You know that that Nilocia person is a sockpuppet. It's someone who happened to take the page. WP:TROP agreed that I should have the page in my userspace because it is a very controversial topic, and shouldn't have a wikipedia page. Nilocia took it for no random reason...
I don't get why.
but.. I do not know why.. I remember that these Mediterranean Tropical Cyclones page originally it was Hurricanehink (2 yars ago..) ?
"These systems are a subject of some debate within meteorological circles whether they closely fit the definition of tropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones, or polar lows".. This common sentence is incorrect, is wrong.. they are Not polar lows.
That the Mediterranean Tropical Cyclone is ugual Karl'80, Vince'05 or Grace'05. Not be a doubt.
Many Mediterranean tropical like Cyclones occured over sea surface (18-27°C) most warm Karl'80, Vince'05 or Grace'05 (24-17°C).
They can be intensity of tropical depresssion, tropical storm or hurricane (very rare), but they cause flooding, damage and fatalties.
It obvious that these small tropical cyclones they are occured for tropical transition. (K.Emanuel: cutoff cold low is an ideal embryo in which a Mediterranean tropical cyclone can be produced).
''Tropical transition refers to the dynamic and thermodynamic transformation of disturbances of sub-tropical or extratropical origin into tropical cyclones.
This is often synonymous with a transition from a cold-core cyclone to a warm-core cyclone ''.
September 1983 hurricane produced 104 km/h wind over Cagliari (Sardinia) but it strength the next day over balearic sea (26°C sea surface). Probably the wind exceded 110 km/h.
October 1996 hurricane in the center thyrrenian sea produced 145 km/h wind, many damages, floods and 3 deads over Eolian Islands(23-24°C sea surface, like Vince).
January 1995 hurricane have 975 hpa and 140 km/h wind (German ship METEOR). It moved over 17-18°C sea surface (Grace moved over 20-17°C sea surface). These Mediterranean tropical cyclones be equal Karl November' 80, Vince October '05, Grace October '09 and many others. The Mediterranean sea it's only a short part of the Atlantic Ocean.
