Klaus – an exceptional winter storm over northern Iberia and southern France
Abstract The synoptic evolution and impacts of storm ‘ Klaus ’ that affected Europe on 23–24 January 2009 are assessed. Klaus was the costliest weather hazard event worldwide during 2009. Peak wind gusts reached 55ms ‐1 (107kn), accompanied by heavy rain, snow and flooding across Northern Iberia and...
