There were 64 cataloged TC tornadoes, with an average of five per year. About one-third of the landfalling TCs in China were tornadic. Consistent with previous studies, TC tornadoes preferentially formed in the afternoon shortly before and within about 36 h after landfall of the TCs. These tornadoes mainly occurred in coastal areas with relatively flat terrains. The maximum number of TC tornadoes occurred in Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces. Most of the TC tornadoes were spawned within 500 km of the TC center. Two notable characteristics were found: (1) TC tornadoes in China mainly occurred in the northeast quadrant (Earth-relative co- ordinates) rather than the right-front quadrant (TC motion-relative coordinates) of the parent TC circulation; and (2) most tornadoes were produced by TCs with a relatively weak intensity (tropical depressions/storms), in contrast with the United States where most tornadoes are associated with stronger TCs.

  • Global Catastrophe Review – 2015
    GC BRIEFING An Update from GC Analytics© March 2016 GLOBAL CATASTROPHE REVIEW – 2015 The year 2015 was a quiet one in terms of global significant insured losses, which totaled around USD 30.5 billion. Insured losses were below the 10-year and 5-year moving averages of around USD 49.7 billion and USD 62.6 billion, respectively (see Figures 1 and 2). Last year marked the lowest total insured catastrophe losses since 2009 and well below the USD 126 billion seen in 2011. 1 The most impactful event of 2015 was the Port of Tianjin, China explosions in August, rendering estimated insured losses between USD 1.6 and USD 3.3 billion, according to the Guy Carpenter report following the event, with a December estimate from Swiss Re of at least USD 2 billion. The series of winter storms and record cold of the eastern United States resulted in an estimated USD 2.1 billion of insured losses, whereas in Europe, storms Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 are expected to render losses exceeding USD 1.6 billion. Other impactful events were the damaging wildfires in the western United States, severe flood events in the Southern Plains and Carolinas and Typhoon Goni affecting Japan, the Philippines and the Korea Peninsula, all with estimated insured losses exceeding USD 1 billion. The year 2015 marked one of the strongest El Niño periods on record, characterized by warm waters in the east Pacific tropics. This was associated with record-setting tropical cyclone activity in the North Pacific basin, but relative quiet in the North Atlantic.

While all experiments can reproduce RI, tropical cyclones (TCs) in cooler experiments initiate the RI 13 h later than those in warmer experiments. A comparison of structural changes preceding RI onset in two representative experiments with warmer and cooler SSTs (i.e., CTL and S1) indicates that both TCs undergo similar vertical alignment despite the moderate VWS. RI onset in CTL occurs ;8hbeforethefull vertical alignment, while that in S1 occurs ;5 h after. In both experiments precipitation becomes more symmetrically distributed around the vortex as vortex tilt decreases. In CTL, precipitation symmetricity is higher in the inner-core region, particularly for stratiform precipitation. All experiments indicate that RI onset occurs when the radius of maximumwind(RMW)contractionreachesacertaindegree measured in terms of local Rossby number.

Short-term periodic convection activities (period: 3–5 h) have been identified in a number of TCs, but the effect of these activities on the evolution of TC intensity at the hourly scale is yet to be fully investigated. Using radar observations and a high-resolution numerical simulation based on the Weather Research and Forecasting model, we analyzed the periodic cycles of eyewall convection associated with the intensification of Typhoon Hato (2017).

Hurricane Patricia highlights active October for global tropical cyclone activity . Historic flooding inundates U.S. state of South Carolina; economic cost expected to top USD2.0 billion . Magnitude-7.5 earthquake leaves hundreds dead in Afghanistan and Pakistan Major Hurricane Patricia became the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere when its maximum sustained wind speeds reached 200 mph (325 kph) and its central pressure plummeted to 879 millibars. The storm eventually made landfall as a 165-mph (265-kph) Category 5 hurricane near Cuixmala, Mexico. At least 14 fatalities were attributed to the storm, though the level of devastation could have been substantially worse had the storm tracked even slightly to the north or south. Preliminary economic damage was estimated at USD300 million, though this figure is subject to change. Given low insurance penetration in the hardest-hit areas, insured losses were expected to be negligible. Typhoon Mujigae became the costliest tropical cyclone of 2015 after making separate landfalls in China and the Philippines. At least 22 people were killed. Damage was extensive in China’s Hainan and Guangdong provinces as the government listed economic losses at CNY26.6 billion (USD4.2 billion). Super Typhoon Koppu made landfall in the Philippines as a strong category 4 typhoon, killing at least 62 people and injuring 83 others.
