In some situations, field positioning of air pressure through development of anticyclone in the north -northeast of Romania and a cyclone in the south-west, create conditions favoring intensifying dynamics of air masses in Oraviţa Depression area. This phenomenon generates a catabatic wind which is known local as Coşava. Mode of expression is as strong intensification of the burst, which gives rise to considerable material damages. This study takes into account the analysis of three cases considered by us to be representative.
In the southwestern part of Romania, in the Oraviţa Depression, which is included in the Banat historical region, there is a low altitude air circulation in the cold season. Under certain conditions of atmospheric pressure, it generates a catabatic wind (Coşava), with strong increases in speed at blast. The wind speed, which often exceeds 10 m / s, causes sometimes-massive damage to property.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
