“…MM5 model, which was adapted to the Black Sea region in MHI, was used for retrospective studies of individual mesoscale atmospheric processes and extreme events -quasitropical cyclone of 25-30 September 2005 [Efimov et al, 2008], breeze circulation [Efimov, Barabanov, 2009], precipitation leading to extreme floods in the Crimean rivers [Ivanov et al, 2012b]. The results of MM5 and WAM models calculations were used to analyze the conditions of formation of the 12-meter rogue waves on 1 February 2003, near Gelendzhik [Ivanov et al, 2012a]. Verification of models using direct measurements in the Black Sea region was discussed in [Shokurov, 2011].…”
