## Abstract This paper revisits the mechanism for the interaction of the boundary layer with extratropical cyclones. Two diagnostic approaches are compared: Ekman pumping and potential vorticity. Ekman pumping derives from the boundary layer stress which induces convergence and ascent. boundary lay

## Abstract Intense wind events at the southern Brazilian coast cause severe socioβeconomic losses. Generally, such events have been associated with extratropical cyclones over the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. The purpose of this study is to identify favoured locations and the processes through which
## Abstract In order to examine the dependence of the ensemble forecast spread on model uncertainty, we use the model gridβpoint spacing and the index of shallowβconvection top as surrogates for model uncertainty, to construct two groups of ensemble forecasts (βexperimentsβ). In each ensemble, we u
