    Sea Surface Height and Intensity Change in Western North Pacific Typhoons Julianna K. Kurpis, Marino A. Kokolis, and Grace Terdoslavich: Bard High School Early College, Long Island City, New York Jeremy N. Thomas and Natalia N. Solorzano: Digipen Institute of Technology& Northwest Research Associates, Redmond, Washington Abstract Eastern/Central Pacific Hurricane Felicia (2009) Western North Pacific Typhoon Durian (2006) Although the structure of tropical cyclones (TCs) is well known, there are innumerable factors that contribute to their formation and development. The question that we choose to assess is at the very foundation of what conditions are needed for TC genesis and intensification: How does ocean heat content contribute to TC intensity change? Today, it is generally accepted that warm water promotes TC development. Indeed, TCs can be modeled as heat engines that gain energy from the warm water and, in turn, make the sea surface temperature (SST) cooler. Our study tests the relationship between the heat content of the ocean and the intensification process of strong Western North Pacific (WNP) Typhoons (sustained winds greater than 130 knots). We obtained storm track and wind speed data from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and sea surface height (SSH) data from AVISO as a merged product from altimeters on three satellites: Jason-1, November/December: 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 Aug: 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Jason-2, and Envisat. We used MATLAB to compare the SSH to the wind speeds, The strongest wind for Typhoon Durian occurred when the SSH was below using these as proxies for ocean heat content and intensity, respectively.

  • Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, the Philippines
    Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project Metro Manila, The Philippines i Summary Metro Manila also called the National Capital Region (NCR) is situated in the south eastern part of the Philippines. Serving as the main economic culture and educational center, the region is a densely populated metropolitan area. The Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (AWTIP) was designed to ensure secured and sufficient raw water supply to meet the current and future demands of the rapidly growing population of Metro Manila. The project focuses on the construction of a new 6.3 km tunnel (no. 4), intake structures at the Ipo dam and connecting structures of the transition basins, new aqueduct (no. 6)., rehabilitating and retrofitting of existing tunnels and aqueducts. The project is expected to restore the water transmission capacity of the Angat transmission system which currently operates about the 30% below its design capacity. Given the rapidly growing population of a highly populated Metro Manila, the project would ensure that a maximum capacity of 4.65 million m3/d of raw water is transmitted from the Angat dam at maximum efficiency. In addition, the execution of the project is expected to build the technical capacity of the staffs of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), who are the primary administrators of the project. The project features social and economic aspects that are targeted towards improving the livelihood and health conditions of source community’s programs and indigenous people. The project also has in place environmental safeguards that aim at reducing and mitigating direct and indirect impacts on the biotic and abiotic parts of the environment.

INTRODUCTION The importance of the preservation of the tropical rainforest is discussed all over the world (e.g. 1972 Stockholm Conference, 1975 Helsinki Conference, 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, and the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development). Tropical rainforest has been recognized as one of the main elements for maintaining climatic conditions, for the prevention of impoverishment of human societies and for the maintenance of biodiversity, since they support an immense richness of life (Withmore, 1990). In addition sustainable management of the environment and elimination of absolute poverty are included as the 21 st Century most important challenges embedded in the Millennium Development Goals. The forest of Southeast Asia constitutes, after the South American, the second most extensive rainforest formation in the world. The archipelago of tropical Southeast Asia is one of the world's great reserves of biodiversity and endemism. This holds true for The Philippines in particular: it is one of the most important “biodiversity hotspots” .1.

  • NASA's Aqua Satellite Sees Tropical Storm Haikui Make Landfall in China 8 August 2012
    NASA's Aqua satellite sees Tropical Storm Haikui make landfall in China 8 August 2012 Typhoon Haikui weakened to a tropical storm just Center before landfall in China. Eight hours after landfall, NASA's Aqua satellite still showed a strong and organized tropical storm moving inland. China's National Meteorological Center (NMC) said that Tropical Storm Haikui, made landfall in Zhejiang province on August 8 at 3:20 a.m. local time (19:20 UTC or 3:20 p.m. EDT/U.S., August 7), about 140 miles (225 km) south of Shanghai. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's last official warning on Haikui was issued on August 8 at 0300 UTC (11 a.m. local time/Shanghai). At that time Haikui's maximum sustained winds were near 60 knots (69 mph/111.1 kmh) and it was located about 95 miles south of Shanghai, near 29.7 North latitude and 121.3 East longitude. It was moving to the northwest at 9 knots (10.3 mph/16.6 kmh). By 5 p.m. EDT Shanghai local time on August 8 Haikui was located near the city of Huzhou. NMC reported heavy rainfall with totals as high as 17 inches (434 millimeters) in Xiangshan, Taizhou, and Ninghai, all located in the southeast coastal province of Zhejiang. A visible image of Tropical Storm Haikui was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies onboard NASA's Aqua satellite on August 8, 2012 at 0520 UTC (1:20 a.m. EDT/1:20 p.m. Shanghai local time) after it made landfall south of Shanghai, China.

  • Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (Additional Financing) (RRP PHI 46362-004)
    Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project (Additional Financing) (RRP PHI 46362-004) FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT A. Introduction 1. A Financial Management Assessment (FMA) has been prepared in accordance with Asian Development Bank’s (ADB’s) Guidelines for the Financial Management and Analysis of Projects (2005) and Financial Due Diligence A Methodology Note (2009) and the Financial Management Technical Guidance Note (2015). 2. The FMA considered the capacity of Executing Agency, the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), focusing on fund flows, staffing, accounting policies and procedures, internal controls, financial reporting and monitoring and internal and external audits. 3. MWSS was created by virtue of Republic Act 6234 passed on 29 June 19711. Its mandate is to ensure an uninterrupted and adequate supply and distribution of potable water for domestic and other purposes at just and equitable rates. In the same year when Republic Act 8041 (known as “The Water Crisis Act”) was passed in 1997, MWSS entered into a 25-year Concession Agreement with two private operators. This effectively transferred the operational responsibilities to Manila Water Company and Maynilad Water Services. Under Article 2 of the Concession Agreement,2 “MWSS grants to the Concessionaires, as contractor, to perform certain functions and as agent, the sole right to manage, operate, repair, decommission and refurbish the Facilities in the Service Area, including the right to bill and collect for water and sewerage services supplied in the service area (the “Concession).” MWSS-Corporate Office (CO) retained the management of Umiray-Angat Trans-basin Project3, monitoring, reporting and administering loans and other related functions while the MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) implements the provision of the Concession Agreement.

  • Triggered Mudflow Disaster at Mayon Volcano in the Philippines
    Field Survey of Typhoon Reming (Durian)-triggered Mudflow Disaster at Mayon Volcano in the Philippines Takeo Mitsunaga(JICA long-term expert in Philippines), Ryosuke Tsunaki(National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management, MLIT), Wataru Sakurai(Public Works Research Institute), Hidehiko Manzen(Sabo Technical Center) Introduction A damage survey was conducted at the Typhoon Reming (Durian)-triggered mudflow site around Mayon Volcano in the southern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines. The results of this survey are presented in this report. Mayon Volcano and overview of damage Mayon Volcano is an active volcano located at the southern end of Luzon Island (Fig. 1). It is a beautiful stratovolcano admired as a sightseeing spot, but it also brought about a number of disasters to the surrounding area. To mitigate damage around this volcano, the PHilippine Institute of VOLCanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) prepared a hazard map in 2000.
