Since Anna's track WLLS at an unusually low latit'ude, upper-airdata were sparse. Only when the, center was near a reporting station would t'he lower windsbe affected, but the available500-mb. data gave little indicationof a hur- ricane. However, at 200 rnb. a well-developed anticyclone was centeredto the northeast of Annaand maintained this same relative position as the storm moved through theCaribbean. Operat'ing as an efficient outflowmech- anism, this anticyclone played an important part in Anna's developmentand maintenance. This relationship of the two dependent systems could occur only ina deep easterly circulation such as existed over the Caribbean during this period, and may explain why thc size and int'erlsity of Anna remained so stat'ic. Some minor damage occurred at Trinidad and Grenada, but t'here were no casualties.Considerable damage was report,etl along tlle extreme northern Honduras coast with several hundred houses damaged or dest'royed, and many pltintationssuffered heavy damage to fruit' trees.

  • Mean Five-Day Pressure Pattern of the Great Atlantic Coast Storm, March 1962 Arthur I
    JULY1963 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW 337 MEAN FIVE-DAY PRESSURE PATTERN OF THE GREAT ATLANTIC COAST STORM, MARCH 1962 ARTHUR I. COOPERMAN AND HANS E. ROSENDAL US. Weather Bureau, Washington, D.C. [Manuscript received March 6, 1963; revised March 27, 19631 ABSTRACT A mean sea level pressure map is drawn for the North Atlantic Ocean for the period of the Atlantic Coast storm of March 5-9, 1962 and anomaly and normalized departure charts are presented. A comparison is made with the January 8-12, 1956 storm during which some of the greatest pressure anomalies associated with severe extratropical coastal storms of the 20th century occurred. It is noted that in the typical northeaster a ridge usually extends east-southeastward or southeastward over the Il'orth Atlantic Ocean from a High located over eastern Canada and Labrador. The ridge was very weak in the March 1962 situation and the resulting pressure pattern produced winds with easterly components of an unusually long fetch from the British Isles to the coastal waters of the United States. Return periods or mean recurrence values were computed, from an extreme value probability analysis based on 17 years of 5-day mean sea level pressure grid point data, for the intensity of cyclones and anticyclones associated with the March 1962 and January 1956 storms. The extreme easterly flow was computed between 35' and 45' N. from 55O to 75" W. and return periods of 18 years and 11 years were found for the January 1956 and March 1962 storms, respectively. 1.

Legal and administrative basis of the import restrictions The statutory authority on which current import controls are based is the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947, which empowers the Central Government to issue Orders prohibiting, restricting or otherwise controlling, subject to any exceptions made by Order, the import of goods of any specified description. The procedure governirig the exercise of these powers are contained in the Import Control Order No. 17/55 of 7 December 1955, as amended from time to time, notified. under the Act cf 1947. Schedule I to this Order lists the goods for whose importation a licence or a customs clearance permit given by the competent authority is essential. The Order, however, exempts from this requirement imports for defence purposes, imports of government stores by the appropriate.Ministries and purchase organizations, passengers' baggage and personal effects, etc. The Order provides for the collection of application fees and specifies the conditions governing the grant of licences, their transfer, amendment, suspension and cancellation. Import control is administered by the Import and Export Trade Control Organisation of the Ministry, of Commerce. Besides its headquarters office in New Delhi, the organization has twelve regional Licensing offices in the different parts of the country. The organization is responsible for licensing imports of various goods, e.g. capital goods, however electrical plant and equipment, raw materials for different industries, etc.

SED Archives, IfGA, ZPA, Central Committee files, Walter Ulbricht's office, Internal Party Archive, J IV 2/202/130.. Now that the first part of the task of preparing the peace treaty has been carried out, I would like to inform the CPSU CC Presidium about the situation. The implementation of the resolution on the closing of the border around West Berlin went according to plan. The tactic of gradually carrying out the measures made it more difficult for the adversary to orient himself with regard to the extent of our measures and made it easier for us to find the weak places in the border. I must say that the adversary undertook fewer counter- measures than was expected. The dispatch of 1500 American bandits would bother the West Berliners more than we do.

  • Hurricanes and the Forests of Belize, Jon Friesner, 1993. Pdf 218Kb
    Hurricanes and the Forests Of Belize Forest Department April 1993 Jon Friesner 1.0 Introduction Belize is situated within the hurricane belt of the tropics. It is periodically subject to hurricanes and tropical storms, particularly during the period June to July (figure 1). This report is presented in three sections. - A list of hurricanes known to have struck Belize. Several lists documenting cyclones passing across Belize have been produced. These have been supplemented where possible from archive material, concentrating on the location and degree of damage as it relates to forestry. - A map of hurricane paths across Belize. This has been produced on the GIS mapping system from data supplied by the National Climatic Data Centre, North Carolina, USA. Some additional sketch maps of hurricane paths were available from archive material. - A general discussion of matters relating to a hurricane prone forest resource. In order to most easily quote sources, and so as not to interfere with the flow of text, references are given as a number in brackets and expanded upon in the reference section. Summary of Hurricanes in Belize This report lists a total of 32 hurricanes. 1.1 On Hurricanes and Cyclones (from C.J.Neumann et al) Any closed circulation, in which the winds rotate anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere or clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, is called a cyclone. Tropical cyclones refer to those circulations which develop over tropical waters, the tropical cyclone basins. The Caribbean Sea is included in the Atlantic tropical cyclone basin, one of six such basins.
