Download or read book Global Perspectives On Tropical Cyclones From Science To Mitigation written by Johnny C L Chan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a completely rewritten, updated and expanded new edition of the original Global Perspectives on Tropical Cyclones published in 1995. It presents a comprehensive review of the state of science and forecasting of tropical cyclones together with the application of this science to disaster mitigation, hence the tag: From Science to Mitigation.Since the previous volume, enormous progress in understanding tropical cyclones has been achieved. These advances range from the theoretical through to ever more sophisticated computer modeling, all underpinned by a vast and growing range of observations from airborne, space and ocean observation platforms. The growth in observational capability is reflected by the inclusion of three new chapters on this topic. The chapter on the effects of climate change on tropical cyclone activity is also new, and appropriate given the recent intense debate on this issue. The advances in the understanding of tropical cyclones which have led to significant improvements in forecasting track, intensity, rainfall and storm surge, are reviewed in detail over three chapters. For the first time, a chapter on seasonal prediction is included. The book concludes with an important chapter on disaster mitigation, which is timely given the enormous loss of life in recent tropical cyclone disasters.World Scientific Series on Asia-Pacific Weather and Climate is indexed in SCOPUS.

Book excerpt: The long-term goals of our research are to understand the interactions between tropical cyclones and their surroundings, and how such interactions influence tropical cyclone structure and intensity. The primary objective of this proposal was to understand the interactions of upper tropospheric potential vorticity centers and tropical cyclones, and to develop a "path to operations" that will allow prediction of tropical cyclone intensity change during such interactions. This objective is an extension of our previous ONR-funded work. The second objective was to understand the mechanisms behind the clustering of tropical cyclone occurrence in time, with the ultimate goal of predicting the presence of multiple tropical cyclones in advance. This represents a new initiative. Early studies have been for the eastern Pacific Ocean, but are now being extended to the western Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long term goals of this project are to improve and refine understanding of the dynamics of tropical cyclone structure and intensity change, with emphasis on the role of environmental dynamical effects on the intensity change process. This project builds upon the experience of the principal investigator in the study of extratropical cyclone dynamics in maritime regions during the past decade, and the recognition that extratropical maritime cyclones bear similarities to their tropical counterparts. Accordingly, a guiding theme of this research effort is to apply and extend well established dynamical perspectives on extratropical maritime cyclogenesis and cyclone life cycles to the tropics. The long term goals of this project have been addressed through diagnostic and modeling investigations of: (1) the origin and evolution of tropopause based precursor disturbances that culminate in rapid maritime cyclogenesis over the western North Atlantic Ocean; (2) the roles of trough interactions in tropical cyclone intensity change with a view toward determining the factors that distinguish between cyclogenetic and cyclolytic trough interactions; (3) the roles of environmental dynamical effects in tropical cyclone structure and intensity change; and (4) the kinematics of vorticity asymmetries associated with nondivergent barotropic vortices on a beta plane.

Download or read book Tropical Cyclones written by Richard Anthes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Cyclones and hurricanes, long feared for the death and destruction that often accompanies them, are among the most fascinating of atmospheric phenomena. Created by thermodynamic processes, they unleash vast amounts of energy and influence a wide variety of natural processes along their paths. Richard Anthes tells the story of tropical cyclones creation and destruction, of meteorology's successes in understanding, modeling and predicting their behavior, and of the attempts to modify them. The book begins with a lively introduction to hurricanes, their awesome power, and their effects on individuals and societies in the past and present. The characteristics of the mature hurricane are revealed by consideration of rawinsonde, aircraft and satellite data. The physical processes responsible for the development and maintenance of tropical cyclones are treated comprehensively, and illustrated with both qualitative and quantitative examples. The role of the planetary boundary layer, cumulus convection and radiation are all discussed in detail. Progress in numerical simulation of tropical cyclones is carefully reviewed. Modern, three-dimensional models succeed in simulating observed features such as the eye and spiral rain bands and in predicting storm motion over time intervals of three days. Current capabilities to predict and modify hurricanes and tropical cyclones are fully examined. The methods and difficulties of operational forecasting, the economic aspects of storm predictions, and the trends in accuracy of offical forecasts are all considered. The potential benefits and scientific problems associated with hurricane modification are discussed as part of a review of experimental and theoretical results on the consquences of seeding hurricane clouds. A unique feature of the book is a thorough treatment of the interactions between storm and ocean, with both observations and thery being integrated to provide a complete description.

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship of Tropical Cyclone Structure Characteristics to Changes in Intensity written by Alexander Hart Martin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical cyclone intensity is determined by the amount of heat and moisture it absorbs in the lower portion of the atmosphere. Thus, it is imperative to achieve a greater understanding of kinematic and thermodynamic features which serve to promote or hinder the intensification process. The analysis utilizes a 16 year dropsonde dataset containing over 13,681 quality controlled dropsonde profiles from the inner core and environment surrounding 120 different tropical cyclones. This data was used to classify strengthening and weakening tropical cyclones as well as examine their respective wind, moisture and temperature characteristics. When compared to weakening tropical cyclones, strengthening storms showed differences in (1) tangential wind speed, (2) tangential wind structure in both the horizontal and vertical domain, (3) radial outflow structure and (4) relative humidity structure which could serve as useful diagnostic tools when evaluating tropical cyclone status.

Download or read book Extratropical Cyclones written by Chester Newton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is composed of 12 review papers invited for the Palmen Memorial Symposium on Extratropical Cyclones held in Helsinki, Finland, 29 August - 2 September 1988. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the birth of Professor Erik Palmén, this symposium was organized to give a state-of-the-art picture of research on the structure and dynamics of extratropical cyclones, a topic which Palmén pioneered during the era of advances in aerological analysis. This symposium was organized by the Geophysical Society of Finland and the American Meteorological Society in cooperation with the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish Geophysical Societies. Extratropical Cyclones offers state-of-the-art information on extratropical cyclones, and recent findings by European and American authorities in various subject areas. The first two chapters discuss Palmen's works on cyclones and his early general circulation concepts. The ten chapters following chronicle the advances in understanding cyclones; the theory, structure, and physical processes of cyclones; orographic cyclogenesis; and more. Extratropical Cyclones also contains synoptic case analyses, modeling results, examples of the phenomena discussed, and abundant references. While particular aspects are emphasized in the individual contributions, the book as a whole summarizes the major features of various kinds of extratropical cyclones based on observational analyses, theory and numerical experimentation. This volume is of interest to researchers in dynamic and synoptic meteorology, climatology and mesometeorology, as well as in numerical modeling and weather forecasting. It is also useful for meteorology courses at graduate and upper undergraduate levels.
