(CNN) –– The torrent of snow that records and paralyzes some zones of the Montañas Rocosas trajectory is an unusually strong element: a cape of yellow snow that nests in New Mexico and Colorado…. with arena coming from Mexico.
One of the officers of the National Meteorological Service (NWS, for its English sailing) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, signaled the phenomenon.
“The arena that is being hauled by Mexico’s playgrounds … was transported all the way to Colorado!” She read in the message.
“We have a bay that is raster in all the state and stable trayendo many roads of the Suroeste. Podiums show in the satellite images the arena that is levantaba », explains Sharon Sullivan, meteorologist of the NWS in Albuquerque.
The amarillo color in the NOAA satellite shows the arena that is located north of the winds. Using a filter filter created by the Colorado State University is a big part of the arena and its images.
Hecho, this terminal is located north of Boulder, Colorado, following the National Meteorological Service. The agency published an image of the yellow cape that made its office stand out.
«Geen lo vemos con mucha frecuencia nie. “It’s especially exciting to the north like Boulder,” Sullivan said. It is more common that the arena is transported from the White Sands National Park, which is located on the part of the state. The law of Mexico is very rare, insistence.
Look at that! We received some remarks that people had seen a brownish layer in the snow and that we could take a picture of this in the office. It’s actually a layer of dust transported from Mexico! @NWSAlbuquerque pointed to it last night on satellite. # COwx https://t.co/XOTm74f87c pic.twitter.com/c5rdlyMRiR

How does the Mexican arena get to know you?
The conditions of the time for this event will be perfect. The northern part of New Mexico and some parts of Colorado have ten red flag warnings during the last days. For what, then, tens of thousands of people travel to the east at 96 to 112 kilometers per hour on some occasions. These vientos fuertes ayudaron a levantar y llevar la arena de México.
“Some of these particles are very fine. Entones, only required between 24 and 31 kilometers per hour for the sole of the foot », says Sullivan. In this way, with three-hundred-year-old rafters, the arena is easily serviced and recreated at 1,300 kilometers.
Similar to the Sahara Arena crossing of Africa, the Atlantic crossing and the suspended date on the Florida skyline, this arena is located north and north.
“Arena particles adhere to the level of water or water and can with the level of snow on the surface,” Sullivan explained. The result is a fresh snow cape with a ton of maroon.
Sullivan indicates that the same conditions this March may provoke more negative snow. That, according to her, also reduces the albedo of the snow or the power of reflection. And it is allowed to fall more quickly and result in a cap of snow reduced in general.
There is a very fast moving week for this region of the country. The Office of the National Meteorological Service of Albuquerque offers critical climate and indoor climate advice. In addition to a tornado alert, at the same time, as it was not inaugurated for this region, its embargo will be extreme.
