Liguria region is historically affected by severe hydro-meteorological events often resulting in dramatic death tolls and large socio-economic impacts. On 7-8 October 1970, Genoa, region capital city, was struck by the most catastrophic flood event of its history. On the evening of 7 October pre-frontal storms affected the western side of the...

The characterization of the hydro-meteorological extremes, in terms of both rainfall and streamflow, and the estimation of long-term water balance indicators are essential issues for flood alert and water management services. In recent years, simulations carried out with meteorological models are becoming available at increasing spatial and...

The paper shows the analysis of the spatial scale of rainfall produced by a back-building Mesoscale Convective System. • The analysis is conducted combining rain gauge and radar observations. • The results show that the spatial scale is of the same order of (or lower than) the density of rain gauge networks. • This may significantly impact the...

Climate change in the Mediterranean region is manifesting itself as an increase in average air temperature and a change in the rainfall regime: the value of cumulative annual rainfall generally appears to be constant, but the in- tensity of annual rainfall maxima, between 1 and 24 h, is in- creasing, especially in the period between late summer...
