Abstract:Cut-off Lows (COLs) are mid-latitude storms that are detached from the main westerly flow. They tend to propagate slower than other mid-latitude storms and are often harbingers of heavy and persistent rainfall. The assessment of COLs in climate models is relatively limited, in fact, there are no studies conducted on the future changes of COLs within climate models. Given the importance of COLs in leading to severe hazards, here we study them in CMIP6's future (SSP5.85) simulations. The results show that COLs w… Show more
