3B.3 HURRICANES IOKE (2006) AND FLOSSIE (2007): EXAMPLES OF RECENT OPERATIONS AT CPHC Sam Houston * and Wes Browning Central Pacific Hurricane Center/NWS/NOAA, Honolulu Hawaii 1. INTRODUCTION The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) is collocated with the National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Office in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to providing advisory products when a tropical cyclone is in the CPHC Area of Responsibility (AOR), the forecasters at the Forecast Office in Honolulu routinely issue public, aviation, marine, and other specialized diagnostic and forecast weather products for Hawaii, as well as vast areas of the Pacific Ocean. Recently, the forecasters at CPHC have been able to take advantage of the improvements in hurricane track forecast Fig. 1. Hurricane Ioke’s track in the Central and intensity models, satellite North Pacific during 20-27 August 2006. technology, information technology, and training to provide better forecasts of tropical cyclones that occur north of the equator between 140oW and the Dateline. The 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons will be used to illustrate some of these improvements. Hurricanes Ioke of 2006 (Fig. 1) described by Nash et al. (2007) and Flossie of 2007 (Fig. 2) discussed by Craig et al. (2008) were major parts of these seasons. 2. REFERENCES Fig. 2.

Investigation and Prediction of Hurricane Eyewall
INVESTIGATION AND PREDICTION OF HURRICANE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLES By Matthew Sitkowski A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 4/9/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: James P. Kossin, Affiliate Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Daniel J. Vimont, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Steven A. Ackerman, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Jonathan E. Martin, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Gregory J. Tripoli, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences i Abstract Flight-level aircraft data and microwave imagery are analyzed to investigate hurricane secondary eyewall formation and eyewall replacement cycles (ERCs). This work is motivated to provide forecasters with new guidance for predicting and better understanding the impacts of ERCs. A Bayesian probabilistic model that determines the likelihood of secondary eyewall formation and a subsequent ERC is developed. The model is based on environmental and geostationary satellite features. A climatology of secondary eyewall formation is developed; a 13% chance of secondary eyewall formation exists when a hurricane is located over water, and is also utilized by the model. The model has been installed at the National Hurricane Center and has skill in forecasting secondary eyewall formation out to 48 h. Aircraft reconnaissance data from 24 ERCs are examined to develop a climatology of flight-level structure and intensity changes associated with ERCs. Three phases are identified based on the behavior of the maximum intensity of the hurricane: intensification, weakening and reintensification.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

Madden/Julian Oscillation: Recent Evolution, Current Status and Forecasts
Madden/Julian Oscillation: Recent Evolution, Current Status and Forecasts Update prepared by Climate Prediction Center / NCEP August 21, 2006 Outline • Overview • Recent Evolution and Current Conditions • Madden Julian Oscillation Forecast • Summary Overview • The MJO remains weak. Based on the latest observations and model forecasts, continued weak MJO activity is expected during the next 1-2 weeks. • During week 1, there is an increased chance for above normal rainfall for sections of the eastern Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, northern South America, Central America, Mexico and the southwest US. Also, favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis are expected in the eastern Pacific. • Hurricane Ioke will impact shipping in the north-central Pacific Ocean and tropical depression 10E is expected to strengthen to hurricane status during week 1. • Also, there is evidence that conditions are becoming more favorable for tropical cyclone development for areas in the Atlantic Basin. These include the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern Atlantic especially at lower latitudes. • No definitive statements can be made regarding potential hazards/benefits during week 2. 850-hPa Vector Wind Anomalies (m s-1) Note that shading denotes the magnitude of the anomalous wind vectors Slightly enhanced southwesterly Couplet of westerly / easterly anomalies across the eastern flow into South Asia.

On the Interaction of Tropical Cyclone Flossie and Emissions from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano
PUBLICATIONS Geophysical Research Letters RESEARCH LETTER On the interaction of Tropical Cyclone Flossie 10.1002/2014GL060033 and emissions from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano Key Points: Andre Pattantyus1 and Steven Businger1 • Volcanic emissions are shown to fi enhance storm electri cation 1Department of Meteorology, University of Hawai‘iatMānoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA • SO2 emissions oxidize to sulfates which cause aerosol loading • Aerosol-TC interactions are simulated fi with atmospheric dispersion model Abstract On 29 July 2013, Tropical Storm Flossie passed the Hawaiian Islands. This is the rst interaction between an active, vigorously degassing volcano and a tropical cyclone captured by a vog (volcanic smog) dispersion model run over the Hawaiian Islands since operational simulations began in 2010, providing a unique opportunity to analyze the influence of robust volcanic emissions entrained into a tropical cyclone.

Handling Storms at Sea : the Five Secrets of Heavy Weather Sailing
HANDLING STORMS AT SEA Overleaf: What is blue-water sailing really like when it’s stormy and big seas are running? Here’s my Santa Cruz 50 hurrying eastward near Marion Island in the Southern Ocean. The ever-faithful windvane is steering nicely while I play with the mainsail reefs and adjust the sails as the boat races through the water and makes great whooshing sounds as she surfs forward on a wave. You know that the yacht will rise up as the next crest comes, but sometimes you wonder if she is buoyant enough. You take a deep breath and say a silent prayer.

JULY 2019 G I L F O R D E T A L . 2417 Seasonal Cycles of Along-Track Tropical Cyclone Maximum Intensity DANIEL M. GILFORD Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey SUSAN SOLOMON AND KERRY A. EMANUEL Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts (Manuscript received 24 January 2019, in final form 19 April 2019) ABSTRACT This study investigates relationships between observed tropical cyclone (TC) maximum intensities and potential intensity (PI) over the seasonal cycle. To directly compare observed and potential intensities, one must account for month-to-month variability in TC tracks and frequencies. Historical TC best track data and reanalysis PI calculations are combined to develop an along-track record of observed maximum and potential intensities for each storm in the satellite-era (1980–2015) across four ocean basins. Overall, observed maxi- mum intensity seasonal cycles agree well with those of along-track PI. An extreme value theory application shows that at least 25 storms must be observed in a given month to have high confidence that the most intense wind speeds of historical TCs follow along-track PI seasonality. In the North Atlantic and Southern Hemi- sphere regions, there are too few observed storms outside their traditional TC seasons, limiting PI applica- bility across the seasonal cycle. Small intraseasonal along-track PI variabilities in these regions are driven by TC thermodynamic disequilibrium and sea surface temperatures. Thermodynamic disequilibrium drives seasonal cycles of eastern North Pacific along-track PI and observed maximum intensity, which minimize in August and maximize in June and October.
