  • The MJO As Monitored by Both the RMM and CPC Velocity Potential Index Weakened Over the Past Few Days
    The MJO as monitored by both the RMM and CPC velocity potential index weakened over the past few days. This was expected as various convective signals are competing over the global tropics. The latest ensemble guidance suggests that a coherent enhanced phase may emerge over the Maritime Continent and propagate over the West Pacific by the end of Week-2. This is due to the fast eastward propagation of a Kelvin wave into the Eastern Hemisphere as well as the developing El Nino base state. Tropical Storm Rumbia and Typhoon Soulik formed over the West Pacific as forecast during the past few days. Tropical Storm Rumbia made landfall late August 16 near Shanghai, while Typhoon Soulik is forecast to track northwestward while intensifying to the equivalent of a category 3 on the Saffir- Simpson scale. A landfall over southern Japan on August 21 is currently forecast by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Over the East Pacific Hurricane Lane formed as a depression at 00Z August 15. It is forecast to take a track similar to Hurricane Hector, tracking nearly due west near 15N, passing south of Hawaii by the middle of next week. Subtropical Storm Ernesto formed near 38N over the North Atlantic on August 15, and is rapidly moving northeastward, forecast to become post-tropical by later today. Tropical cyclone (TC) formation is highly likely over the West Pacific in the next day or two, about 10 degrees east of where Typhoon Soulik formed. Over the East Pacific, there is a low risk of TC formation east of Hurricane Lane.

  • Typhoon 31W "Haiyan", Philippines: “Yolanda”
    Thursday, 7 November 2013 Update on Super-Typhoon “Haiyan” WHAT: Typhoon 31W "Haiyan", Philippines: “Yolanda” WHERE: Central Philippines / Earthquake affected area on BOHOL / CEBU WHEN: Night November 7/8 and Friday 8 November 2013 INTENSITY: Maximum intensity right now, 7 November, 12 UTC average wind speed 150 kt (278 kph), gusts 180 kt (333 kph), Cat 5 crossing central Philippines as Cat 4 and Cat 3 typhoon (gusts 296 kph near storm center) CONSEQUENCES FOR BOHOL 07/08 NOVEMBER 2013: - Gusts 80-140 kph - Torrential rain - landslides - flash floods - significant storm surge (~2-3 m above normal) - damage in crop - interrupted infrastructure (power lines, streets, water supply….) - very muddy surface PROBABILITY: Landfall on the island of Leyte (or Samar) around 8 November, 03 UTC Center of storm expected to pass Bohol in a distance of 150 km to the north, so most damaging winds and rain areas won’t strike directly Manila also will be outside most damaging storm area CEDIM - Haiyan is a very strong typhoon (will be probably one of the strongest ever) - will affect BOHOL earthquake area (multihazard scenario). Most intense wind and rain probably not on BOHOL. However, flash floods, landslides, storm gusts and storm surge are imminent. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION as of 7 November 2013, 12 UTC Haiyan is the fourth Cat 5 storm in the Western Pacific so far in 2013 Haiyan is the fifth Cat 5 storm on Earth so far in 2013 this is the highest number of Cat 5s since 2009, which had four Cat 5s in the Western Pacific and one in the Eastern Pacific.

Estimating the severity of the impacts of tropical cyclones (TCs) that make landfall on the Chinese mainland based on observations from 1401 meteorological stations was proposed in a previous study, including an index combining TC-induced precipitation and wind (IPWT) and further information, such as the corresponding category level (CAT_IPWT), an index of TC-induced wind (IWT), and an index of TC-induced precipitation (IPT). The current version of the dataset includes TCs that made landfall from 1949–2018; the dataset will be extended each year. Long-term trend analyses demonstrate that the severity of the TC impacts on the Chinese mainland have increased, as embodied by the annual mean IPWT values, and increases in TC- induced precipitation are the main contributor to this increase.
