Klaus Scale - Scale to classify extratropical cyclones in Europe

[meteovigo]

Good evening and greetings to all. My name is Rubén Vázquez, I am administrator of Meteovigo, Web of meteorological information. I really like the severe weather. I want to share with you a scale that I have created to classify extratropical cyclones in Europe.

Scale to classify extratropical cyclones in Europe based on their maximum winds and possible damage in populated areas. The scale consists of 5 categories with two previous classified as extratropical depression and extratropical storm. The data are obtained directly from the numerical model GFS and update every 6 hours: 00: 30h, 06: 30h, 12: 30h, 18: 30h. On the scale frequent gusts for days on geographical points where the thresholds are exceeded from the model output shown. The streaks are shown in KMH and MPH.
