Brickfielder

The Brick Fielder is a hot and dry wind in the desert of Australia, which blows in summer from the barren, hot inland towards the coastal areas of the south. The Brick Fielder precedes the passage of a cold front. It causes violent dust storms, which can last several days, wearing red brick dust to the coast and scorched vegetation. Because of its dry heat, he is sometimes seen as beneficial to health because he might destroy many pathogens. On the Brick Fielder almost always followed by a strong Southerly Buster, which comes in a cool and cloudy from the ocean.

Cause of both winds is a cyclone over the Australian Bight. Such systems often extend in the form of a V-shaped, pointing to the north trough of low pressure inland from, with winds from the south occur on the eastern flank winds from the north and on the western flank. Migrates this narrow system eastward, then the wind shifts suddenly from north to south, and the temperature drops within twenty minutes to fifteen degrees.

End of September 2009, it was the strongest dust storm of the last 70 years.
