Tastyworm: Weather The centre of circulation of Cyclone Baaz is approximately 450 km east-southeast of Chennai or 450 km northeast of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, had been tracking west-northwestward at 9 kt towards the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh Border region of Southeast India, although it seems to have again slowed and has remained stationary in the last few hours. The depression is moving to the southeast at 10 kts and is not expected to form into a tropical storm or cyclone at this point due to the increasingly cold waters into which it is heading and its swift forward speed. The centre of circulation of Cyclone Baaz is approximately 650 km east-southeast of Chennai or 500 km northeast of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, had been tracking west-northwestward at 9 kt towards Northern Sri Lanka and the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh Border region of South east India. www.tastyworm.com /weather/2005_11_01_tastywormweather_archive.html   (4950 words)

summ0108.txt If a warning centre decides not to name a cyclone and does not issue a warning because it is not a 'classical tropical cyclone', then our model (and I presume other models which use advisories in their initialisation procedures) will not have the benefit of information produced by tropical analysts. By 24/1200 UTC the former tropical cyclone was a weak LOW in the western Bering Sea near the northeastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The ship's position was well south and east of JTWC's estimated center location, and it is possible that since Pabuk was developing as (or in) a large monsoon depression, JTWC did not consider the gale-force winds to be representative of the developing tropical cyclone's intensity. www.australiasevereweather.com /cyclones/2002/summ0108.txt   (15779 words)

FAQ : HURRICANES, TYPHOONS, AND TROPICAL CYCLONES When a cyclone is located or is expected to be located such that two or more tropical cyclone warning centres are involved, every attempt is made to resolve any differences of opinion on the cyclone and its expected behaviour through discussions. Beginning on 1 January 2000, tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin are named from a new and very different list of names. The new names will be allotted to developing tropical storms by the Tokyo Typhoon Centre of the Japanese Meteorological Agency which is the RSMC for the basin. www.aoml.noaa.gov /hrd/tcfaq/B2.html   (537 words)

Bureau-Bureau of Meteorology - Surviving Cyclones Tropical Cyclones are low pressure systems in the tropics that, in the Southern Hemisphere, have well defined clockwise wind circulations with a region surrounding the centre with gale force winds (sustained winds of 63 km/h or greater with gusts in excess of 90 km/h). Cyclones have wind gusts in excess of 90 km/h around their centres and, in the most severe cyclones, gusts can exceed 280 km/h. The severity of a tropical cyclone is described in terms of categories ranging from 1 to 5 related to the zone of maximum winds. www.bom.gov.au /info/cyclone   (2365 words)

Darwin prepares for cyclone Ingrid - Breaking News - http://www.theage.com.au The NT Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC)'s Laura Chappel said forecasters were predicting the cyclone's impact would be felt in Darwin Sunday night or early on Monday. Police, the NT Cyclone Warning Centre and the NT Territory Counter Disaster Controller issued joint advice to residents to batten down and finalise "emergency kits", saying dangerously high winds could occur in the area within the next 24 hours. It is only the second time since Tracy - which killed 65 people in 1974- that Darwin has been under Cyclone Warning for a cyclone of a rating equal to, or higher than Tracy. www.theage.com.au /news/Breaking-News/Darwin-prepares-for-cyclone-Ingrid/2005/03/12/1110567749648.html   (555 words)

AIMS - Cyclone Survival - How a Cyclone is Formed The uplift of this moist air in the centre of a low cools it causing the intense rain characteristic of tropical cyclones. Cyclones vary greatly in character but the one feature they all have in common is a virtually calm centre. Tropical cyclones are the greatest storms on earth releasing in one day as much condensation heat energy as up to four hundred twenty megaton atomic bombs. www.aims.gov.au /pages/reflib/cyclones/pages/cs-04.html   (490 words)

TC LEON-ELINE (11S) REPORT - 3rd to 8th of FEBRUARY 2000 Note 1: Tropical Cyclone Advices, and Shipping Warnings used as sources for meteorological information in this report were issued by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Perth Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre and are Copyright Commonwealth of Australia 2000, Bureau of Meteorology - http://www.bom.gov.au. Whilst the above would be enough to make most think TC Leon was a spent force, subsequent warnings showed a regeneration, it was re-named Tropical Cyclone Eline by RSMC La Reunion, and went on to devastate parts of Madagascar and Mozambique. At noon WST tropical cyclone Leon, Category 1, 995 hPa, with maximum wind gusts of 100 km/hr (55 KT), had formed and was located near 12.2 S 106.4 E, 210 kilometres (115 NM) SSE of Christmas Island and moving WSW at 18 kilometres per hour (10 KT). cyclones.www9.50megs.com /2000/LeonReport.htm   (490 words)

Also, these two cyclones along with Tropical Storm Ana in April makes 2003 the first year since 1887 that three tropical storms have formed outside the nominal June to November season.

USATODAY.com - Cyclone weakens as it heads for Australian Coast The Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre said there was a possibility Ingrid could again intensify back to category five, but as a category 3 it remained as big a threat as Cyclone Tracy, which devastated the northern port of Darwin 30 years ago. At Cooktown airport, weather observer Terry Dukes said cyclones were a fact of life in Australia's tropical north and everyone was as prepared as they could be. Australia's most famous, and costliest cyclone was Tracy, which hit Darwin on the northern coast on Christmas Day 1974. www.usatoday.com /weather/hurricane/2005-03-07-cyclone-ingrid_x.htm   (676 words)

Cyclone Ingrid gathers force - National - www.theage.com.au Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre Regional Director Jim Davidson said Cyclone Ingrid was half the size of Cyclone Tracy, but had a core twice as big. Australia's worst cyclone in 30 years was tonight bearing down on the north Queensland coast as thousands of residents prepared for a double whammy of a massive king tide in the region. The worst cyclone on the east coast for more than a century formed in the Gulf of Carpentaria four days ago and had winds stronger than Darwin's Cyclone Tracy as it moved towards Cape Melville, the scene of Australia's most deadly cyclone in 1899. www.theage.com.au /news/National/Cyclone-Ingrid-gathers-force/2005/03/08/1110160787212.html   (572 words)

Articles - Tropical cyclone Forecasts for all storms are issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) based in Miami, Florida, and the NHC issues warnings on storms for all nations in the region; the Canadian Hurricane Centre, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, also issues forecasts and warnings for storms expected to affect Canadian territory and waters. In meteorology, a tropical cyclone (or tropical storm, typhoon, or hurricane, depending on strength and location) is a type of low pressure system which generally forms in the tropics. Storms reaching tropical storm strength (winds exceeding 17 metres per second, 38 mph, or 62 km/h) are given names, to assist in recording insurance claims, to assist in warning people of the coming storm, and to further indicate that these are important storms that should not be ignored. oldion.com /articles/Tropical_depression   (572 words)

IOL: Australia braces for Cyclone Ingrid The Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Brisbane said the cyclone, downgraded to category four, was about 80km north-east of Cape Melville in the eastern state of Queensland and moving towards the coast at eight kilometres an hour.

Weather Wonderland: Names of Tropical Cyclones Over the Western North Pacific Hong Kong has been using tropical cyclone names assigned by the US Armed Forces' Joint Typhoon Warning Centre at Guam since 1947. Apart from being used in forecasts and warnings issued to the international aviation and shipping communities, the name will also be used officially in information on tropical cyclones issued to the international press. With effect from 2000, the Tokyo Typhoon Centre of Japan will assign a serial number and a name from the new list to every tropical cyclone attaining tropical storm strength. www.weatherland.org.hk /tcname.html   (607 words)
