Supplementary material to "The crucial representation of deep convection for the cyclogenesis of medicane Ianos"

The modelling system developed at CNR-ISAC consists in the hydrostatic model BOLAM (Bologna Limited Area Model;Buzzi et al., 2003) and the non-hydrostatic, fully compressible, convection-permitting model MOLOCH (Local Model in Hybrid Coordinates;Malguzzi et al., 2006) that in the operational practise are nested in cascade.Both model employ a 5 latitude-longitude rotated grid, a terrain following coordinate and they share numerical characteristics such as the threedimensional advection scheme based on a second-order, weighted-average flux implementation (Hubbard and Nikiforakis, 2003).The prognostic variables pressure, virtual temperature, specific humidity, horizontal and vertical wind velocity components, turbulent kinetic energy and five water species are defined on the staggered Arakawa C grid.Also parameterization
