In the first part, a strong spatial correlation between the TCPI and the ocean temperature underneath was used to develop a statistical model to quantify the TCPI over the remote regions where the TC related observations are difficult to acquire.

  • FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER by DAY (To 1994) OCTOBER 1 1969
    FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER BY DAY (to 1994) OCTOBER 1 1969 - 1730 - Clay Co., Orange Park - Lightning killed a construction worker who was working on a bridge. A subtropical storm spawned one weak tornado and several waterspouts in Franklin Co. in the morning. 2 195l - south Florida - The center of a Tropical Storm crossed Florida from near Fort Myers to Vero Beach. Rainfall totals ranged from eight to 13 inches along the track, but no strong winds occurred near the center. The strong winds of 50 to 60 mph were all in squalls along the lower east coast and Keys, causing minor property damage. Greatest damage was from rains that flooded farms and pasture lands over a broad belt extending from Naples, Fort Myers, and Punta Gorda on the west coast to Stuart, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach on the east. Early fall crops flooded out in rich Okeechobee farming area. Many cattle had to be moved out of flooded area, and quite a few were lost by drowning or starvation. Roadways damaged and several bridges washed out. 2-4 1994 - northwest Florida - Flood/Coastal Flood - The remnants of Tropical Depression 10 moved from the northeast Gulf of Mexico, across the Florida Panhandle, and into Georgia on the 2nd. High winds produced rough seas along west central and northwest Florida coasts causing minor tidal flooding and beach erosion. Eighteen people had to be rescued from sinking boats in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Heavy rains in the Florida Big Bend and Panhandle accompanied the system causing extensive flooding to roadways, creeks and low lying areas and minor flooding of rivers.

  • The Hurricane Season of 1966 Arnold L
    March 1967 Arnold L. Sugg 131 THE HURRICANE SEASON OF 1966 ARNOLD L. SUGG* National Hurricane Center, US. Weather Bureau Office, Miami, Florida I 1. GENERAL SUMMARY ward in the United States in September (Green [4]), but The 1966 hurricane season began early and ended late. While the number of storms was only slightly above normal, hurricane days totalled 50, well above the yearly average of 33 and the second highest of record tabulated since 1954 (table 1). Hurricane days for June and November exceeded the previous 12-y ear totals. Except for a late May-early June hurricane in 1825, Alma, the first tropical cyclone of the 1966 season, made landfall in the United States earlier in the season than any other hurricane of record. Faith and Inez were tracked over very long distances (fig. 1). The 65 advisories on Inez were the most ever issued for a hurricane and the total of 151 bulletins and advisories also exceeded previous advices on a hurricane. The unusual path of Inez made her the first single storm of record to affect the West Indies, the Bahamas, Florida, and Mexico. She was also the first of record, so late in the season, to cross the entire Gulf of Mexico without recurvature. The season continued active through July. Since 1871, there have been only thee other years when the fifth tropica.1 cyclone developed as early as July. These were 1933 (fifth tropical cyclone on July 25, total of 21 cyclones), 1936 (July 27, 16 cyclones), and 1959 (July 22, 11 cyclones). According to Wagner [14], the June 700-mb.

  • Estimating Hurricane-Induced Drift Velocity: a Case Study During Ivan by Prof
    Global Journal of Researches in Engineering: e Civil And Structural Engineering Volume 14 Issue 6 Version 1.0 Year 2014 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 & Print ISSN: 0975-5861 Estimating Hurricane-Induced Drift Velocity: A Case Study during Ivan By Prof. S. A. Hsu Louisiana State University, United States Abstract- During a tropical cyclone such as a hurricane, meteorological and oceanographic (met-ocean) conditions are severe. Estimates of these met-ocean parameters including winds, waves, current and storm surges are needed before and after the storm. Using Hurricane Ivan in 2004 as a case study, it is found that near surface wind measurements cannot be used to estimate waves and currents. An alternative method is proposed to estimate the wind drift velocity, i.e., Usea = 21 Hs^2/Tp^3, where Hs is the significant wave height and Tp the dominant wave period, both parameters are available routinely online from the National Data Buoy Center. Application of this Usea formula during Ivan shows that it is consistent with the near surface current measurements, particular the peak velocity. Keywords: wind drift velocity, friction velocity, significant wave height, dominant wave period, hurricane inez, hurricane kate, hurricane ivan, north sea storms.

Florida (Manuscript received5 January 1990,in final fonn 15 February 1990) ABSTRACf The National Hunicane Center (NHC) is one of three national centersoperated by the National Weather Service(NWS). It has national and international responsibilitiesfor the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacifictropical and subtropicalbelts (including the Gulf of Mexico and the CaribbeanSea) for tropical analyses, marine and aviation forecasts,and the tropical cyclone forecastand warning programsfor the region. Its roots date back to the I 870s,and it is now in the forefront of the NWS modernizationprogram. Numerouschanges and improvements have taken place in observationaland forecastguidance tools and in the warning and responseprocess over the years. In spite of all theseimprovements, the loss of property and the potential for lossof life due to tropical cyclonescontinues to increaserapidly. Forecastsare improving, but not nearly as fast as populationsare increasingin hunicane prone areassuch as the United StatesEast and Gulf Coast banier islands.The result is that longer and longer lead times are required for communities to preparefor hunicanes.
