increase located southeast of maximum precipitation for both simulated heavy events and historical Vb-events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Record Balkan floods of 2014 linked to planetary wave resonance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the climatic and meteorological factors that influenced the catastrophic flooding in the Balkans, where they focus on large-scale circulation and show that the Vb cyclone was unusually stationary, bringing extreme rainfall for several consecutive days, and that this situation was likely linked to a quasi-stationary circumglobal Rossby wave train.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale heavy precipitation over central Europe and the role of atmospheric cyclone track types.

TL;DR: The analysis of the top 50 precipitation events revealed an outstanding heavy precipitation period from 2006 to 2011 in the Czech Republic, but no gradual long‐term change, and suggests that Atlantic winter cyclones are most relevant for heavy precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climatology of Vb cyclones, physical mechanisms and their impact on extreme precipitation over Central Europe

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclone detection and tracking tool is applied to the ERA-Interim reanalysis (1979-2013) to identify prominent Vb situations and evaluate case-to-case precipitation amounts and assess consistency between the two data sets.

A millennial-long record of warm season precipitation and flood frequency for the North-western Alps inferred from varved lake sediments: implications for the future

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an annually-resolved record of warm season precipitation and summer flood frequency from the varved (annually laminated) sediments of proglacial Lake Oeschinen (46°30′N−7°44′E, 1580m, NW Swiss Alps) back to AD 884.
