Freezing Temperatures Reach Florida Following a cold frontal passage across the Florida peninsula on December 31, 2000, a large high pressure system moved from Canada southward toward the Southeast U.S. and northern Gulf of Mexico. The surface high pressure system brought widespread sub-freezing temperatures to Florida in early January 2001. Also affected were the West-Central and Southwest portions of the peninsula. Temperatures remained below freezing for six to nine hours. Many locations reported temperature minimums in the middle twenties. Early damage estimates were at nearly five million dollars over West-Central and Southwest Florida. Left: Photo depicts a closeup of oranges encased in icicles shortly after sunrise on January1, 2001. The orange tree was next to a strawberry field being sprayed with water to protect the crop from sub-freezing temperatures. This photo was taken in Dover, Florida.

One mobile home was de-roofed and one other house suffered signficant roof damage in this area. Other damage was primarily in the form of downed trees and power lines and minor roof damage (shingles removed). This damage path was about 3 miles long and about 200 yards wide. This event was produced by a strong thunderstorm that exhibited a bowing characteristic which is frequently accompanied by weak tornadoes and strong straight-line wind.

    Typhoon Neoguri Disaster Risk Reduction Situation Report1 DRR sitrep 2014‐001 ‐ updated July 8, 2014, 10:00 CET Summary Report Ongoing typhoon situation The storm had lost strength early Tuesday July 8, going from the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane to a Category 3 on the Saffir‐Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which means devastating damage is expected to occur, with major damage to well‐built framed homes, snapped or uprooted trees and power outages. It is approaching Okinawa, Japan, and is moving northwest towards South Korea and the Philippines, bringing strong winds, flooding rainfall and inundating storm surge. Typhoon Neoguri is a once‐in‐a‐decade storm and Japanese authorities have extended their highest storm alert to Okinawa's main island. The Global Assessment Report (GAR) 2013 ranked Japan as first among countries in the world for both annual and maximum potential losses due to cyclones. It is calculated that Japan loses on average up to $45.9 Billion due to cyclonic winds every year and that it can lose a probable maximum loss of $547 Billion.2 What are the most devastating cyclones to hit Okinawa in recent memory? There have been 12 damaging cyclones to hit Okinawa since 1945. Sustaining winds of 81.6 knots (151 kph), Typhoon “Winnie” caused damages of $5.8 million in August 1997. Typhoon "Bart", which hit Okinawa in October 1999 caused damages of $5.7 million. It sustained winds of 126 knots (233 kph). The most damaging cyclone to hit Japan was Super Typhoon Nida (reaching a peak intensity of 260 kph), which struck Japan in 2004 killing 287 affecting 329,556 people injuring 1,483, and causing damages amounting to $15 Billion.

  • Ensemble Forecast of a Typhoon Flood Event
    AUGUST 2001 MACKEY AND KRISHNAMURTI 399 Ensemble Forecast of a Typhoon Flood Event BRIAN P. M ACKEY AND T. N . K RISHNAMURTI Department of Meteorology, The Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida (Manuscript received 9 September 1999, in ®nal form 2 February 2001) ABSTRACT A high-resolution nested regional spectral model and an ensemble prediction system are combined to forecast the track, intensity, and ¯ooding precipitation arising from Typhoon Winnie of August 1997, which eventually reached supertyphoon status. The prediction of ¯oods is operationally challenging since rainfall distributions can have a high degree of spatial and temporal variability. Rare event probabilities, however, can be estimated more readily via ensemble forecasting. This technique is used to evaluate a typhoon ¯ood event in which rainfall amounts greater than 200 mm led to landslides and major ¯ooding of crops. Seven-member ensembles were generated using an EOF-based technique. An experiment was conducted with a regional model resolution of 0.58 latitude. A Mercator transform grid with a grid mesh size of approximately 55 km in the east±west and 48 km in the north±south was employed. The results indicated very accurate track and intensity forecasts for both the control and ensemble mean. Track position errors remained below 150 km through 72 h, while intensity errors were approximately5ms21 at landfall. Qualitatively, the overall 5-day precipitation patterns appeared realistic and compared favorably with the observed data, while, quantitatively, the correlation coef®cient was near 0.6. For stations near and north of where Winnie made landfall, ensemble-based predictions performed well. While the ensemble mean often underestimated the heaviest rainfall totals by approximately 25%±50%, the maximum values within the ensemble spread either exceeded or came within 10%±15% of the station totals.

  • The Use of a Spectral Nudging Technique to Determine the Impact of Environmental Factors on the Track of Typhoon Megi (2010)
    atmosphere Article The Use of a Spectral Nudging Technique to Determine the Impact of Environmental Factors on the Track of Typhoon Megi (2010) Xingliang Guo ID and Wei Zhong * Institute of Meteorology and Oceanography, National University of Defense Technology, Nanjing 211101, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 3 October 2017; Accepted: 7 December 2017; Published: 20 December 2017 Abstract: Sensitivity tests based on a spectral nudging (SN) technique are conducted to analyze the effect of large-scale environmental factors on the movement of typhoon Megi (2010). The error of simulated typhoon track is effectively reduced using SN and the impact of dynamical factors is more significant than that of thermal factors. During the initial integration and deflection period of Megi (2010), the local steering flow of the whole and lower troposphere is corrected by a direct large-scale wind adjustment, which improves track simulation. However, environmental field nudging may weaken the impacts of terrain and typhoon system development in the landfall period, resulting in large simulated track errors. Comparison of the steering flow and inner structure of the typhoon reveals that the large-scale circulation influences the speed and direction of typhoon motion by: (1) adjusting the local steering flow and (2) modifying the environmental vertical wind shear to change the location and symmetry of the inner severe convection. Keywords: spectral nudging; typhoon track; environmental factors 1. Introduction Although the forecasting accuracy of typhoon tracks has been effectively improved in recent years through observations, numerical simulations, data assimilation and studies of the physical mechanisms affecting typhoon movement [1], the accurate prediction of abnormal typhoon tracks, including their continuous changes and abrupt deflection, is still not possible [2].

The archipelago consists of 29 atolls and 5 reef platforms arranged in a double chain of islands. The atolls and reef platforms are host to approximately 1,225 reef islands, which are characterised as low-lying with a mean elevation of 2 m above mean sea leveL Many of the islands are inhabited, though over 74% of the 53,000 population (2011 census) is concentrated on the atolls of Majuro and Kwajalein The limited land size of these islands and the low-lying topographic elevation makes these islands prone to natural hazards and climate change. As generally observed, small islands have low adaptive capacity, and the adaptation costs are high relative to the gross domestic product (GDP). The focus of this study is on the two islands of Ebeye and Majuro, respectively located on the Ralik Island Chain and the Ratak Island Chain, which host the two largest population centres of the archipelago.
