SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES
PhD and Postdoc
r Study by means of WRF numerical model simulations of extreme events, with speciflc
focus on floods that affected Liguria Region in past years. Investigation of the role of
different features that were expected to play a fundamental role in, triggering,
development and localization of intense convective system, as microphysieal
parameterization schemes, Sea Surface Temperature, Cloud Condensation Nuclei
nnrrnpntreti^n 1\^/RF -Chem) and atmospheric boundary layer turbulence.
o Energetic appiication of WRF simulations, Mapping of wind and waves potentials of
the whole Nlediterranean basin. Identification of areas where rvind and wave events are
not time-correlated in order to plan coupied energy extraction from wind and waves.
Production and analysis of a 40-years long wind and wave hindcast of the
Mediterranean Ba^sin.
o Evaluation of WRF high resolution simulations performances over complex terrain,
' -finalized to the forecast optimization of wind farms output. Evaluation of the impact of
observed nudging in simulation performances (in progress).
