Transcript of The Phenomenon Of Tropical Cyclone
IntroductionIntroduction
Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
Many holidaymakers are forsaking Mediterranean locations such asSpain and Greece for longer haul destinations in the Caribbean andthe south-eastern states of the USA like Florida. Bermuda in place ofBenidorm, Miami instead of Magalluf!
Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
A wise move it would seem; warm i l hi h dtropical seas, high temperatures and
sunshine are guaranteed…. Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
...but it is just these characteristics that make Tropical cyclones such a danger in late
summer and early autumn.Why???
Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
In the west Atlantic and C ibb J l ACaribbean July, August and September are the
h hmonths when most Tropical cyclones (H i )(Hurricanes) occur.
Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
These intense storms are found in most tropical oceans; calledHurricanes in the Atlantic and Caribbean, Typhoons in the Pacific,Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Willy Willies in northernCyclones in the Indian Ocean and Willy Willies in northernAustralia, they all originate in the same way.

Tropical Cyclones are defined by the following characteristics:
• They are tropical, meaning that they are generated in tropical areas of the ocean near the Equatorof the ocean near the Equator.
• They are cyclonic, meaning that their winds swirl around a central eye. Wind direction is counterclockwise (west to east) in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise (east to west) in the SouthernNorthern Hemisphere and clockwise (east to west) in the Southern Hemisphere (more about this later).
• They are low-pressure systems. The eye of a hurricane is always a low-pressure area. The lowest barometric pressures ever recorded h d i id h ihave occurred inside hurricanes.
• The winds swirling around the center of the storm have a sustained speed of at least 74 mph (119 kph / 64 kt).

Hurricane FormsHurricane Forms
Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB
Hurricanes form in tropical regions where there is warm gwater (at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit / 26,5 degrees Celsius), moist air and converging equatorial winds. Most Atlantic hurricanes begin off the west coast of Africa, starting as thunderstorms that move out over the warm, tropical ocean waters.

Stages of development of a tropical cyclone
Stage Description
Tropical wave A trough of low pressure in the trade-wind easterlies
T i l A moving area of thunderstorms in the Tropical disturbance
gtropics that maintains its identity for 24 hours or more
T i l A tropical cyclone in which the maximum Tropical depression
p ysustained surface wind is _38 miles/hour ( _61 km/hour; _33 knots)
Tropical storm A tropical cyclone in which the maximum p p ysustained surface wind ranges from 39 miles/hour (62 km/hour; >33 knots) to 73 miles/hour (117 km/hour; <64 knots)
Hurricane/ typhoon/ cyclone
A tropical cyclone in which maximum sustained surface wind is _74 miles/hour ( _118 km/hour; _64 knots)
Armstrong F. Armstrong F. SompotanSompotan, , SSiSSi / UNIMA/ ITB/ UNIMA/ ITB
Three events must happen for hurricanes to form:
• A continuing evaporation-condensation cycle of warm,humid ocean air.
• Patterns of wind characterized by converging windsat the surface and strong, uniform-speed winds athigher altitudes.
• A difference in air pressure (pressure gradient)b h f d hi h l i dbetween the surface and high altitude.

Hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise (west to east) and move through the ocean clockwise (east to west).
In the Southern Hemisphere, hurricanes rotate clockwise (east to west) and p ( )move counterclockwise (west to east). These motions, known as the Coriolis
effect, are caused by the Earth's rotation. Armstrong F. Sompotan, SSi / UNIMA/ ITB

Wind StressWind Stress
A common reprasentation of a Hurricane Wind Strees Distribution is the Rankine Vortex (Chang and Athens 1978).
The tangential and radial Wind Stress components are given by :

Nondimensional FrameworkNondimensional FrameworkAn important nondimensional number in the mixed layer is the BurgerAn important nondimensional number in the mixed layer is the BurgerNumber (M), which measures the importance of the horizontal pressuregradients (Price,1983):
M = (1 + 1/S2)g’ h / (2Rmax f)2
Notes: S is the nondimensional storm speed (Uh/2Rmaxf)h is the mixed layer depthg’ is reduced gravityg is reduced gravityUh is the storm translation speed2Rmax is ratio of the scale of the wind stress
Price (1983) suggests that the frequency shift above the local inertialfrequency {(σ-f)/f} is equal to M/2.

Ocean CurrentOcean CurrentU i d b dUpper ocean current measurements are contaminated by storm-generatedsurface wave. Sanford et al (1987) developed a least-squares model toaccount for surface wave motion, which for the u-component of currentvelocity is
um = [Au cos (σt) + Bu sin (σt)]ekz
Notes : Au and Bu are the least squares coefficients for the u-velocity componet (Table 17)σ is the surface wave frequency (2π/T)T is wave periode (nominally 5 15s)T is wave periode (nominally 5-15s)k is the wavenumber (σ2/g)g is the acceleration of gravity.
These current velocities are subtracted from the original AXCP current profiles using the coefficients in Table 17 and 18.p g
