Medicanes (Medi-terranean hurri-canes), mesoscale storms with features similar to those of tropical cyclones, are known to occur occasionally over the Mediterranean Sea. Using an approach based on the dynamical downscaling of the NCEP reanalyses, we study in a systematic way the statistical properties of medicanes (decadal and interannual variability, geographical distribution, trends) over the last six decades, and the linkages between the frequency of medicanes formation and synoptic patterns.
