This thesis is an investigation of cut-off low pressure systems over South Africa. These weather systems have been responsible for many of the flooding disasters that have affected South Africa, particularly the coastal regions, over recent decades. The thesis has two main objectives, namely, to construct a 30-year climatology of cut-off lows over South Africa, and to further understanding of the evolution of the low-level flow that leads to these systems producing extreme quantities of rainfall. 2014-08-13T19:54:55Z 2014-08-13T19:54:55Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6504 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
