| Sumario: | The present paper describes a study of synoptic meteorological situations in the Strait of Gibraltar area. It is a well-established fact that, as a direct result of its topography, the surface winds at Gibraltar are usually easterly or westerly, and blow directly towards the end of the Straits, where the pressure is lower. Therefore, a classification of 15 main major synoptic situations is proposed, based exclusively on surface pressure distribution, taking into account their respective frequencies from 1985- 1990 according to the daily meteorological bulletins of Spain's Instituto Nacional de Meteorología. The effect of each one of these synoptic situations on the resulting surface wind at the Strait is also analysed, using wind data recorded at the Planta Experimental Eólica de Tarifa (near Cadiz), from June 1987 to December 1989. |
