Abstract
Se revisan las características básicas de las bandas de lluvia
de los huracanes. Estas características básicas son: ancho, separación,
forma espiral hacia adentro, tiempo de vida, y movimiento
de las bandas. Se revisa también el movimiento de las células individua1es en las bandas. Los cambios de las variables meteorológicas
dentro de las bandas son examinados, así como también los cambios en superficie de los elementos del tiempo observados durante
la pasada de las bandas de lluvia. La formación de tornados en huracanes es discutida brevemente. Finalmente, las explicaciones para la formación de las bandas son tratadas en una forma sucinta:
explicaciones deducidas de observaciones, de experimentos de laboratorio,
y de los resultados de estudios analíticos y numéricos.
The basic characteristics of hurricane rainbands are reviewed. These basic characteristics are: width spacing, inward spiralling, life-time, and movement of the bands. Movement of individual cells in the bands is also reviewed. The changes of meteorological variables within the bands are examined, as well as the surface changes in weather elements observed during the passage of the rainbands. The formation of tornadoes within hurricanes is briefly discussed. Finally, the explanations for band formation are treated in a succinct fashion: explanations inferred from observations, from laboratory experiments, and from the results of analytical and numerical studies.
