Bermuda high, английский
The semi-permanent, subtropical anticyclone located over the western north atlantic ocean at about 30°n. when this center of high pressure is found over the island of bermuda, it has a profound influence on weather over the eastern united states and canada, usually characterized by very warm temperatures.
Bermuda rig, английский
- The most common sail plan, sails are tall triangular shape.
- A fore-and-aft rig developed in bermuda during the 17th century and widely used by modern cruising and racing yachts. it is distinguished by sharply raked masts and a tall triangular mainsail with one point going straight up. also marconi rig.
Bermuda rig or bermudan rig, английский
A triangular mainsail, without any upper spar, which is hoisted up the mast by a single halyard attached to the head of the sail. this configuration, introduced to europe about 1920, allows the use of a tall mast, enabling sails to be set higher where wind speed is greater.

Bermuda sloop, английский
A fore-and-aft rigged sailing vessel with bermuda rig developed in bermuda in the 17th century. in its purest form, it is single-masted, although bermuda sloops can have up to three masts, three-masted ships being referred to as schooners. originally gaff rigged, but evolved to use bermuda rig. the bermuda sloop is the basis of nearly all modern sailing yachts.
Bermuda triangle, английский
In contrast to the ancient origins of most myths and legends, that of the roughly triangular imaginary area bounded by the southern coast of florida and the islands of bermuda and puerto rico is relatively modern. its notoriety is based on the large number of ships and aircraft which have vanished there since 1800 without any trace of wreckage or survivors. also known as the “devil’s triangle,” it is one of only two places on earth where a magnetic compass points due north with no variation toward the magnetic pole. (the other, which lies off the east coast of japan, is also renowned for mysterious disappearances and japanese and filipino seamen call it the “devil’s sea.”) proposed explanations of these disappearances include extraterrestrial interference by visitors from outer space, interference by underwater-dwelling survivors from the lost continent of atlantis, and the action of physical forces hitherto unknown to science, including cosmic electro-magnetic effects, and timedistorting tunnels. the u.s. coast guard, however, is not impressed with supernatural explanations— pointing out that the combination of natural forces and human unpredictability outdoes even the most far-fetched science fiction. the caribbean-atlantic area has long been recognized for freakish weather, sudden fierce but local storms and waterspouts, and as a breeding ground for hurricanes. as early as 1596, sir walter raleigh complained of the region’s “hellish sea, thunder, lightening, and storms.” in addition, the interaction of strong currents with deep marine trenches and shallow reefs or shoals puts the ocean floor topography in constant flux, so that the development of new navigational hazards is rapid, while the swift and turbulent gulf stream can quickly erase any physical evidence of disaster. skeptics point out that many of the reported events actually occurred outside the triangle; some were preceded by reports of instrument failure or loss of power, and others happened during periods of unusual fog or strange sea conditions. in fact, scientific analysis bell 40 shows that the number and frequency of disappearances is not abnormal. nonetheless, the belief in paranormal influences is widespread and persistent.

Squall, английский
- A sudden, violent wind often accompanied by rain.
- Шквал
- A fast moving short intense storm.
- A sudden gust of wind, frequently occasioned by the interruption and reverberation of the wind from high mountains. these are very frequent in the mediterranean, particularly in the levant.— a black squall. one attended with a dark cloud and generally heavy rain.—a white squall. this furious and dangerous gust occurs in clear weather, without any other warning than the white foam it occasions on the surface of the sea, and a very thin haze. when this squall reaches a ship, copious rain attends it. it is very destructive to the flying-kite school, and many lives have been sacrificed by it.
- A sudden localized violent wind gust, often accompanied by rain, sleet, or thunder.
- A sudden intense wind storm of short duration, often accompanied by rain. squalls often accompany an advancing cold front.
- Шквал. атмосферное явление, характеризующееся резкими колебаниями скорости ветра. он начинается неожиданно, длится всего несколько минут, а затем скорость ветра также резко снижается. шквал часто сопровождается ливнем и грозой (вмо).
