Abstract
A North Atlantic storm during the period 9-10 September 1978, known as the QE-II storm because of its battering of the liner Queen Elizabeth II, intensified nearly 60 mb in 24 h. In an effort to explain the common failure of operational models to predict such important cases of cyclogenesis, this paper seeks, through numerical simulations of the QE-II storm, to examine the role of initial data and the important physical processes that led to the intensification of this storm and to study in detail the structure of the model storm.
