reaction paper for the article: TROPICAL CYCLONES ‘LIKELY TO INTENSIFY’ According to the article‚ Tropical cyclones hitting East Asia have grown increasingly fierce in the past 30 years and are likely to intensify further with global warming. Noticeable increases of greenhouse gases over the globe could influence rising sea surface temperature and change large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Western North Pacific‚ which could enhance the intensity of tropical cyclones hitting land over East Asia

Tropical Cyclones & Floods & Droughts: Australia is well known for it’s natural disasters including BushFires‚ Floods‚ Droughts and Tropical Cyclones. The major disasters being Tropical Cyclones and Droughts. A cyclone is a large-scale‚ atmospheric wind and pressure system characterized by low pressure at it’s centre and by circulating motion‚ counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. An example of a tropical cyclone is Australia’s deadliest one yet

visibility of 0.25 mi (0.40 km) or less are conditions that‚ if they endure for three hours‚ define a blizzard. The great blizzard of March 11-14‚ 1888‚ which covered the eastern U.S.‚ was perhaps the most paralyzing of any storm on record. Cyclone Cyclone‚ in strict meteorological terminology‚ an area of low atmospheric pressure surrounded by a wind system blowing‚ in the northern hemisphere‚ in a counterclockwise direction. A corresponding high-pressure area with clockwise winds is known as an

CONTROL BY DOUBLE CYCLONE SYSTEM NAME : THEYVAN A/L GANESAN ID : 55201212141 LECTURER : DR. AMELIA DATE OF EXPERIMENT : 9 MARCH 2015 1.0 INTRODUCTION This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cyclone body diameter upon collection efficiency. The cyclonic separator is an important and popular type of dust-removal equipment. In this experiment 50 gram of kaolin was used as sample to study the particulate collection efficiency of double cyclone system. A cyclone collector can

Cyclone Tracy Cyclone Tracy has been labelled by many as the most severe Tropical Cyclone to ever affect Australia. A vast majority of Darwin was completely demolished during the 25th of December 1974. Even though the cyclone is considered small in world standards’‚ stretching with a radius of just 50km‚ Tracy was very intense. In Darwin Airport‚ a wind of 217km/h was recorded before the anemometer was destroyed. On the 20th of December 1974‚ what was soon to be Cyclone Tracy was identified in

What is a tropical cyclone? A tropical cyclone is a storm system in the Southern Hemisphere‚ with a closed circulation around a center of low pressure‚ driven by heat energy released as moist air drawn in over warm ocean waters rises and condenses. The circular eye or centre of a tropical cyclone is an area characterised by light winds and often by clear skies. They derive their energy from the warm tropical oceans and do not form unless the sea-surface temperature is above 26.5°C‚ although‚ once

Explain the differences between the impacts of hurricane Katrina and Cyclone Nargis. (40 marks) Tropical revolving storms have a marked influence on the areas they consume. Whether it’s at the point of striking (our primary effects) or the secondary factors days/months/years afterwards: they impact on the social‚ environmental and economic stature of an area. This is evident when comparing two of the most notable tropical revolving storms in the last decade. Hurricane Katrina hit the MEDC coast

Cyclone Yasi Speech Good morning Mr. Black head of the State Emergence Service and fellow volunteers. Cyclone Yasi began developing as a tropical storm near Fiji on 29th January. The system quickly changed and became a cyclone and was named Yasi at 10pm on the 30th by Fiji Meteorological Service. Yasi headed in a westward track and rapidly intensified‚ from a Category 2 at 10am on 31st January and then further to a Category 3 at 7pm that day. Yasi maintained Category 3 intensity for the next 24

Introduction: Bangladesh is prone to a variety of natural hazards. It has witnessed the havoc of some of the worst natural disasters of the world due to tropical cyclones and storm surges. Floods and local seasonal storms are annual events which cause loss of lives and damage to housing‚ agriculture and economy. The country is also exposed to the risk of earthquakes. There are other natural hazard concerns such as coastal erosion and sea level rise due to global warming‚ which have been in the limelight

STUDY ON BANGLADESH CYCLONES IN 1991 1. INTRODUCTION A "Cyclonic Storm" or a "Cyclone" is an intense vortex or a whirl in the atmosphere with very strong winds circulating around it in anti-clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The word "Cyclone" is derived from the Greek‚ word "Cyclos"
