  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

  • 10.7 Positive Feedback Regimes During Tropical Cyclone Passage
    10.7 POSITIVE FEEDBACK REGIMES DURING TROPICAL CYCLONE PASSAGE Lynn K. Shay Division of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science University of Miami 1. INTRODUCTION Coupled oceanic and atmospheric models to accurately predict hurricane intensity and structure change will eventually be used to issue forecasts to the public who increasingly rely on the most advanced weather forecasting systems to prepare for landfall. Early ocean-atmosphere studies have emphasized the negative feedback between tropical cyclones and the ocean due to the cold wake beginning in back of the eye (Chang and Anthes 1978; Price 1981; Shay et al. 1992). The extent of this cooling in the cold wake is a function of vertical current shears (known as entrainment heat flux) that reduce the Richardson numbers to below criticality and subsequently cools and deepens the oceanic mixed layer (OML) through vigorous mixing. Notwithstanding, early studies did not consider the relative importance of deep, warm OML associated with Caribbean Current, Loop Current, Florida Current, Gulf Stream and the warm eddy field. Since pre-existing ocean current structure advects deep, warm thermal layers, cooling induced by these physical Figure 1: a) Hurricane image and b) a cartoon showing processes (Fig.~1) is considerably less (e.g. less physical processes forced by hurricane winds. negative feedback) as more turbulent-induced mixing is required to cool and deepen the OML.

    Loss of Life in the United States s Associated with Recent Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Edward N. Rappaport NOAA/NWS/Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida ABSTRACT A database was established for the period 1970-99 to assess the threat to life in the contiguous United States and adjacent coastal waters from Atlantic tropical cyclones. Freshwater floods caused more than one-half of the 600 U.S. deaths directly associated with tropical cyclones or their remnants during that 30-year period. More than three-quarters of the victims under age 13 died in rain-induced floods. Most fatalities occurred in inland counties. Storm surge losses were significantly (but perhaps only temporarily) less than in previous periods of comparable length. This paper pre- sents a statistical summary of the casualties, explores reasons for the losses, and reviews efforts to mitigate the threats. 1 .

  • Haiti's Emergency Management
    Haiti’s Emergency Management: A Case of Regional Support, Challenges, Opportunities, and Recommendations for the Future Erin Fordyce1, Abdul-Akeem Sadiq2, and Grace Chikoto3 Introduction As one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere (with over 70 percent of the population living on less than $2 a day) (Grunewald et al. 2010), one wonders about the state of the Haitian Emergency Management System prior to the 2010 earthquake. Clearly, Haiti has been an economically-challenged nation for decades and its protracted poverty level further increases its vulnerability to disasters (PAHO 1994) and impacts its ability to respond and recover effectively when disasters occur. In addition, political instabilities have led to poor economic development opportunities and increased risks. In spite of Haiti’s economic and political challenges, it is possible to gain insight into what the country’s emergency management system looked like before the 2010 earthquake. Haiti had a fledgling national emergency management system in place - one that was heavily supported by both regional and international bodies. The earthquake of January 12, 2010, however, underscores the need for a better disaster reduction and response program, one that would address the underlying and protracted vulnerabilities of Haiti, while ushering in new winds of change that would pump fresh blood into the veins of the emergency management system. This chapter reviews the history of Haiti, including its demography and geography, and examines the hazards and factors contributing to the nation’s vulnerability to disasters. Furthermore, this chapter discusses some past disasters, Haiti’s emergency management system as well as the opportunities and the challenges confronting the system.
