Objective identification and climatology of mesoscale high-wind features within extratropical cyclones

Strong winds accompanying extratropical cyclones are commonly associated with various mesoscale features. This work introduces RAMEFI (RAndom-forest-based Mesoscale wind Feature Identification), an objective and flexible identification approach based on key surface characteristics to distinguish these features. RAMEFI is further applied to compile a climatology over Europe, offering a comprehensive analysis of feature frequency, distribution, and characteristics.
