  • A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt
    A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt Edition of 8/4/2011 243 A. D. An inundation of the sea in Lincolnshire laid under water many thousands of acres (Camden). 353 Flood in Cheshire in which 3000 people died along with thousands of cattle (Hayden). 402 Euxine Sea frozen over for 20 days (Hayden) 500 The Vandals from Poland held Western Africa, the Diocese of Africa, Visigoth (Western Goth) from Scandia held Spain, Ostrogoth (Eastern Goth) from Scandia held Italy, Germanic-Franks from Scandia held Gaul, Burgundians held Rhone river, and Celts, Germanic-Anglo-Saxon held the diocese of England. The massive migration of the Mongols, the Huns, Goth, Slav-Bulgars, and Avars westward is because of adverse weather conditions driving them from their lands . The Germanic-Danes inhabited the Danish Islands, Schonen, and later Jutland. St. Brendan (521-527) in his voyage to the northwest suggests the Celts of Ireland discovered America about this time. The Polynesian reached Hawaii and established agricultural settlements. These people had traveled 2500 miles from Island to Island. It is inconceivable that these peoples didn't reach America in the past 500 years. The Polynesians colonized Hawaii, Easter Island, and Madagascar by 500 A.D. 507 Men from Tsinngan, China report being blown across the Great Sea East to a people who speak a strange language. 508 In England, the rivers were frozen for more than two months (including Thames?). Possible severe winter. Rivers frozen for two months.

  • TYPHOON STRUCTURAL VARIABILITY by CANDIS L. WEATHERFORD P.L. WILLIAM M. GRAY
    NSF/NOAA-ATM 8419116 TYPHOON STRUCTURAL VARIABILITY LIBRARIES AUG 2 9 1986 BY COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY CANDIS L. WEATHERFORD P.l. WILLIAM M. GRAY TYPHOON STRUCTURAL VARIABILITY By Candis L. Weatherford Department of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University Fort Collins~ Colorado 80523 October~ 1985 Department of Atmospheric Science Paper No. 391 ABSTRACT This paper describes the varying structure of the tropical cyclone wind profile in terms of its core intensity, outer strength, and size where core intensity is defined by the tropical cyclone's minimum central sea-level pressure, outer strength is an average tangential wind speed from 60 to 1SO n mi (111-278 km), and size measures the radial extent of 30-kt and SO-kt surface winds. Analysis was performed on 700 mb aircraft data from over SOO reconnaissance missions into 66 tropical cyclones of the northwestern Pacific. All these cyclones were of typhoon intensity (Vmax >1 6S knots) sometime during their lifecycle. This data set is uniquely suited to fill the dual needs of: 1) providing inner wind profile information out to 4° radius, thus allowing the cyclone's strength to be measured, and 2) being able to sample the entire life cycle of the tropical cyclone from depression through supertyphoon stages. The focus of this study is on the outer strength region. The reasons for the focus on cyclone outer strength are twofold. First, in order to meet very immediate operational needs, the forecaster must be able to predict the low-level wind profile and where it crosses gale and hurricane force wind speeds, no matter what the core intensity of the tropical cyclone.

Box 476 Pocomoke City, Maryland 21851 National Aeronautics and Space Administration WbIlops Flight Center Wallops Island, Virginia 23337 AC 804 824-3411 FOREWORD This document's primary purpose is to provide the means for locating and extracting GEOS-3 altimeter data ac4uired for the analysis of specific hurricanes, typhoons, and other tropical cyclones. This data may also be extremely useful in the analysis of the behavior of the altimeter instrument in the presence of severe meteorological disturbances as well as provide a data base which can be useful in the resolution of apparently anomalous geoid or sea surface characteristics.
