The TCWS system is a tiered system (from TCWS #1 to #5) that allows for the escalation, de-escalation or lifting of wind signals in every TCB issuance depending on the tropical cyclone wind intensity, the extent of tropical cyclone winds (i.e. radius of tropical cyclone wind circulation) and the forecast direction and speed of movement of the ...
There are 12 UK warnings currently issued: red warning for wind for Northern Ireland from 07:00 until 14:00 on Friday. red warning for wind for Scotland's central belt from 10:00 until 17:00 on Friday
Watch live as heavy rain and strong winds batter Taiwan’s Pingtung as Typhoon Koinu is set to make landfall on Thursday 5 October. Typhoon Koinu swept southern Taiwan earlier on Thursday ...
Wet season storm in Darwin. In northern Australia, the predominant wind is from the east or southeast in most occasions, which usually bring dry conditions. [4] Though during monsoon periods (between November to April), the winds change to northwesterly, where atmospheric pressure decreases over an area extending to Java, Sumatra, Timor Sea and eastward to Papua New Guinea.
Sir Francis Beaufort. The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before). In the 18th century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective — one man's "stiff breeze" might be another's "soft breeze"—: Beaufort succeeded ...
Monsoons are large-scale sea breezes which occur when the temperature on land is significantly warmer or cooler than the temperature of the ocean. Most summer monsoons or southwest monsoons (Filipino: Habagat) have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious amounts of rain (because of the condensation of water vapor in the rising air).
“The rumbling of Earth’s magnetic field is accompanied by a representation of a geomagnetic storm that resulted from a solar flare on November 3rd, 2011, and indeed it sounds pretty scary."
The radius of maximum wind of a tropical cyclone lies just within the eyewall of an intense tropical cyclone, such as Hurricane Isabel from 2003. The radius of maximum wind (RMW) is the distance between the center of a cyclone and its band of strongest winds. It is a parameter in atmospheric dynamics and tropical cyclone forecasting. [1]
