... what makes some extratropical cyclones produce catastrophically damaging winds.... [Keith Browning and Pete Clark] have identified a mesoscale flow which they call the Sting Jet. It originates in the cloud head of a rapidly deepening cyclone and gathers speed as it descends towards the tip of the cloud head when it begins to hook around the cyclone centre... The Sting Jet was first identified observationally from a reanalysis of the Great Storm of October 1987 where the damaging winds were shown to be emanating from the evaporating tip of the hooked cloud head. It has since been reproduced in high-resolution runs with the mesoscale version of the Unified Model. The Sting Jet is distinct from the usual strong-wind region associated with the warm conveyor belt and main cold front. There are indications that conditional symmetric instability and evaporation both play a role in its formation but the importance of these processes remains to be quantified. 4, record 2, English, - sting%20jet

Sting jets occur in cyclones when there is a dramatic fall in the barometric pressure. ... The sting jet is born at an altitude of three miles, within layers of ascending moist air. As the jet descends, it passes through ice crystals that cool it, increase its density and cause it to accelerate to more than 100 mph at ground level. 5, record 2, English, - sting%20jet

Cette zone de vent très fort résulterait d'une interaction complexe entre des processus dynamiques et microphysiques à l'extrémité nord-ouest du système nuageux alors qu'il boucle vers le sud-est pour revenir vers le centre de la dépression («retour d'est»).

Le «retour d'Est» a des conséquences précises suite à l'interaction du jet avec la topographie de certaines régions d'Europe, ainsi les conséquences seront différentes d'une région à l'autre (même à l'intérieur d'un continent); toutefois, la configuration générale des dépressions et des circulations atmosphériques qui leur sont associées étant similaires dans toutes les latitudes moyennes de l'hémisphère Nord, la notion de retour d'Est devrait aussi s'appliquer au Canada.

occlusion : zone nuageuse et pluvieuse caractérisée par le rejet en altitude de l'air chaud d'une perturbation. Cette limite de masses d'air résulte de la jonction du front chaud et du front froid d'une même perturbation (front chaud rattrapé par le front froid), ce qui donne naissance à une zone nuageuse et à des précipitations, assez intenses près du centre de la dépression associée, et de moins en moins marquées dans la partie la plus éloignée. 2, record 2, French, - courant%2Djet%20d%27occlusion
