Tornadoes in Ukraine and ecological hazard
Journal Title: Екологічні науки - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
The present paper analyses tornado statistics in Ukraine and their destructive and environmentally hazardous consequences. A new merged catalog of tornadoes of all types and intensities was created containing 6298 tornadoes up to 2017. Over 430 of these records correspond to Ukraine territory. The geographic distributions of tornadoes and tornado observation frequency in Ukraine was mapped. Satellite imagery analysis was used to determine the main structural and quantitative characteristics of forest destruction by tornadoes in forest areas in north of Kyiv and west of Chernihiv oblasts. 20 forest destructions by tornadoes were identified, 18 of those correspond to tornadoes previously unregistered in catalogs. In low-populated regions of Ukraine 90-95% of destructive tornadoes with EF1+ intensity according to enhanced Fujita–Pearson scale are undetected and not recorded.
