In the first study of a series of studies of intense cyclones in the active region around Iceland, the explosive synoptic-scale ‘Greenhouse Low’ that hit Iceland on 3 February 1991 is investigated, mainly through numerical simulations with an NWP model (HIRLAM) but also by careful reanalysis of surface observations and satellite pictures. The cyclone formed in an unusually baroclinic air mass just north of the Azores in the early hours of 2 February 1991.
