| Zusammenfassung |
| The baroclinic depression that affected the area of
Cyprus during the cold period, between 28 and 29 January 2008 was thoroughly
studied and is presented in the present paper. A small perturbation on a
northwesterly flow to the north of Cyprus has initiated the generation of
the depression and in 24 h this developed into a deep baroclinic system.
This depression was associated with intense weather phenomena, such as heavy
thunderstorms with hail and near gale force winds. Strong cold advection
resulted in a significant temperature decrease; precipitation even in lower
altitudes was in the form of snow, while the accumulated rainfall
corresponded to the 25% of the monthly normal. January 2008 is considered
as a dry month, despite the fact that, on the average, January is considered
as the wettest month of the year. In this study, the evolution and
development of the depression was investigated from synoptic, dynamic,
energetic and thermodynamic perspectives, in order to enhance our knowledge
on the life cycle and behaviour of similar depressions over the area with
extreme characteristics. |
