Black sea influence on formation of hail-hazardous cumulonimbus clouds in south Moldova
Abstract
The space-time structure of hail-hazardous cumulonimbus clouds evolving on the sea- breeze fronts in northwestern Black Sea coast for the period of 1996-1999 is investigated with the help of MRL-5. A chart of number of days with radio echo of cumulonimbus clouds with radar reflectivity more than 65 dBZ in days with evolution of sea-breeze fronts is obtained. Statistic characteristics of sea-breeze fronts are presented.
