An Observational and Modeling Analysis of the Landfall of Hurricane Marty (2003) in Baja California, Mexico
JULY 2005 F ARFÁN AND CORTEZ 2069 An Observational and Modeling Analysis of the Landfall of Hurricane Marty (2003) in Baja California, Mexico LUIS M. FARFÁN Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada B.C., Unidad La Paz, La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico MIGUEL CORTEZ Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, Comisión Nacional del Agua, México, Distrito Federal, Mexico (Manuscript received 20 July 2004, in final form 26 January 2005) ABSTRACT This paper documents the life cycle of Tropical Cyclone Marty, which developed in late September 2003 over the eastern Pacific Ocean and made landfall on the Baja California peninsula. Observations and best-track data indicate that the center of circulation moved across the southern peninsula and proceeded northward in the Gulf of California. A network of surface meteorological stations in the vicinity of the storm track detected strong winds. Satellite and radar imagery are used to analyze the structure of convective patterns, and rain gauges recorded total precipitation. A comparison of Marty’s features at landfall, with respect to Juliette (2001), indicates similar wind intensity but differences in forward motion and accumu- lated precipitation. Official, real-time forecasts issued by the U.S. National Hurricane Center prior to landfall are compared with the best track. This resulted in a westward bias of positions with decreasing errors during subsequent forecast cycles. Numerical simulations from the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model were used to examine the evolution of the cyclonic circulation over the southern peninsula. The model was applied to a nested grid configuration with hori- zontal resolution as detailed as 3.3 km, with two (72- and 48-h) simulations. -

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories. -

STEWART National Hurricane Center, Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 13 April 2004, in final form 5 October 2004) ABSTRACT The tropical cyclone activity for 2003 in the eastern North Pacific hurricane basin is summarized. Activity during 2003 was slightly below normal. Sixteen tropical storms developed, seven of which became hurri- canes. However, there were no major hurricanes in the basin for the first time since 1977. The first hurricane did not form until 24 August, the latest observed first hurricane at least since reliable satellite observations began in 1966. Five tropical cyclones made landfall on the Pacific coast of Mexico, resulting in 14 deaths. 1. Overview of the 2003 season North Pacific Ocean. Avila et al.

Centro de Sismología y Volcanología de Occidente (CA-UdG-276 SisVOc), Centro 4 Universitario de la Costa, Universidad de Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, México. 5 Abstract 6 The Jalisco region in western Mexico is one of the most seismically active in 7 the country. The city of Puerto Vallarta is located at Bahía de Banderas on the 8 northern coast of Jalisco., Currently there exists a Seismic Gap in the Northern 9 coast of Jalisco (Vallarta Gap). Historically seismogenic tsunamis have affected 10 the coast of Jalisco. In this work, the risk due to a local tsunami in the city of 11 Puerto Vallarta is a function of the interaction between hazard and 12 vulnerability. We model the tsunami hazard, generation and propagation, using 13 the initial conditions for a great earthquake (Mw ≥ 8.0) similar to those that 14 occurred in 1787 at Oaxaca and in 1995 at Tenacatita Bay, Jalisco.
