I. INTRODUCTION A typhoon is a violent tropical hurricane/cyclone that occurs in the west Pacific and the Indian Generally‚ they hit areas north of the equator and west of the international date line. While typhoons have hit islands‚ countries and naval fleets throughout the course of history‚ it wasn’t until the middle of the 20th century that governments and organizations began to attempt a monitoring program. II. HISTORY OF TYPHOON The history of typhoon presents a perfect example of

There is more of a rotational speed increase closer to the poles while there is the least change close to the equator. 7. Sketch the pattern of surface wind belts on Earth‚ showing

AOSC 200 Fall 2011 Key Topics to Study for the Final Exam What is the carbon dioxide and hydrologic cycles? What are the sources and sinks of each? Carbon Dioxide Cycle: How carbon is recycled through the atmosphere - Maximum CO2 in the Spring and minimum in the Fall because Spring comes right after winter. Therefore‚ all the plants that died during the Winter are not taking in CO2 for photosynthesis. Because these plants are not taking in CO2 there is more of it in the atmosphere. However

They also believe that it also caused the lack of serious storms like hurricanes in the north Atlantic which spreads over to Florida. The equator has some of the worlds warmest oceans. Most horrible El Nino’s of the century is in the winter of 1982 and 1983 the total was $8 billion in damage. The El Nino happens about every three to seven years. It is often the most windy time of the year

Checking out the weather report is a daily activity for many of us. At the very least‚ we want to know how hot or cold it will get‚ or whether there will be rain or snow. Some of us live in places where severe weather can produce dangerous conditions -- flooding‚ tornados‚ blizzards or fogs‚ so we pay attention to weather related warnings. And these days‚ weather reports are getting more sophisticated‚ with pollen counts and particulates for allergy sufferers‚ and UV indices to tell you whether you

terms of distance(in degrees) to the north and south of the equator. Higher amount of incoming short wave radiation(SWR) received will lead to higher amount of outgoing longwave radiation (LWR) released and higher temperature. Places are close to the equator(lower latitudes) receive more insolation than areas closer to the poles(higher latitudes). For example‚ comparing the city of Singapore to Harbin(China)‚ Singapore is located near the equator (1˚N) and Harbin is located at higher latitudes of (45˚N)
