Simoom - a squally wind, fine distill massive amounts of sand and dust.Its temperature is very high, sometimes reaching up to 50 degrees at zero, the maximum 10 percent humidity.Translation of the term "sandstorm" like poison.
Vile wind
Nowadays, almost all of the desert, and those where the raging sandstorm, which is North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, crossed highways.In the sky often fly planes, satellite communications, and there are emergency situations.Therefore, despite the more than impressive sight, caused a flurry of these, experts say that the rumors about the mortal danger sandstorm exaggerated.However, in 1805 the caravan, consisting of 1 800 camels and 2,000 people, has brought sand sandstorm and destroyed it.This is confirmed by the testimony of many writers.And Herodotus, who called the red sandstorm wind tells about the death of the army of the king of Babylon, the conqueror of Egypt, the son of Cyrus the Great - Cambyses of the Achaemenid dynasty.This occurred in 522 BC.At the head of his army of Cambyses he came from Damascus, but home and did not return.Not surprisingly, the sandstorm is synonymous with "sea of blood".Although under the blood of this phrase, the authors imply, rather color sandstorm.
Features flurry
rises to hundreds of meters up the sand is most often red hue.However, fixed and yellow and white and even blue sandstorm.The only advantage, in addition to an impressive spectacle, is that the wind rushes, without touching the ground.That is, between the solid and dust storms carrying a breakneck pace smallest dust and sand, piercing eyes, ears and respiratory tract, there is a small gap in which a man fell, covering clothing, guaranteed to survive.Unless, of course, do not suffocate in the heat of 50 degrees with little or no access to air.Planes patrolling the sky can not see through the darkness of the unwary traveler.
Specificity
Simoom phenomenon - it is very dangerous, because the duration of the squall up, usually 2-3 hours, and the storm itself can last for several days.Therefore, going on a journey through the desert, it is desirable to know the long-term weather forecasts and be familiar with the rules of conduct in case of contact area sandstorm.Time these winds - spring, summer, often in July, the direction - south, south-west, the front sometimes up to several kilometers.There he is, as a rule, due to the strong heating of the soil, causing the warm air rises rapidly, and his place is cold, that is, there is a local cyclone, which contributes to the emergence of sandstorm.It is also called "singing" because an hour before the storm heard a loud noise, the resulting rubbing against each other grains.First, far above the clean horizon appears a small black dot, and after a while there is a flurry of pylepeschany in which the sky is black.Even photographs of the city of impending sandstorm cause fear.
Simoom - it's very fast
It should be noted that as a result of climate change in our day phenomena such as sandstorm, participation in several times.So if, for example, in Mauritania, early in the year happened two, maybe three sandstorm, but now their number reaches 80. The word "sandstorm", as mentioned above, is translated as poison, poisoned, that is destructive.It is fair characterization of dry and hot, surrounded by a halo of dark desert storm.And it sounds beautiful and mysterious!There is a book Vedeneyeva "Samum - the wind of the desert," is the show "Operation" Samum "."One of the heroes of "The Alchemist" by P. Coelho turns from a shepherd named Santiago in the wind Simoom.Wild speed of this desert storm prompted the organizers of the service for the education and training skorochteniya call it "Samum".That is the best name for the definition of something quick and rapid.
Unparalleled
wild, unbridled power of the wind that pushes people to call his name something powerful and fast.An example is the missile ship "Samum".The first hovercraft or RKVP, the project in 1239 was the catamaran "Bora", which at the time of arrival "sandstorm" at Novorossiysk base is already there.This ship has no equal on the shock potential, since they have a high speed, maneuverability, and a fairly large deck to accommodate an impressive number of weapons.For example, BRD "Osa-MA".
rapid and unique
missile ship "Samum" was built at the plant "Red metalworker" Zelenodolsk city in 1992.Now it belongs to the 166 th Division 41 th separate brigade of missile boats BSF.This catamaran air cushion is unique.By main features include 36 possibilities of using propulsion plant that is guaranteed to provide the course of a ship in any circumstances.Catamaran can reach speeds up to 50 knots per hour."Samum" - a boat that has no analogues in the world, except for "Bora" and "Steller sea lions", made on the same project - 1239. The rate of these catamarans twice the rate of any surface ship.Rockets placed on board are set out in full combat readiness within 30 seconds.All these and other unique qualities entitle themselves sailors call these boats sea destroyers.The ship is brought to the target, destroying it and disappear from the zone of reciprocal destruction.Recently missile boat "Samum" returned to the base of the Mediterranean, where he first was on alert.
indispensable in crop
speed and swiftness of desert storms gave reason to call them a name and a desiccant, helping to accelerate the maturation of plants."Samum" - herbicide belonging to the pin, which dries the leaves and stems of the plants on the vine.Dehydrating them, it promotes rapid maturation of seeds.Herbicides (literal translation - "killing the grass") in strict observance of amounts not only to destroy the weeds, but also stimulate early growth and maturation of plants.Full name of the desiccant - "Samum 150.R.".It can also be used as a contact and systemic herbicide continuous action for the destruction of weeds.The action of this drug is extremely fast.In addition, it promotes uniform maturation of seed.
