Hi #fellows ffrom #mastodon!
here some research recently published the effects of #climate #change on (i) #extratropicalstorms #cyclones crossing the #mediterranean region and (ii) on the #marine #ecosystems of the Mediterranean Sea

Future projections of Mediterranean cyclone characteristics using the Med-CORDEX ensemble of coupled regional climate system models - Climate Dynamics

Here, we analyze future projections of cyclone activity in the Mediterranean region at the end of the twenty-first century based on an ensemble of state-of-the-art fully-coupled Regional Climate System Models (RCSMs) from the Med-CORDEX initiative under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5. Despite some noticeable biases, all the RCSMs capture spatial patterns and cyclone activity key characteristics in the region and thus all of them can be considered as plausible representations of the future evolution of Mediterranean cyclones. In general, the RCSMs show at the end of the twenty-first century a decrease in the number and an overall weakening of cyclones moving across the Mediterranean. Five out of seven RCSMs simulate also a decrease of the mean size of the systems. Moreover, in agreement with what already observed in CMIP5 projections for the area, the models suggest an increase in the Central part of the Mediterranean region and a decrease in the South-eastern part of the region in the cyclone-related wind speed and precipitation rate. These rather two opposite tendencies observed in the precipitation should compensate and amplify, respectively, the effect of the overall reduction of the frequency of cyclones on the water budget over the Central and South-eastern part of the region. A pronounced inter-model spread among the RCSMs emerges for the projected changes in the cyclone adjusted deepening rate, seasonal cycle occurrence and associated precipitation and wind patterns over some areas of the basin such as Ionian Sea and Iberian Peninsula. The differences observed appear to be determined by the driving Global Circulation Model (GCM) and influenced by the RCSM physics and internal variability. These results point to the importance of (1) better characterizing the range of plausible futures by relying on ensembles of models that explore well the existing diversity of GCMs and RCSMs as well as the climate natural variability and (2) better understanding the driving mechanisms of the future evolution of Mediterranean cyclones properties.

Himiwari 8 Vis Composite shows are decent looking Extratropical Cyclone or Australian East Coast Cyclone forming just off the coast of Victoria, I haven't looked at the synoptic chart but by image alone my guess is Extratropical as it doesn't appear tropical enough to be a subtropical cyclone which Australian East Coast Lows are.

Btw here is a playlist of footage, satellite video, and documentaries about Synoptic Cyclonic Windstorms though most will be Tropical Cyclones giving those storms are my favourite type and thus I tend to focus on more.

PL: Cyclonic Windstorms(Tropical, Subtropical, Extratropical) ― https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyF0SZSNWZZxYvXAtYOGT21uIB-cUIIoJ

Description: A collection of videos on Cyclonic windstorms, on the ground, and space view as well as Documentaries & Docudramas. Cyclonic windstorms in this playlist will be defined as Synoptic Scale Cyclonic windstorms, and will not included smaller meteorological phenomenon like Supercells, or Tornadoes.
Tropical Cyclones (aka Typhoons, Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, or Cyclones depending on their intensity and location of occurence), Subtropical Cyclones (aka Hybrid Cyclones, Subtropical Storm, Tropical-Baroclinic Cyclones, Australian East Coast Lows/Cyclones), Polar Lows/Polar Hurricanes [Actually a mesoscale cyclone but will be included here], and Extratropical Cyclones (Nor'esters, European Windstorms, Bomb cyclones)

That Complex Extratropical Cyclone and Trough System near the Southern Part of the Tasman Sea is the reason even here in Tropical Queensland we're experiencing Gales (which are often called Tropical Storm forced if dealing with a Tropical Cyclone) and why it is a bit cooler than normal.

The reason I said Complex Extratropical Cyclone is it has 3 Low Centers, and 3 Troughs associated with it.
