The mighty mountain makes up more than fifty percent of the island and is the largest volcano on Earth. Since 1843, when people started rigorously recording Mauna Loa's eruptive activity, the volcano has produced raging lava flows, billowing sulfuric- rich clouds, and giant ground cracks, as well as triggered earthquakes, landslides, and even tsunamis. While geologists and emergency managers are concerned about and actively preparing for a future eruption, Hawaii's general public is largely ignorant or apathetic to their risk.

Focus is given to the formation and development of the initial circulation which eventually intensified into Hurricane Fefa. Using satellite imagery, the author studies the development of convective activity in the genesis region. Gridded reanalysis data are used to document the synoptic-scale flow, with emphasis on tracing the easterly wave which is associated with the formation of Fefa. The data show that the easterly wave propagated across the Caribbean Sea and the Central American mountains, and the initial circulation developed while the wave had moved into the eastern Pacific.

    Climatic Atlas of Tropical Cyclone Tracks Over the Central North Pacific

    Climatic Atlas of Tropical Cyclone Tracks over the Central North Pacific Pao-Shin Chu and Peng Wu Department of Meteorology School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology University of Hawaii-Manoa In cooperation with Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program Office of Planning Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism and NOAA/National Weather Service Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Honolulu This project is funded by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or any of its sub-agencies. April 2008 Preface The purpose of this report is to document the history of tropical cyclone tracks over the central North Pacific and large-scale environmental conditions conducive for tropical cyclone development and path. Over the past 40 years, tropical cyclones have caused injury, loss of life, and enormous property damage. Because of the socio-economic repercussions of tropical cyclones, particularly from Hurricane Iniki in 1992 and the close encounter of three most intense hurricanes in 1994, there is a heightened level of awareness of the threat from tropical cyclones. Climate information about tropical cyclones is useful for land use planning, emergency management, hazard mitigation, and coastal resources protection. This atlas is intended for decision makers in many fields, including but not limited to federal, state, city and county government agencies, power utilities, schools, media, and others. 2 Acknowledgments We are grateful to the Hawaii State Hurricane Advisory Committee and the State Civil Defense Agency for their support of this project. Andy Nash of the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Honolulu and Matt Sitkowski of the Department of Meteorology of the University of Hawaii provided assistance on the revised track records.
