Spatial distribution of severe local storms in the eastern region during the period 1980-2022

Abstract

Due to the notable socioeconomic damage caused by Severe Local Storms (TLS), their study is of vital importance from a scientific and social point of view. The objective of the research is to represent through maps the spatial distribution of severe local storms in the eastern region, in the period 1980 - 2022; From the review of the Meteorological Notes prepared by the Provincial Meteorological Centers, a table of reports was created, where they were organized and processed, which included the geographical coordinates of each locality where there were reports, organized in Office Excel to be processed with Quantum Gis, the result of which is shown with the output of the different maps representing the general spatial distribution of severe local storms and manifestation of severity. An effective tool is provided to increase the effectiveness of the Meteorological Surveillance Systems that are provided in the easternmost region of the country.
