| Zusammenfassung |
| Flooding is a consequence of the prevailing
meteorological situation, the intensity and duration of precipitation,
geomorphology, human activities over a geographical region and other
factors. Floods result in damage and destruction of infrastructure and
private property and, in some cases, in fatalities. Flash floods are sudden
and quite localized in extend, characterized by excessive amounts of
rainfall within a short period of time and are distinguished from other
floods by their degree of severity. The broader knowledge concerning flash
floods is useful for the better understanding of the underlying
thermodynamic and dynamic mechanisms, as well as the associated physical
processes. The wider understanding of flashfloods can form part of an
integrated system for short and very short forecasting of these events. In
the present study, the synoptic, dynamic and thermodynamic conditions during
the development of a baroclinic depression which affected the area of Cyprus
on 6 November 2005 are studied. The depression was associated with extreme
weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms, a water spout and high
precipitation accumulations. The results indicate the importance of the
dynamic parameters in the system's development and the thermodynamic
analysis has shown the convective potential of the atmosphere. |
