    An Investigation on the Variations of Sea Level Due to Meteorological Disturbances on the Coast of Japanese Islands(II)* Storms Surges on the Coast of the Japan Sea

    Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan Vol.24, No.4, pp. 178 to 190, August 1968 An Investigation on the Variations of Sea Level due to Meteorological Disturbances on the Coast of Japanese Islands(II)* Storms Surges on the Coast of the Japan Sea Ichiro ISOZAKI** Abstract: Storm surges on the eastern coastal line of the Japan Sea are studied. In contrast with the Pacific coast, extraordinary destructive surges hardly develop there because shallow waters such as bays or a continental shelf are comparatively small. Generally speaking, the effect of atmospheric pressure is roughly hydrostatic, and northeasterly winds cause the descent of sea level and southwesterly winds the ascent of it since the shore line runs from southwest to northeast. However, the fluctuations of sea level are different remarkably according to the course of atmospheric disturbances as well as topography of the coast. Case studies are made in detail for four storms which took different courses. In some cases we can clearly recognize a typical external surge which follows the storm considerably later at a very low speed of about 3•`4m/sec along the continental shelf from the southern entrance of the sea to Noto Peninsula. Its low speed is explained by assuming a shelf wave of Robinson's type. A curious fact that the sea level sinks before the arrival of the storm is also discussed. to northeast, we can find peculiar surges on the 1.

  • Statistical Considerations of Pressure Oscillations Occurring Near the Typhoon Center

    Statistical Considerations of Pressure Oscillations Occurring Near the Typhoon Center

    Statistical Considerations of Pressure Oscillations Occurring near the Typhoon Center by Sadao Yoshizumi Meteorological Research Institute, Tokyo (Received November 30, 1973) Abstract The aim of this paper is to make a statistical investigation of the pressure oscillations occurring near the center of a typhoon. An analysis of the barograms recorded on the Southwest Islands, Japan, during the decade from 1956 to 1965 shows that the occurrence frequency of the oscillations with the maximum double amplitude exceeding 3 mb is approximately 10%, and the frequency of those with the maximum amplitude of 2 mb or larger is about 30%. In order to get a clue as to the relationship of pressure oscillations to an elliptical eye, the reported frequency of an elliptical eye is also examined in this paper, based on the data obtained from flight observations. The reported frequency of an elliptical eye is estimated to be about 10%, and is considered to be fairly independent of the central pressure. Considerable agreement of the occurrence frequencies of both pressure oscillations and an elliptical eye suggests that pressure oscillations are closely related with an elliptical eye. From an examination of reports on an eye shape in cases where pressure oscillations were recorded, it is inferred that some of oscillations are associated with an elliptical eye. 1. Introduction It is well known that a barogram during the passage of a tropical cyclone often shows oscillatory pressure variations with various periods, superimposed on the V-shaped trace accompanied by the storm system. Included among the pressure oscillations are pressure ripples with the period of 10 min to one hour and gusty oscillations with the period of 1 sec to 5 min (FUJITA, 1952).

    Okinawa Typhoons, 1954 – 1956

    P2.45 OKINAWA TYPHOONS, 1954 – 1956 Fred S. and Thresa K. Hickernell* Phoenix, Arizona Abstract: Typhoons coming close to the island of Okinawa interrupted the otherwise idyllic summer season. I was stationed as a weather forecaster for a two year period at Kadena Base Weather Station as a part of my military obligation. This was my first introduction to single station analysis and forecasting typhoons. Okinawa is affected by an average of four to six named typhoons from May to October. That a typhoon will pass near Okinawa in July is listed as an almost sure thing by the weather center in Japan. The typhoons were usually tracked by reconnaissance aircraft out of Guam, the Philippines, and Japan. If a typhoon was close to Okinawa, it could be tracked on radar. This paper is historical in nature, reporting the weather and typhoon activity on Okinawa some fifty-five years ago. This was before satellite observations became available. 1. Introduction My introduction to typhoons was the day after I arrived at the weather station, Kadena AFB on Okinawa th Fig. 1.

  • Reconsidering Human Commodification in Slavery

    Reconsidering Human Commodification in Slavery

    Journal of Social History Advance Access published February 4, 2016 NICHOLAS TRINEHART The Man That Was a Thing: Reconsidering Human Commodification in Slavery Abstract Downloaded from This essay examines a longstanding normative assumption in the historiography of slavery in the Atlantic world: that enslaved Africans and their American-born de- scendants were bought and sold as “commodities,” thereby “dehumanizing” them and treating them as things rather than as persons. Such claims have, indeed, helped historians conceptualize how New World slavery contributed to the ongoing http://jsh.oxfordjournals.org/ development of global finance capitalism—namely, that slaves represented capital as well as labor. But the recurring paradigm of the “dehumanized” or “commodi- fied” slave, I argue, obscures more than it reveals. This article suggests that historians of slavery must reconsider the “commodifi- cation” of enslaved humanity. In so doing, it offers three interrelated arguments: first, that scholarship on slavery has not adequately or coherently defined the precise mechanisms by which enslaved people were supposedly “commodified”; second, that the normative position implied by the insistence that persons were treated as things further mystifies or clouds our collective historical vision of en- by guest on December 3, 2016 slavement; and third, that we should abandon a strictly Marxian conception of the commodity—and its close relation to notions of “social death”—in favor of Igor Kopytoff’s theory of the commodity-as-process. It puts forth in closing a reconsti- tuted conceptualization of the slave relation wherein enslaved people are understood as thoroughly human. Book titles tell the story. The original subtitle for Uncle Tom’s Cabin was “The Man Who Was a Thing.” In 1910 appeared a book by Mary White Ovington called Half a Man.
