    • Diabatic Heating as a Pathway for Cyclone Clustering Encompassing the Extreme Storm Dagmar 

      Weijenborg, Christian; Spengler, Thomas (Journal article, 2020)
      Contrary to the general notion that extratropical cyclones reduce baroclinicity, the baroclinicity is found to be enhanced in the wake of the extreme winter storm Dagmar. Thus, individual storms can increase baroclinicity, ...
