“…Theoretical studies of moist baroclinic waves using linear and nonlinear models and different latent heating parameterizations have demonstrated that diabatic processes increase the growth rate and lead to a contraction of the region of ascent (Mak 1982;Emanuel et al 1987;Whitaker and Davis 1994). An increase in moisture results in an enhanced cyclone intensification rate, a decrease in the minimum central pressure, and an increase in precipitation and extreme surface winds (Booth et al 2013).…”

“…Examples of strongly diabatically influenced, explosively intensifying cyclones include the Queen Elisabeth II storm in 1978 (Anthes et al 1983;Gyakum 1983a,b), the Presidents' Day storm in 1979 (Bosart 1981;Atlas 1987;Whitaker et al 1988), the Scamp storm in 1987 (Reed et al 1992;Stoelinga 1996), Lothar in 1999 (Wernli et al 2002;Rivière et al 2010), and, more recently, Xynthia in 2010 (Fink et al 2012;Liberato et al 2013;Ludwig et al 2014). In their mature stage, most of these cyclones were associated with a pronounced PV tower, with the low-level positive PV anomaly resulting from intense condensational PV production.…”

“…Danielsen, 1964;Shapiro, 1980;Holton et al, 1995;Stohl et al, 2003), and the extratropical cyclone life cycle (e.g. Uccellini et al, 1985;Sanders, 1988;Whitaker et al, 1988;Barnes and Colman, 1993;Lackmann et al, 1997). For a detailed review of the first half-century of research on ULJFs the reader is directed to Keyser and Shapiro (1986).…”

“…A number of studies, including Uccellini et al (1985), Sanders (1988), Whitaker et al (1988), Barnes and Colman (1993) and Lackmann et al (1997), have demonstrated the role of upper tropospheric frontogenesis in the development of surface cyclones. These studies suggested that the ageostrophic transverse vertical circulation associated with a dynamically active ULJF not only provides the cross-stream differential subsidence required to intensify the upper level front, but simultaneously steepens and lowers the dynamic tropopause below the jet core.…”
