NASA satellite sees Typhoon Noru in infrared light 31 July 2017 To Island, Japan. Maximum sustained winds were near 143.8 mph (125 knots/231 kph). Noru was moving to the west at 6.9 mph (6 knots/11.1 kph). The Joint Typhoon Warning Center forecasts Noru to move slowly to the northwest over the next several days and move toward Kyushu, Japan. Noru is expected to near Kyushu around August 5. Kyushu is the third biggest island of Japan and located farthest southwest of Japan's four main islands.

NASA Sees Typhoon Noru Raging Near the Minami Tori Shima Atoll 24 July 2017
NASA sees Typhoon Noru raging near the Minami Tori Shima Atoll 24 July 2017 north latitude and 154.9 degrees east longitude. That's about 128 nautical miles north of Minami Tori Shima. It was moving to the east-southeast at 13.8 mph (12 knots/22.2 kph). Noru is located to the southwest of Tropical Storm Koru, which is a much smaller and weaker storm. Noru is moving in a cyclonic loop and is forecast to turn back toward the west by July 26. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center's forecast calls for the storm to approach the island of Iwo To, Japan around July 29.

NASA's Aqua Satellite Tracking Typhoon Noru in Northwestern Pacific 28 July 2017
NASA's Aqua satellite tracking Typhoon Noru in northwestern Pacific 28 July 2017 was moving toward the northwest near 9 knots (10.3 mph/16.6 kph). The JTWC noted that the intensity is forecast "to remain steady for the next 24 hours as dry air and moderate vertical wind shear are offset by higher sea surface temperatures and the development of an equatorward outflow channel. Beyond one day, Noru is forecast to intensify as it tracks over increasingly warm sea surface temperatures and a point source develops over top of the system." In addition to Noru, there's another typhoon in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean that lies to the west of Noru. Typhoon Nesat is headed for a landfall in On July 27 NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible Taiwan on July 29. image of Typhoon Noru in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean.

Totally, 119 TCs from the 2012 to 2017 typhoon seasons were selected, based on satellite-observed data and China Meteorological Administration (CMA) TC best track data. We investigated the relationship among the TC maximum-sustained wind (MSW), the microwave brightness temperature (TB), and the sea surface wind speed (SSW). Then, a TC intensity estimation model was developed, based on a multivariate linear regression using the training data of 96 TCs. Finally, the proposed method was validated using testing data from 23 other TCs, and its root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and bias were 5.94 m/s, 4.62 m/s, and −0.43 m/s, respectively.

Two consecutive tropical cyclones, Kai-tak and Tembin, caused 440 fatalities in Philippines Southern California endured a destructive wildfire outbreak, which engulfed portions of Ventura and Los Angeles counties during the month of December. The most significant was the Thomas Fire, which was noted to have destroyed more than 1,063 homes and was declared the largest wildfire in California’s modern history. Billion-dollar economic and insured losses were confirmed by the authorities as a result. Cyclone Ockhi impacted Sri Lanka and portions of India in early December. Heavy rainfall, associated with the cyclone, triggered extensive flooding and landslides. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed, while hundreds of people were killed. Unofficial reports indicated that hundreds of others may have been killed or missing, particularly in southern India. Economic losses were expected to reach well into the 100s of millions (USD) though unconfirmed reports indicated the losses could reach into the billions (USD). Two consecutive tropical cyclones impacted the Philippines between December 16 and 26. Kai-tak, locally also known as “Urduja”, made landfall in Eastern Samar province where it left more than 34,000 homes damaged or destroyed and at least 91 people dead.

Environmental Factors to Influence the Intensification and Structural Changes of Typhoon Noru (1705) Indicated by Satellite Data Analysis
AAS03-11 Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2018 Environmental factors to influence the intensification and structural changes of Typhoon Noru (1705) indicated by satellite data analysis *Ryo OYAMA1 1. Meteorological Research Institute, Japan Meteorological Agency Typhoon Noru (1705) was a tropical cyclone (TC) which became a Tropical Storm (TS) near Minamitorishima at 1200 UTC on 20 July 2017, and was drifting counterclockwise over the western North Pacific Ocean. This TC finally made a landfall on the western part of Japan and became the typhoon which maintained the second longest in the list of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). This TC developed first during 0600 UTC 22 July 2017 - 1200 UTC 23 July 2017, then the cloud system size analyzed by using Himawari-8 infrared band drastically contracted while the radius of 30 kt winds did not change very much. Then, it rapidly developed with a gradual expansion of the cloud system size. This study investigated these interesting changes in Noru’s structure related to TC intensification/weakening by analyses using Himawari-8 and other satellite data, focusing on the atmospheric and oceanic environments. The investigations revealed several noticeable aspects regarding Noru’s structural changes. First, several successive deep convections, i.e., convective bursts, were detected during the TC intensification phases as the rapid descents in the inner-core cloud top temperature by Himawari-8. Remarkably, the descent of the cloud top temperature occurring just before the rapid intensification phase, from 1800 UTC 29 July 2017 to 0000 UTC 31 July 2017, was the largest, and the height of warm core peak elevated.

N KOREAN GROUP Demands US Be Turned to 'Ashes and Darkness'
International FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 World’s oldest panda dies aged 37 in China SHANGHAI: The world’s oldest captive giant panda has died at age 37 — more than 100 years in human years - her handlers in China said yesterday as they gave “Basi” an emotional send-off befitting a minor celebrity. Basi outlived most of her peers by nearly two decades-Pandas in the wild have an average lifespan of about 20 years, but those in captivity generally live longer. She was something of a beloved star in China and her birth- days were often celebrated with gusto. State television reported live yesterday from the zoo where Basi lived in southeastern China, which held a memorial in her honor. “With a heavy heart, we solemnly announce today that the original model of ‘Panpan’, the mascot for the first Asian Games (in China, 1990), and an angel of friendship both at home and abroad, giant panda star Basi died at 8:50am on September 13, 2017 at the age of 37,” the Straits Giant Panda Research and Exchange Center in Fuzhou said. Basi had lived at the facility since being rescued from the wild after she fell into a river in southwestern China at the age of four or five, it said. She was named after the valley where she was found. Basi spent some time abroad when she was loaned to the San Diego Zoo for six months in 1987. Giant pandas have a notoriously low reproductive rate, a key contributor-along with habitat loss-to their status as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of threatened species.

Extreme meteorological phenomena on a scale large enough to affect socio-economic activity have recently occurred worldwide. In 2017, the annual global average surface temperature was the third-highest since 1891 and extremely high temperatures were observed on a global scale. Heavy rains and tropical cyclones also caused widespread damage in southern China, the southeastern USA, Latin America and elsewhere. Japan’s northern Kyushu region sustained major damage as a result of heavy rainfall in July, and monthly mean temperatures in August and September at Okinawa/Amani were the highest on record. Significant meandering of the Kuroshio current was also observed for the first time in 12 years, and Japan’s Tokai region was severely damaged by high waves and storm surges associated with the intense Typhoon Lan, which made landfall on Shizuoka Prefecture in October. This report provides details of such events in Japan.
