1. Impact
| Excerpt |
|---|
A small but vicious frontal wave cyclone sped east across Scotland the N Sea on 29 November, and delivered extreme gusts to parts of Denmark and SW Sweden, with amber warnings in force in the affected areas, and red warnings in Germany. The storm system was also named "Nils II" by the Free University of Berlin, and "Clodagh" by Met Eirrean. Some damage and power outages also affected the UK and Ireland. |
2. Description of the event
Infra-red imagery (above) and indeed several other aspects showed all the hallmarks of a sting jet, and it looks very probable that this was the cause of the narrow swathe of extreme gusts in the worst affected areas mentioned above. Indeed this and the general cyclone evolution seem to fit the conceptual picture and descriptions developed in this recent paper very well: http://www.tellusa.net/index.php/tellusa/article/view/27128
