Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mediterranean tropical cyclones are an extremely rare weather phenomenon. These systems are a subject of some debate within meteorological circles whether they closely fit the definition of tropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones, or polar lows. Their origins are typically non-tropical, and develop over open waters under strong, initially cold-core cyclones, similar to subtropical cyclones in the Atlantic Basin. Sea surface temperatures in late-August and early-September are quite high over the basin, though research indicates water temperatures of 20 °C/68 °F are normally required for development. Cold air aloft appears to be the main trigger for instability in the development of these systems. If a "hurricane season" were ever to be demarcated in the Mediterranean, it would extend from August through January, based upon occurrences so far. Meteorological literature documents other Mediterranean Hurricanes occurred in September 1947, September 1969, September 1973, August 1976, January 1982, September 1983, December 1984, December 1985, October 1994, January 1995, October 1996, September 1997, December 2005, September 2006.
