This article reviews the current state of knowledge of sting jets (SJs) in extratropical
cyclones. SJs were formally identified in 2004 by the pioneering work of Keith Browning …

By way of introduction to the TELLUS thematic cluster on outcomes of the IMILAST project
(Intercomparison of MId-LAtitude STorm diagnostics), this paper presents the results of new …

Extra-tropical windstorms are one of the costliest natural hazards affecting Europe, and
windstorms that develop a sting jet are extremely damaging. A sting jet is a mesoscale core …

The influence of microphysical processes on the upper‐level flow features associated with
an extratropical cyclone is investigated with the ECMWF global atmospheric model. A …

Many fundamental concepts of synoptic-scale extratropical dynamics are based on the quasi-
geostrophic equations of a dry atmosphere. This “dry dynamics” provides the essential …

North Atlantic midlatitude cyclones are among the most severe weather systems, causing
enormous economic damages and threatening human lives. The cyclone is typically …

The Linkage between the Warm and the Cold Conveyor Belts in an Idealized Extratropical
Cyclone in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 71 Issue 4 (2014) Jump to Content …

Strong winds equatorward and rearward of a cyclone core have often been associated with
two phenomena: the cold conveyor belt (CCB) jet and sting jets. Here, detailed observations …

Extratropical cyclones dominate autumn and winter weather over western Europe. The
strongest cyclones, often termed windstorms, have a large socio-economic impact due to the …

A high-resolution version of the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model has been
used to study the fine structure of a cloud head and its associated cold conveyor belt jet (CJ) …
