Experts from Cuba, Brazil, Spain, Mexico and Colombia are to close this Friday the 5th National Meteorology Congress in Havana with a conference on marine meteorology, stressing on sea penetration and their aftermath.
This event also studied the 2008 cyclone season nine tropical storms and three hurricanes since adverse atmospheric conditions and rather dry mid layers stalled the birth of other storms.
In addition, those reported showed a rather disorganized cloud pattern with ill-defined cores and El Nino phenomenon, present through out the entire season, also contributed to the above.
Doctor Eugenio Mojeno, expert from Cuba's Meteorology Institute Forecast Division, addressed the effects powder clouds coming from the Sahara desert on human health in the Caribbean.
Dr. Mojeno said those clouds deteriorate the quality of air and upset sea and land ecosystems. They are known for their high concentration of particles and biological matter like funguses, viruses, bacteria, feces, polen and heavy metals.
A 17 percent increase of asthma cases in recent past years in the region confirm both the persistent presence of those clouds and that they stand out as serious health threat, concluded the Cuban expert.
