- Nota adicional1
- There are at least three somewhat different viewpoints of storms. 1) In synoptic meteorology, a storm is a complete individual disturbance identified on synoptic charts as a complex of pressure, wind, clouds, precipitation, etc., or identified by such mesometeorological means as radar or sferics. Thus, storms range in scale from tornadoes and thunderstorms, through tropical cyclones, to widespread extratropical cyclones. 2) From a local and special interest viewpoint, a storm is a transient occurrence identified by its most destructive or spectacular aspect(s). In this manner we speak of rainstorms, windstorms, hailstorms, snowstorms, etc. Notable special cases are blizzards, ice storms, sandstorms, and duststorms. 3) To a hydrologist, "storm" alludes primarily to the space- and time-distribution of rainfall over a given region.
- Contexto
- Urban hydrologists are interested in rainfall rates, especially during major storm events.
