Delorme, Robert (Meteo-France)
Mediterranean basin sometimes is the center of violent storms in very deep lows -the warm core storms-. These lows are clearly apart from lows usually met under temperate latitudes -included Mediterranean sea- and are related to tropical cyclones.
The fourteen situations noticed in Mediterranean allow to draw some conclusions about their way and period of formation and privileged areas of deepening.
Means placed today at forecasters' disposal give a better forecast of these dangerous freaks weather.
