Tornado v Mahničih

Bandelj, Klemen (author), Natek, Karel (mentor)

Mahniči so manjša vas med Krasom in Vipavskimi brdi v ozki dolini Raše na jugozahodu Slovenije. Imajo zaledno submediteransko podnebje, v katerem v poletnem času nastajajo nevihte (tako vročinske, kot tudi frontalne). Zaključna seminarska naloga opisuje vremensko situacijo 20. in 21.8.2014, potek vremenskega dogajanja v tem času in nastanek tornada, ki se je zgodil 21.8.2014 okoli 2:00. Seminarska naloga opisuje nastanek in pot tornada (s prekinitvami) od Zgonika na italijanski strani meje, do Mahničev, kjer je dosegel največjo moč. S pomočjo fotografij, terenskega dela na dan dogodka in po dogodku ter intervjuji lokalnih prebivalcev je tornado dokazan, ocenjena pa je tudi njegova moč. V zaključku seminarske naloge so podani še predlogi za napovedovanje močnejših neviht v prihodnosti in ocena pripravljenosti meteoroloških služb v Sloveniji na močnejše nevihte in tornade.
