LOS SISTEMAS CONVECTIVOS DE MESOESCALA Y SU INFLUENCIA EN LA ESPAÑA MEDITERRÁNEA
Abstract
One of the problems still being posed by climatology is the one referred to the storms and intense rains. In Spain, starting 1983, thanks to the intensive use of meteorological geostational satellites, it has been evidenced that in numerous occasions the torrential precipitations of the occidental Mediterranean has been associated with compact, isolated connective cloudy structures, of great extension, known as Mesoscale Connective Complexes according to terminology of North American Maddox (1980). This factor seems to be decisive in the genetic explanation of intensive convective rains in the Mediterranean area.Downloads
