| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper presents a preliminary climatology of tornadoes and waterspouts
in Catalonia (NE Iberian Peninsula). A database spanning 60 yr
(1950–2009) has been developed on the basis of information collected from
various sources such as weather reports, insurance companies, newspapers and
damage surveys. This database has been subjected to a rigorous validation
process, and the climatology describes its main features: timing,
spatial pattern, and trends in the tornado and waterspout distribution.
Results show the highest concentration of tornadoes from August to October,
the highest density in the heavily populated coastal areas and a growing
positive trend that is likely more closely linked to an increase in
observation and perception rather than a real climatic trend. |
