“Diving” cyclones and consequences of their impact on the coasts of the South-Eastern Baltic Sea
A generalization of historical data for more than 40 years on destructive cyclones observed on the coast of the South-East Baltic Sea has been made. According to the trajectories reconstructed using the HYSPLIT calculation model, cyclones with a northern trajectory, the so-called “diving” cyclones, were identified.
