“…Milrad et al (2014) studied 1663 precipitation cases in Canada and classified 10% of the strongest ones into four types: cyclones and strong weather-scale quasigeostrophic uplift, warm front precipitation, cold front precipitation, and little synoptic or mesoscale quasigeostrophic uplift. Many studies have indicated that rainstorms are triggered by mesoscale convective systems (Cohuet et al, 2001;Moore et al, 2003;Schumacher and Johnson, 2005;Zhou, 2009;Mastrangelo et al, 2011;Riesco Martín et al, 2013), and some studies have even reported that rainstorms are affected by mesoscale convective vortices (Fritsch et al, 1994;Trier and Davis, 2002;Ullah and Gao, 2013). Meanwhile, research has also shown that topography plays a very important role in the formation of convective rainstorms.…”

“…Furthermore, heavy precipitation events with lightning activity in the Mediterranean areas of Iberia have been attributed to low-level instability. In these episodes, instability was not captured by instability indices with upper limits above 500 hPa (as usual), but it emerges when the 700 hPa level is considered (Riesco-Martín et al, 2013). CGF occurrences may also be anomalously large in some rare mesoscale convective systems (as squall lines and supercells).…”

“…A escala local, el estudio de lluvias copiosas y/o intensas, dentro de este ámbito, ha estado orientado principalmente hacia el análisis de las situaciones sinópticas que las generan. Existen multitud de estudios sobre episodios de precipitaciones fuertes y/o copiosas en el ámbito mediterráneo español, en muchos casos asociadas a la presencia en altura de depresiones aisladas de niveles altos (DANAs) (e.g., Capel Molina, 1974Molina, , 1989Conesa García, 1985;Quereda y Obiol, 1991;Ramis et al, 1994;Olcina, 1999;Pascual et al, 2001;Calvo et al, 2001;Homar et al, 2002;Llasat et al, 2002;Genovés y Jansà, 2003;López y Arán, 2005;Oliva et al, 2006, CEAM, 2007Riesco et al, 2013;Senciales y Ruiz-Sinoga, 2013). Destacan, en este sentido, las aportaciones de Capel Molina (1974Molina ( , 1989Molina ( , 1990) en relación con las inundaciones ocurridas en la fachada mediterránea desde Andalucía oriental (Málaga) a Cataluña, y en particular las producidas en torno al río Segura y el Levante almeriense.…”
