Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper was to apply the Calculus Cyclone Identification (CCI) objective method (Catrina et al., 2017) in identifying and tracking a Mediterranean Cyclone, which influenced the weather in Romania. The event from 7-12 March 2017 was analyzed taking into account all meteorological parameters that led to the generation, evolution and movement of the cyclone. It was identified in the North Adriatic Sea and affected Romania after three days by precipitation associated to its frontal peripheries. For the validation of the cyclone identification and its trajectory, diagnostic maps from global numerical models (ECMWF and GFS) were analyzed, as well as the regional model (ALARO). In addition, satellite imagery (EUMETRAIN) analysis and real observational data recorded at the meteorological stations of the Romanian National Meteorology Administration were used. The results proved that the CCI can be used to forecast the formation and evolution of Mediterranean Cyclones affecting Romania.
