Can hot water discharged from industrial processes enhance the likelihood of waterspouts?
Valerio Capecchi, Bernardo Gozzini, Mario Marcello Miglietta
Italy and the surrounding seas are recognised as one of the European hotspots for tornadoes and waterspouts. In recent years, the town of Rosignano Solvay (on the Northern Tyrrheni…
FATE -- an operational automatic system for optical turbulence forecasting at the Very Large Telescope
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Luca Fini +5
In this contribution we report the on-going progresses of the project FATE, an operational automatic forecast system conceived to deliver forecasts of a set of astroclimatic and at…
Assimilating X- and S-band Radar Data for a Heavy Precipitation Event in Italy
Valerio Capecchi, Andrea Antonini, Riccardo Benedetti +5
During the night between 9 and 10 September 2017, multiple flash floods associated to a heavy-precipitation event affected the town of Livorno, located in Tuscany, Italy. Accumulat…
Reforecasting two heavy-precipitation events with three convection-permitting ensembles
Valerio Capecchi
We investigate the potential added value of running three limited-area ensemble systems (with the WRF, Meso-NH and MOLOCH models and a grid spacing of approximately 2.5 km) for two…
Reforecasting the November 1994 flooding of Piedmont with a convection-permitting model
Valerio Capecchi
The Piedmont region in Italy was affected by a heavy rainfall event in November 1994. On the 4th convective cells involved the coastal mountains of the region. On the 5th and early…
Fractal characterization of rain-gauge networks and precipitations: an application in Central Italy
Valerio Capecchi, Alfonso Crisci, Samantha Melani +2
The measuring stations of a geophysical network are often spatially distributed in an inhomogeneous manner. The areal inhomogeneity can be well characterized by the fractal dimensi…
