Minnesota reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states thirteen times during the month, the highest frequency among all 48 states. Many northern observers saw overnight temperatures drop below -30 degrees F on several occasions. The mean monthly temperature for December from several communities ranked among the coldest Decembers ever. A sample listing includes: -4.1 F at International Falls, 2nd coldest all-time 4.6 F at Duluth, 8th coldest all-time 0.1 F at Crookston, 3rd coldest all-time -3.1 F at Roseau, 3rd coldest all-time 0.3 F at Park Rapids, 3rd coldest all-time -4.4 F at Embarrass, 2nd coldest all-time -4.1 F at Baudette, coldest all-time -3.7 F at Warroad, coldest all-time -2.9 F at Babbitt, coldest all-time -2.8 F at Gunflint Lake, coldest all-time In addition, some communities reported an exceptionally snowy month of December.

CARE enables lasting change by strengthening the capacity of communities and households through social, political and economic opportunities, delivering relief in emergencies, influencing policy decisions, and addressing discrimination. For 75 years, CARE has led the way to a better life for the world’s most vulnerable people across 100 countries and 70 million people, each year. In fiscal year 2020, CARE and partners worked in 104 countries to reach 92 million people directly through 1349 projects and initiatives. CARE also reached 433 million people indirectly through its advocacy, replication of successful programs and scale up of innovations. FOCUS ON WOMEN AND GIRLS In the Philippines, CARE is known for its rights-based, community-based, participatory approaches in extensive humanitarian response and development programming. Since 1949, CARE Philippines has worked to deliver life-saving aid to communities most at need and has effectively done so by investing in local partnership-building with civil society, government, and the private sector. Across our work in emergencies and community resilience, we have been intuitively gender-conscious; we have deliberately anchored our success stories around women and their experiences; and we have trialed practices and techniques to empower women economically and meaningfully engage truly vulnerable sectors.

    Rainfall Simulations of Typhoons Kammuri and Phanfone Landfalling

    Rainfall simulations of Typhoons Kammuri and Phanfone landfalling in the Philippines Akiyoshi Wada 1Meteorological Research Institute, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0052, JAPAN [email protected] 1. Introduction In the Philippines, 4-5 typhoons make landfall in a year on average. In 2019, five typhoons made landfall in the Philippines. Heavy rain and strong winds associated with the typhoons often cause natural disasters in the Philippines. Wada and Gile (2019) showed that cumulation parameterization in a nonhydrostatic atmospheric model (NHM) is required to accurately simulate the distribution of rainfall associated with a typhoon. However, other factors affecting rainfall simulations such as the mutual effect between ocean coupling and cloud physics have not been investigated so far. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ocean coupling and inhibition rates of evaporation of rain, snow and graupel included in the cloud physics on the rainfall simulation in the cases of Typhoon Kammuri and Phanfone using the NHM coupled with the multilayer ocean model and the third-generation ocean surface wave model (CPL) (Wada et al., 2010, 2018). 2.
