Blizzard, wind speed, synoptic processes, geo-information mapAbstract
According to the National Environment Agency data, the cases of blizzards in the period of 2014-2018 on the territory of Georgia are discussed. The existing data on blizzards are analysed, and the distribution of climatic characteristics of blizzards on the territory of Georgia is determined. In particular, the distribution of blizzards cases, wind speed, areas, as well as the type of synoptic processes causing blizzards according to the respective regions and municipalities. Based on the studied data, a geo-information map showing the distribution of blizzards by regions on the territory of Georgia was compiled, which covers the period 2014-2018. Examples of blizzard damage in 2014-2018 on the territory of Georgia are given, which illustrates the scale of the damage caused by the snowstorm and the negative consequences.
