Summary:
- Medicanes are rare, hurricane-like storms that form in the Mediterranean Sea. They can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding to coastal areas.
- Scientists used data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite to study the structure and behavior of a medicane that occurred in 2020. This helped them better understand how these storms develop and evolve.
- The study revealed that medicanes have a distinct "eye" at their center, similar to hurricanes, which is an important feature for predicting their intensity and path.
