| Résumé anglais |
In spite of interest in the tragedy caused by the media, the exact cause of the storm remains ill-defined. Initially, it was thought to be an exceptional and unpredictable event ; however, a full explanation of the storm's mechanism is possible, taking into account the particularities of the site and, above all, the aerological conditions. Thus the presence of an aerological dam, consisting of a polar mobile anticyclone on the northern extremity of the Alps played an important part in the development of the rain-making processes. This key factor, as well as previous events, prove that the storm of 7.14.87 has to be considered as an infrequent but none the less predictable phenomenon. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
