  • 7 the Analysis of Storm Surge in Manila Bay, the Philippines
    INTERNATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC REVIEW MAY 2019 THE ANALYSIS OF STORM SURGE IN MANILA BAY, THE PHILIPPINES By Commander C. S. Luma-ang Hydrography Branch, National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, (Philippines) Abstract In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan produced a storm surge over seven metres in San Pedro Bay in the Philippines that killed approximately 6,300 people. The event created significant public awareness on storm surges and exposed the lack of records and historical research in the Philippines. This study investigated the tidal height records during intense cyclone activities in 2016 and 2017 to provide accurate information about storm surge development in the largest and most populated coastal area in the country – Manila Bay. The results of this investigation indicated that there are consistencies in the characteristics of tropical cyclones that produce larger storm surges. The results also show that actual storm surge heights are generally smaller than predicted height values. Résumé En 2013, le typhon Haiyan a provoqué une onde de tempête de plus de sept mètres dans la Baie de San Pedro aux Philippines, faisant près de 6 300 victimes. Cet événement a provoqué une importante sensibilisation du public envers les ondes de tempête et a mis en évidence le manque d’archives et de recherches historiques aux Philippines. La présente étude a examiné les enregistrements des hauteurs des marées au cours d’activités cycloniques intenses en 2016 et 2017 afin de fournir des informations précises sur le développement d’ondes de tempête dans la zone côtière la plus étendue et la plus peuplée du pays, la Baie de Manille.

  • Daily Variation of Chlorophyll-A Concentration Increased by Typhoon Activity
    remote sensing Letter Daily Variation of Chlorophyll-A Concentration Increased by Typhoon Activity Suginori Iwasaki Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, National Defense Academy of Japan, 1-10-20 Hashirimizu, Yokosuka, Kanagawa 239-8686, Japan; [email protected] Received: 17 March 2020; Accepted: 15 April 2020; Published: 16 April 2020 Abstract: The chlorophyll-a (Chla) concentration product of the Himawari-8 geostationary meteorological satellite is used to show the temporal variation of Chla owing to the passage of typhoons, namely, tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The daily Chla variation shows that Chla usually increases along the paths of typhoons, whereas the same observations are almost impossible when using the data of polar-orbiting satellites as shown in previous studies. This is because the temporal resolution of Himawari-8 is ten times more than that of polar-orbiting satellites, and the daily Chla distribution contains a few disturbances attributed to clouds after compositing cloud-free data. Chla usually increases on the day of typhoon arrival, but mostly, the HIMA ratio of Chla increased by a typhoon to the background Chla, RChla , is less than 2. Only a few HIMA typhoons considerably increased Chla. As a whole, RChla is proportional to the maximum 10-min 1 3 1 4 sustained wind speed up to 85 knots (44 m s− ), namely, 0.01 mg m− knot− (0.019 mg s m− ). However, there is no clear dependence between Chla and the wind speed in seas with higher Chla, such as the South China Sea. The result that typhoons are usually cultivating the ocean is important for studies of primary ocean productivity and carbon flux between the atmosphere and ocean.

  • Towards Predicting Rice Loss Due to Typhoons in the Philippines S
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-4/W19, 2019 PhilGEOS x GeoAdvances 2019, 14–15 November 2019, Manila, Philippines TOWARDS PREDICTING RICE LOSS DUE TO TYPHOONS IN THE PHILIPPINES S. Boeke1,4, M.J.C. van den Homberg1, A. Teklesadik, 1 J. L. D. Fabila 2, D. Riquet 3, M. Alimardani 4 1 510, an initiative of the Netherlands Red Cross 2 Philippine Red Cross 3 German Red Cross 4 Tilburg University Commission IV KEY WORDS: Typhoons, Philippines, Machine Learning, impact-based forecasting, rice loss ABSTRACT: Reliable predictions of the impact of natural hazards turning into a disaster is important for better targeting humanitarian response as well as for triggering early action. Open data and machine learning can be used to predict loss and damage to the houses and livelihoods of affected people. This research focuses on agricultural loss, more specifically rice loss in the Philippines due to typhoons. Regression and binary classification algorithms are trained using feature selection methods to find the most important explanatory features. Both geographical data from every province, and typhoon specific features of 11 historical typhoons are used as input. The percentage of lost rice area is considered as the output, with an average value of 7.1%. As for the regression task, the support vector regressor performed best with a Mean Absolute Error of 6.83 percentage points. For the classification model, thresholds of 20%, 30% and 40% are tested in order to find the best performing model. These thresholds represent different levels of lost rice fields for triggering anticipatory action towards farmers.
