A Piteraq is a cold katabatic wind which originates on the Greenlandic icecap and sweeps down the east coast. The word "Piteraq" means "that which attacks you" in the local language. Piteraqs are most common in the autumn and winter. Wind speeds typically reach 50 to 80 m/s (180–288 km/h; 111–178 mph). On February 6, 1970 At about 6:00 PM, the community of Tasiilaq was hit by the worst documented Piteraq ever in Greenland (estimated at 90 m/s — about 325 km/h or 200 mph) (Stronger than a category five Atlantic hurricane) causing severe damage. Since the beginning of 1970 special Piteraq warnings are issued by the Danish Meteorological Institute. The Greenland ice sheet cools the air directly above it. Colder air is denser and it sinks, forming a separate layer of cold air in between warmer

  • O piteraq (plural piteqqat) é um vento catabático que surge na camada de gelo da Groelândia e, em seguida, flui pela costa leste. A palavra "piteraq" em groelandês significa "aquele que te ataca". Os piteqqat são mais comuns no outono e inverno. O vento normalmente atinge velocidades entre 50 a 80 m/s (180-288 km/h). Em 6 de fevereiro de 1970, a comunidade Tasiilaq foi atingida pelo piteraq mais forte documentado na Groenlândia. A velocidade máxima estimada foi de 90 m/s (324 km/h). O vento causou bastantes danos. Desde o início da década de 1970 avisos de piteraq são anunciados pelo Instituto Meteorológico Dinamarquês. (pt)
  • Piteraq är namnet på en katabatisk vind som uppstår på Grönlands glaciärisar och sveper ner över Grönlands östkust. På grönländska har ordet "piteraq" betydelsen: "det som överfaller dig". En katabatisk vind består av mycket kall luft. Fenomenet uppkommer oftast vid kalla och vindstilla nätter. Den nedkylda luftmassan dras med gravitationen ned i till exempel raviner eller klyftor. På Grönland ligger den typiska vindhastigheten mellan 50 och 80 m/s på vintern. På sommaren brukar den dock bara ligga mellan 20 och 40 m/s. (sv)
  • Питерак (дат. Piteraq) — холодный катабатический ветер, дующий с гренландского ледяного щита на восточное побережье Гренландии. Наиболее част осенью и зимой. Скорость достигает 50—80 м/с зимой и 20—40 м/с — летом.Обычно начинается в спокойные и холодные ночи. (ru)

Colder air is denser and it sinks, forming a separate layer of cold air in between warmer air. A Piteraq is triggered by low pressure systems off the east coast of Greenland. Piteraqs do not only affect coastal towns, but also large areas of sea to the east of Greenland. (en)
