    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.

  • Large Intensity Changes in Tropical Cyclones: a Case Study of Supertyphoon Flo During TCM-90
    3556 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 128 Large Intensity Changes in Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study of Supertyphoon Flo during TCM-90 DAVID W. T ITLEY AND RUSSELL L. ELSBERRY Department of Meteorology, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California (Manuscript received 5 November 1998, in ®nal form 5 May 1999) ABSTRACT A unique dataset, recorded during the rapid intensi®cation and rapid decay of Typhoon Flo, is analyzed to isolate associated environmental conditions and key physical processes. This case occurred during the Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-90) ®eld experiment with enhanced observations, especially in the upper troposphere beyond about 300 km. These data have been analyzed with a four-dimensional data assimilation technique and a multiquadric interpolation technique. While both the ocean thermal structure and vertical wind shear are favorable, they do not explain the rapid intensi®cation or the rapid decay. A preconditioning phase is de®ned in which several interrelated factors combine to create favorable conditions: (i) a cyclonic wind burst occurs at 200 mb, (ii) vertical wind shear between 300 and 150 mb decreases 35%, (iii) the warm core is displaced upward, and (iv) 200-mb out¯ow becomes larger in the 400±1200-km radial band, while a layer of in¯ow develops below this out¯ow. These conditions appear to be forced by eddy ¯ux convergence (EFC) of angular momentum, which appears to act in a catalyst function as proposed by Pfeffer and colleagues, because the EFC then decreases to small values during the rapid intensi®cation stage. Similarly, the outer secondary circulation decreases during this stage, so that the rapid intensi®cation appears to be an internal (within 300 km) adjustment process that is perhaps triggered during the preconditioning phase.

  • Coincidence of Storm Surges and River Discharges Due to Typhoons in the Pampanga Delta
    Coincidence of storm surges and river discharges due to typhoons in the Pampanga delta Master Thesis H.J. aan het Rot Cover image: Satellite image of Typhoon Nesat in 2011 above the Pampanga delta (NASA, 2011). 2 Coincidence of storm surges and river discharges due to typhoons in the Pampanga delta Master Thesis Herm Jan aan het Rot University of Twente Faculty of Engineering Technology Department of Water Engineering and Management P.O. Box 217 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands Author: Herm Jan aan het Rot [email protected] Supervisors: Prof. dr. J.C.J. Kwadijk University of Twente Dr. ir. M.J. Booij University of Twente Dr. ir. J.V.L. Beckers Deltares Delft, Oktober 2018 3 SUMMARY Highlights - Taking into account the joint occurrence of storm surges, discharge peaks and high tides is of major importance in exposure and risk studies in the Pampanga delta; - Simulated inundations in the largest part of the Pampanga delta are dominated by river discharges but can be strengthened by storm surges; - In some areas in the surroundings of Manila Bay and in north-western Manila the simulated inundations are dominated by the combination of storm surges and tides; - There is a significant increase of the joint probability of extreme storm surges and extreme discharges in comparison with the independent probability. The Pampanga delta (Philippines) is due to its geographical location prone to typhoons which can result in extreme discharges and storm surges in Manila Bay. In most flood risk studies, river discharges and storm surges are considered independent, but if there exists dependence between storm surges and river discharges, this might have a significant influence on design levels and expected inundations.

This report has been produced without editorial supervision by the WMO Secretariat. lt is not an official WMO publication and its distribution in this form does not imply endorsement by the Organization of the ideas expressed. Foreword This is the fourth in a series of very successful workshops organized through the World Meteorological Organization's Tropical Meteorology Programme. The concept of bringing together researchers and operational forecasters from all parts of the globe for discussion and interaction has proved to be enormously successful. The previous three meetings have produced significant tangible outcomes in the form of publications and forecaster guidance, and have recommended directions for organizations to pursue with respect to tropical cyclones. There are also a number of intangibles surrounding these workshops that may be equally significant in the longer term. The broadening of links between individuals and organizations, the cross-fertilisation of ideas and the raising of awareness about exciting advances that are taking place around the world are all contributing towards the amelioration of the impact of tropical cyclones.
