Last January 26, 2009 a storm produced to itself with winds dede 150 kilometers winds for hour and blasts of up to 200 kilometers per hour. It was an impressive storm. This weekend might take place a very similar situation
The Headquarter of Civil Protection and Emergencies of the Department of the Interior they have activated the alert maxim for this weekend before the very strong winds with hurricane-force gusts that might reach even 160 km/h and storm in the sea. This is what has happened in calling the ‘perfect thunderstorm’ and, in technical, terms ‘”ciclogénesis plosive’”.
L to ciclogénesis plosive is “a slightly habitual meteorological phenomenon, which grows with extraordinary rapidity and which there raises the fury of the wind and of the sea. The experts call it ciclogénesis explosive, although also he is met like ‘The perfect Thunderstorm’. It is a meteorological phenomenon that takes place on having shocked a mass of warm air, with other one of cold air. The meeting of the different masses of air, it develops quickly a deep storm in a very short period, giving place to very intense winds and strong rains. The effects of a Ciclogenesis Explosiva can be very devastating and similar to those of a tropical cyclone.”
“The thunderstorm, also called a Cyclone of Half a Latitude, begins in a front parked between two masses of warm and cold air. These two air masses will move in opposite directions, what a necessary horizontal cizalladura creates so that the instability takes place. The cyclonic flow begins about the mentally disturbed section of the stationary front.”
“This atmospheric phenomenon already had a winter precedent in the Cantabrico: on December 27, 1999. That date wind gusts measured themselves in Cantabria to ‘peaks‘ of up to 172 kilometers per hour. A few characteristics similar to those of the storm of December 27, 1999, which came to Cantabria with a pressure of 972 millibars and gusts of 172 km/h measurements in Major End. The excellent precedent would be the surada that swooped down on February 16, 1941 on Santander, day of the frightening fire. It is anticipated that the winds went on from 180 kilometers per hour, but the hurricane rendered useless the measurement devices. In the speed 'ranking' of the wind, to these records 161 km / h would happen measured on October 3, 2006, or 140 km/h of March 8, 2007.”
Soon we will know if the predictions are fulfilled.
