Cyclonic activity in Yugoslavia and surrounding areas

Abstract

A precise statistics of the cyclones in Yugoslavia and surrounding areas for the period 1951–1960 has been made. By that statistics eight different cyclogenetic regions in South Europe have been identified. They are: the Gulf of Genoa, the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Northern Adriatic, the Southern Adriatic, the Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, the Panonean Lowland and the Walachian Plain. Further, some features of cyclonic activity in the cyclogenetic regions such as the frequency of cyclogenesis, as well as the distribution, the duration and the intensity of cyclones have been discussed.
