Bazianos... esse tópico eh pra quem ñ conhece mto bem os tipos de tempestades...

 

Tipos de Tempestades Severas:

 

Gust Fronts

 

A cold downdraft of air and precipitation,

causing sudden wind changes in direction

and velocity, when a storm is about to pass over.

Gust fronts can take many shapes and forms,

from being much invisible except for a

precipitation curtain, to highly turbulent dust

clouds near the ground. The gust front is usually

very transient in form: it travels fast and

changes appearance quickly.

Haboobs

 

A haboob is a duststorm or sandstorm as they

sometimes occur in the deserts. The outflow

of cool air from thunderstorms can create

similar duststorms, when the cool downdraft

of air reaches ground and has to spread out

along the surface. Gustfronts are usually

responsible for these sandstorms.

More generally, haboobs form late in the

evening due to thermal gradients in the lower

atmosphere, caused by extreme daytime heating,

and last one or more hours.

Hail fallstreaks

 

Near the updraft area of a strong or severe storm,

one can usually see hail fallstreaks,

as distinct, white streaks. These streaks

look different (and have higher brightness) than

rain fallstreaks, which tend to be darker.

Falling hail need not always be visible:

especially if the stones are very large, their

number density is low and the hailstreaks are not

seen well or at all.

Roll clouds

 

Storms are sometimes accompanied by arcus,

a roll cloud. Cold air rushes out of a

downdraft and lifts warmer air in front of

the storm complex up to condensation level,

making both a fascinating and menacing sight

while it is approaching at high velocity.

Scud clouds

 

Fractocumulus-like cloud rags, sometimes

appearing in the precipitation region of a

storm. They are caused by condensation of

water vapor in air below the cloud base,

due to the high air moisture in the precipitation region.

Shelf clouds

 

A shelf cloud is similar to lenticularis cloud,

but on a much larger scale. A shelf cloud

sometimes forms ahead of a severe, long-lasting

thunderstorm such as a mesoscale convective system (MCS),

multicell or supercell. Cold downdraft air surges out

along the surface and lifts the (usually conditionally stable)

warm air ahead of the storm up to condensation level.

A smooth shelf-like cloud forms, skirting the thunderstorm.

The shelf cloud is usually accompanied by a gustfront

and sometimes also a roll cloud.

Storm skyscapes

 

This gallery shows some unusual, spectacular or

beautiful skies connected to stormy weather.

The clouds before or after the passage of a storm

can exhibit quite strange forms and shapes,

especially when they are seen around sunset.

Tail clouds

 

A tail cloud is sometimes seen attached to

the wall cloud of a severe thunderstorm.

The tail cloud originates from the area of

the downdraft, which has a high moisture

content due to the precipitation.

Tornados

 

A tornado is a funnel cloud, or vortex,

of spinning air, water vapor and sometimes

dust and debris. The word tornado is usually

reserved for the funnel cloud spawned by

supercell storms; other funnel clouds are

called spouts. Tornadoes can form out of

supercell storms if the updraft (the mesocyclone)

rotates and creates enough air vorticity with

respect to the flanking downdraft area.

This vorticity, if the airflow pattern in the

storm is balanced well, can be enhanced and

concentrated, forming a low-pressure vortex at

the perimeter of the mesocyclone and ultimately

the tornado. The tornado becomes visible below

cloud base due to condensation of the lower pressure air.

Updraft cumulus

 

At well-organized storms, the updraft is

usually visible at the flank of the storm,

where the flanking line connects to the storm

tower. If the storm is severe, one can usually

visually see the updraft cumulus grow towards

the anvil of the storm explosively. Updraft

towers are sometimes accompanied by clear hail

fallstreaks. Generally, the stronger the updraft,

the larger the hail which will fall out of it.

Next to the updraft is usually a downdraft (rainfall).

Updraft turrets

 

In some cases of explosive updraft velocities,

the cumuliform cloud exhibits so-called turrets:

grooves in between cumulus. The cloud then grows

so quickly that the cumuliform cloud has no time

to expand in all directions at once, and the

turrets are formed. Turrets are most frequently

seen high up in the updraft towers in severe

thunderstorms, which are in their maturing phase.

Wall clouds

 

Severe thunderstorms have a well-defined structure

of updraft and downdraft (with precipitation),

situated next to eachother. Cool humid air from

the downdraft may flow to the updraft, moistening

the air and lowering the cloud base under the updraft.

This lowering, the wall cloud, may be enhanced by

large-scale rotation of the updraft itself. Well-defined

wall clouds usually have the form of a straight wall,

more commonly wall clouds look like triangle-shaped

sockets of cloud under the thunderstorm base.

Whale's mouth

 

The whale's mouth-effect is the weird-looking

sky sometimes appearing when the first gust

front of a storm is passing over. The cold

downdraft of air of the storm rushes outward

and forward along the surface, and lifts the

warmer air in the direct vicinity of the storm

over its condensation level. One gets to see

the back side of this mini cold front, and the

inside of the gust front cloud. It looks somewhat

like mammatus and other forms of turbulent cloud

masses, sometimes showing very neat ordering.

Você é extremamente educativo, fico grata pela organização, nem meus livros de tormentas e tornados tem imagens tão lindas! Impressão direta!

 

Obrigadão,

 

Abraços,

 

Jaque,

 

eu q agradeço :D :lol: ... vou fazer o possível pra tirar algumas fotos amanhã... vou tentar pegar os melhores ângulos pra postar no BAZ...

 

abraços

Sequência belíssima!!

As fotos 2,3,4 e 5 são fantásticas, dão a impressão de que a tempestade não tem fim.

 

Saudações

 

Paulo,

 

eh msmo... hehehe :lol: ... adorei essas fotos... por isso postei no BAZ 8) ...

 

abraços
