A Summary of Palau's Typhoon History 1945-2013
A Summary of Palau’s Typhoon History 1945-2013 Coral Reef Research Foundation, Palau Dec, 2014 © Coral Reef Research Foundation 2014 Suggested citation: Coral Reef Research Foundation, 2014. A Summary of Palau’s Typhoon History. Technical Report, 17pp. www.coralreefpalau.org Additions and suggestions welcome. Please email: [email protected] 2 Summary: Since 1945 Palau has had 68 recorded typhoons, tropical storms or tropical depressions come within 200 nmi of its islands or reefs. At their nearest point to Palau, 20 of these were typhoon strength with winds ≥64kts, or an average of 1 typhoon every 3 years. November and December had the highest number of significant storms; July had none over 40 kts and August had no recorded storms. Data Compilation: Storms within 200 nmi (nautical miles) of Palau were identified from the Digital Typhoon, National Institute of Informatics, Japan web site (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital- typhoon/reference/besttrack.html.en). The storm tracks and intensities were then obtained from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) (https://metoc.ndbc.noaa.gov/en/JTWC/). Three storm categories were used following the JTWC: Tropical Depression, winds ≤ 33 kts; Tropical Storm, winds 34-63 kts; Typhoon ≥64kts. All track data was from the JTWC archives. Tracks were plotted on Google Earth and the nearest distance to land or reef, and bearing from Palau, were measured; maximum sustained wind speed in knots (nautical miles/hr) at that point was recorded. Typhoon names were taken from the Digital Typhoon site, but typhoon numbers for the same typhoon were from the JTWC archives.

Tropical Storm Season Report 2021
TROPICAL STORM SEASON REPORT 2021 Welcome to the Tropical Storm Season Outlook 2021, your comprehensive overview of what to expect this season in all the major basins in the Northern Hemisphere. Topics will include a look back at last year’s infamous season, the drivers that will dictate this season, a specific forecast for the global basins, and a high level look at climate change and the impact on tropical activity. All of these will be applied within the framework of the supply chain world and the unique dynamics that have and will continue to occur. Get in Front of What’s Ahead.

Regional Tropical Cyclone Impact Functions for Globally Consistent Risk Assessments Samuel Eberenz1,2, Samuel Lüthi1,2, David N
https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-2020-229 Preprint. Discussion started: 26 August 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. Regional tropical cyclone impact functions for globally consistent risk assessments Samuel Eberenz1,2, Samuel Lüthi1,2, David N. Bresch1,2 5 1 Institute for Environmental Decisions, ETH Zurich, Zurich, 8092, Switzerland 2 Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss, Zurich-Airport, 8058, Switzerland Correspondence to: Samuel Eberenz ([email protected]) Abstract Assessing the adverse impacts caused by tropical cyclones has become increasingly important, as both climate change and 10 human coastal development increase the damage potential. In order to assess tropical cyclone risk, direct economic damage is frequently modelled based on hazard intensity, asset exposure and vulnerability, the latter represented by impact functions. In this study, we show that assessing tropical cyclone risk on a global level with one single impact function calibrated for the USA – which is a typical approach in many recent studies – is problematic, biasing the simulated damages by as much as a factor of 36 in the North West Pacific. Thus, tropical cyclone risk assessments should always consider regional differences 15 in vulnerability, too. This study proposes a calibrated model to adequately assess tropical cyclone risk in different regions by fitting regional impact functions based on reported damage data. Applying regional calibrated impact functions within the risk modelling framework CLIMADA at a resolution of 10 km worldwide, we find global annual average direct damage caused by tropical cyclones to range from 51 up to 121 billion USD (current value of 2014, 1980-2017), with the largest uncertainties in the West Pacific basin, where the calibration results are the least robust.
