tropical cyclones in 2016

 

[41], Prior to becoming a tropical cyclone, the precursor tropical low to Blanche led to a 24-hour record-breaking 384 mm (15.12 in) of rainfall on Point Fawcett in the Tiwi Islands, surpassing the previous record of 265.2 mm (10.44 in) set by Cyclone Carlos in 2011. [71] TCWC Perth also stated that it had a chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. Cyclones named by TCWC Jakarta and Port Moresby are rare, with the last named cyclones occurring during 2014 and 2007, respectively. The system was then classified as a Category 1 tropical cyclone and named Greg by the BoM during 30 April, as it peaked with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). Frances reached Category 3 severe tropical cyclone strength by the afternoon of 28 April, just 24 hours after reaching tropical cyclone intensity. [3] For the North-Western sub-region between 105°E and 130°E, it was predicted that activity would be above average, with a 63% chance of above-average tropical cyclone activity. The ACE index for the East Pacific basin during 2016 was 145 (x104 knots2), which about 44 percent above the 1981-2010 mean of 104 (x104 knots2). The low proceeded to move in a southeasterly direction. Geological records of past … [15] TCWC Perth continued monitoring the system until 7 January when the tropical low was located over the border of East Pilbara and North Interior. Hurricane Matthew became the first Category 5 hurricane since Hurricane Felix in 2007 and was the first Category 4 hurricane since Hurricane Cleo to strike Haiti. 2014, Donnelly et al. [49] Post analysis determined that the system briefly reached tropical cyclone intensity just before making landfall. This major hurricane drought surpassed the previous record of eight years from 1861-1868 when no major hurricane struck the coast of the United States. Embedded within a moderate to high wind shear regime, the system was expected to track south or southwest into a more favourable environment over subsequent days. Alfred remained a Category 1 tropical cyclone for almost 24 hours before weakening below cyclone strength, just before crossing the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria, in the early afternoon of 21 February. 28 June 2016 EDUCATION BUREAU CIRCULAR NO. 2016-17 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season summary The response to Tropical Cyclone Pam tested all areas and levels of emergency response, including legislation, governance, policy and planning, community Read the detailed post cyclone reports for Australian cyclones dating back to 1970. [16] After moving southward over Western Australia, TCWC Perth issued its final bulletin on 12 January. [20] Slowly intensifying, 14U reached peak intensity with winds of 85 km/h (50 mph) and a minimum pressure of 988 hPa (mbar; 29.17 inHg), though the system was never classified as a tropical cyclone by BoM due to its asymmetry. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parentheses, damages, and death totals. During the season, a total of eight tropical cyclones received a name from the BoM, either by TCWC Perth, Darwin, or Brisbane; the names are listed below. [74] By the next day, it had moved north into TCWC Jakarta's area of responsibility. [51][55] As a result of the deluge in South East Queensland, more than half of the region's dams were left above capacity. [3] They also noted that the number of significant cyclones and flood impacts had been well below average over the last five seasons. [2] TCWC Perth also noted that there was a likelihood of two tropical cyclones and a significant likelihood of at least one severe tropical cyclone impacting Western Australia. In February 2016, Cyclone Winston was recorded as one of the largest and most intense tropical cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere and had severe impacts throughout the South Pacificv. The 2016 East Pacific hurricane season had 21 named storms, including 11 hurricanes, five of which became major. Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston was a tropical cyclone in February 2016. 2016–17 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Australian region tropical cyclone seasons, Indonesian Agency for Meteorology,

Three cyclones (Gaston, Matthew and Nicole) produced more than 70 percent of the seasonal ACE. In the 2012/2013 season, there were seven named tropical cyclones (Figure 1 a; Anais (October 2012), Claudia (December 2012), Dumile (January 2013), Felleng (January 2013), Gino (February 2013), Haruna (February 2013), and Imelda (April 2013)). [60] On the morning of 6 April local time, sustained gales developed on the western side of the system, however it was still classified as a tropical low as the winds did not extend more than halfway around the storm. [51] Of note, Springbrook received nearly 900 mm (35 in) of rain, including 602 mm (24 in) in a 24-hour period. These temperatures were in stark contrast to the eastern states of Australia, which were experiencing a major heatwave during the same time. [5] The remnants of 06U crossed Southern Australia during 27–28 December, before being absorbed by another area of low pressure which approached 06U from southern Western Australia during 30 December. The system failed to develop further over the next couple of days before it moved south-eastwards into the South Pacific basin. [84], Similar to the previous system, another tropical low persisted over in the far northwest of the Western Region on 21 January. [53] Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie moved into the South East Queensland region on the afternoon of 30 March, and caused widespread rainfall of 150 mm (6 in) and wind gusts of up to 131 km/h (81 mph). [87] During the next day, the low had emerged over open waters while near the Pilbara coast. Frances continued to move in a southwest direction over the Timor Sea, continuing to rapidly intensify. [48] At around 18:00 UTC on 21 March, the Bureau of Meteorology issued another forecast track map for Tropical Low 22U, which predicted the system to make landfall near Sherlock Station, halfway between Whim Creek and Roebourne, on the night of 23 March, at the initially predicted intensity of Category 1. The low intensified into a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian cyclone intensity scale on the morning of 20 February, and was named Alfred. (2021). However, the system was not mentioned again in their next advisory. [69], On 9 November, TCWC Perth started to monitor another tropical low. Tropical cyclones are the most severe storm systems in the tropics. During 2017, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.During the year, a total of 146 tropical cyclones had formed. The system made landfall as a low during 8 February near Karratha. As a consequence, the cyclone did not have any impacts on land despite its extremely strong winds.[60]. [56] Overall, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie broke rainfall records at 62 weather stations in Queensland. [63] Despite the forecast intensification of Tropical Low 27U, a combination of factors such as land interaction with the northwest Top End and the displacement of the lower-level and upper-level circulation centres of the system due to high vertical wind shear significantly limited development, and ultimately began to degrade the system. [12][13], On 3 January, TCWC Perth started to monitor a tropical low to the northwest of the Western Region. [30], Early on 2 March, TCWC Darwin noted a developing tropical low in the north Arafura Sea,[31] followed promptly by the JTWC that afternoon. [48] The system was forecast to have a moderate chance of reaching Category 1 strength on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale on the afternoon of 23 March, prior to landfall. This was mainly a result of Hurricane Matthew's devastating landfall in southwestern Haiti where approximately 1600 deaths were attributed to the storm. The 2016–17 season opened with a tropical system in the Western Region on 23 September, just more than a month before the official start of the season. [65] The second low was first noted during 11 October, while it was located about 185 km (115 mi) to the northwest of Christmas Island. Tropical cyclone days for the SWTIO span from November through April, with an average of 15 tropical storms and named cyclones that track across the basin. On 9 December, a tropical low developed within the monsoon trough and moved slowly westwards. The low had a compact and well defined circulation, with atmospheric convection wrapping into it as it moved southwards. In the Pacific, there have been a number of intense tropical cyclones that have resulted in significant loss and damage for island states in recent years. [4] The system subsequently made landfall on the Kimberley and degenerated into a deep monsoonal low, remaining slow-moving over north-western Australia for several days. The 1981-2010 average number of named storms in the East Pacific is 16.5, with 8.9 hurricanes, and 4.3 major hurricanes. The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season had an approximate ACE of about 129 (x104 knots2) which was about 40 percent above the 1981-2010 mean value of 92 (x104 knots2) and the highest since 2012. [51] The torrential rainfall in the region caused the overflowing of the Pioneer River, and the subsequent need for nearly 100 people to be rescued from floodwaters in western Mackay. [60] The system tracked south-westwards throughout the day, before adopting a course to the south-southwest during the night. [62] It initially tracked to the west-southwest while gradually intensifying before adopting a general southerly course. [78], On 3 January, a tropical low was located inland Australia to the southwest of the Top End. [14] The system was given a "moderate" chance of strengthening into a tropical cyclone during the next day,[79] however the system remained over land while moving southwest and did not develop further. The system was downgraded to a tropical low at about 17:00 UTC, and began to accelerate while making a gradual transition to a southeasterly course. Information on specific events during the 2016 North Atlantic and East Pacific Hurricane seasons is available in the monthly reports as well as from NOAA's National Hurricane Center. There hasn't been a named storm in the West Pacific since December 17, 2015. Global Change Research Program and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change project that, more likely than not, tropical cyclones will become more intense over the 21 st century, with higher wind speeds and heavier rains. [51] South of Mackay, the Plane Creek Sugar Mill in Sarina recorded at least 1,300 mm (51 in) of rainfall. [19] During the next day, the JTWC began issuing advisories, classifying it as 03S as it moved over water. It was the period of the year when most tropical cyclones form in the Southern Indian Ocean and Pacific Oceans between 90°E and 160°E. [85] The low did not intensify and dissipated to the south of the island of Sumatra on 25 January. observations of tropical cyclones 2.1 Paleotempestology Paleoclimate records representing periods prior to the be- ginning of observational records, such as overwash depos- its and stalagmites, are increasingly being used to constrain past tropical cyclone variations at specific locations (e.g. [70] By 11 November, the JTWC classified it with a "low" chance of developing a tropical cyclone with scattered convection wrapping into its centre as it was located about 620 km (385 mi) to the northwest of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Over the next few days, Greg's remnants were tracked, as they moved westwards out of the Australian region, before they dissipated during 4 May. [82] After eventually moving into TCWC Perth's area of responsibility by 9 January, the low was designated as 10U as it was moving over land. Matthew was the strongest hurricane of the season with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (Category 5 strength) and a central minimum pressure of 934 mb. [75][76], A weak tropical low developed to the south of Bali on 4 December, though due to unfavourable conditions the system soon weakened to a low-pressure area. [27] The main river system in Perth, the Swan, also had flood warnings issued for the second time in as many weeks. For the Western region between 90°E and 125°E, the BoM forecast that the area would also see activity near its average of 7, with a 59% chance of an above average number of tropical cyclones occurring. The ACE index is used to calculate the intensity of the hurricane season and is a function of the wind speed and duration of each tropical cyclone. [60], Steady intensification continued, and the storm was upgraded to Category 1 on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale by 12:00 UTC on the same day. [51] The river later peaked at 8.8 m (29 ft), flooding hundreds of properties in the Rockhampton area. [2] The Eastern region between 142.5°E and 160°E was predicted to have a near-normal tropical cyclone season, with a 58% chance of above-average tropical cyclone activity.[2]. [86], Tropical Low 18U developed on 16 February off the western coast of Kimberley. Each one of these forecasts was for the entire tropical cyclone year between July 2016 and June 2017 took into account various factors, including the latest neutral to weak La Niña conditions that had been observed in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Typhoon Nock-ten - Dec 2016; Typhoon Nuri - Aug 2008; Typhoon Parma - Oct 2009; Typhoon Rammasun - Jul 2014; Typhoon Saola - Jul 2012; Typhoon Sarika - Oct 2016; Typhoon Sepat - … [81] On the same day, a weak tropical low had developed within a monsoonal trough of low pressure over the Cape York Peninsula, before moving into the Gulf of Carpentaria. During 29 April, Tropical Low 30U developed about 755 km (470 mi) to the north-east of the Cocos Islands, within an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear. The outlooks indicated that an above-average number of tropical cyclones were likely for the basin as a whole and the Northwestern sub-region. [66] Over the next couple of days, the system moved south-westwards while its low-level circulation centre gradually consolidated, with the system's chance of becoming a short-lived tropical cyclone improving during 13 October. About four-and-a-half months later, on 3 May, the season concluded when … On this page you can read or download memorandum geography grade 12 research project topic tropical cyclones 28 july 2016 in PDF format. The 1981-2010 average number of named storms in the East Pacific is 16.5, with 8.9 hurricanes, and 4.3 major hurricanes. Tropical Cyclones in 2016 To the left is an image of Hurricane Hermine offshore Florida on September 1, 2016, courtesy of Wikipedia. [51] The system intensified to a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale at 00:00 UTC on 25 March, and was subsequently named Debbie. This is a table of all the storms that formed in the 2016–17 Australian region cyclone season. [24] The low progressively moved southwestwards over the western Pilbara and Gascoyne region before moving back offshore between Carnarvon and Shark Bay. title = {2016 tropical cyclone cloud segmentation}, year = {2021} } RIS TY - DATA T1 - 2016 tropical cyclone cloud segmentation AU - Liang Hu PY - 2021 PB - IEEE Dataport UR - 10.21227/2ekb-hs14 ER - APA Liang Hu. Tropical Low 06U was first noted during 18 December while it was located in the Arafura Sea, about 260 km (160 mi) to the northwest of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Three of the five centres were operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane, while the other two were operated by the National Weather Service of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby and the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics in Jakarta, Indonesia. [21] Thereafter, 14U moved over cooler waters causing deep convection to dissipate, and both the JTWC and BoM issued their final advisories on 28 January.[22][23]. [68] The system was subsequently monitored over the next few days before they were last noted during 19 October after they had moved into the South-West Indian Ocean. After the least active season on record had occurred during the previous season, the BoM issued five tropical cyclone outlooks for the Australian region during October 2016. The 2016 tropical cyclone season in the Atlantic Basin was the deadliest since 2005. They evolve from a group of thunderstorms, which go through the stages of tropical disturbance, depression and storm before becoming a full-blown hurricane, typhoon or cyclone. [11] Later the same day, both the JTWC and the BoM issued their final bulletin on Yvette. A curfew was called across the country on 20 February.. [57] This figure surpassed the initial prediction of A$2 billion (US$1.55 billion), which incorporated an estimated $1.5 billion loss in coal exports, $270 million in damage to crops such as sugar cane, a $120–280 million impact on tourism in the Whitsunday region, and physical damage to both public and private property. [9] Remaining quasi-stationary under strong wind shear, convection from Yvette soon weakened; simultaneously, the storm started to move southeastwards. In accordance with satellite intensity estimates, the TCWC Darwin upgraded the low to Tropical Cyclone Blanche. The system persisted as a tropical low while tracking west-southwestwards across the Timor Sea and into the Indian Ocean, passing very close to the Kimberley coast in the process. Southern Hemisphere Tropical Cyclones: July 2015 to June 2016 Tropical Cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere. During 24 March, gales had developed around the system, and it was classified as a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian cyclone intensity scale at 06:00 UTC on the same day. By the next day, it had moved north into TCWC Jakarta's area of responsibility. Tropical cyclone reports. TC Zena is now a category 3 tropical cyclone which is forecast to impact on Fiji over the next 24 hours. On the morning of 21 April, the BOM started tracking a tropical low which had formed about 200 km (124 mi) west of Port Moresby. The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports contain comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly positions and intensities). Please send any feedback to Feedback and choose "Severe Weather (historical data)". [8] By 21 December, it had strengthened into a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale as persistent deep convection developed, and the BoM named it Yvette. Early on 23 March, a tropical low in a monsoon trough developed approximately 240 km (150 mi) north of the Cocos Islands. The 2016 East Pacific hurricane season had 21 named storms, including 11 hurricanes, five of which became major. Extended Flight Level Dataset for Tropical Cyclones (FLIGHT+, released 20 April 2016). The U.S. Tropical cyclogenesis, or the formation of a tropical cyclone, is the least understood phase of the tropical cyclone life cycle and one of the great mysteries in tropical meteorology. The western Pacific tropical cyclone drought is now the longest on record. The low continued to strengthen during 27 April, reaching Category 1 on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale at around 4:00 ACST later that afternoon, around 300 km (186 mi) northwest of Darwin, being named Frances in the process. It was the first recorded Category 5 storm to hit Fiji.It was also one of the strongest tropical cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere. [67] However, during the next day, the chances of the system developing into a tropical cyclone weakened, as a moderate to high amount of vertical wind shear impacted the low. 2016, Baldini et al. It is noteworthy that from July through September there were 18 named storms, the most for any 3-month period. [52] As the low pressure system continued to move down the coast, the Fitzroy River region experienced 48-hour rainfall totals exceeding 1,000 mm (39 in) in many places. The last major hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. was Wilma on November 24, 2005. Tropical cyclones include depressions, storms and hurricanes. [38] Around 03:00 UTC that day, Blanche moved ashore a largely uninhabited region of western Australia, the latest instance of the country's first tropical cyclone landfall for any season on record. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie caused widespread damage, especially due to extremely high rainfall totals, as it tracked down the Queensland coast. [46] Upon landfall, Channel Point was hardest hit, with rainfall peaking at 145 mm (5.71 in). [39] Once inland, the cyclone began to weaken as its mid-level circulation became dislocated from its low-level circulation, and as dry air became more prevalent. Port Hedland Airport recorded a period of gale-force winds with a peak wind gust of 94 km/h.[50]. Tropical cyclone forecast verification - southern hemisphere 2016-17 A summary of tropical cyclone activity in the southern hemisphere for the 2016-17 season together with an assessment of the performance of the Met Office global model in predicting the tracks of these tropical cyclones. Tropical Low 27U originated as a slow-moving area of low pressure in an active monsoon trough in the eastern Arafura Sea off the west coast of New Guinea on 6 April. Z. Wang, in Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences (Second Edition), 2015 Introduction. [47], On 21 March, TCWC Perth began monitoring and issuing warnings for a developing tropical low in the Indian Ocean off the Pilbara coast. The first named storm, Yvette, developed during 21 December, and the final named storm, Greg, left the region on 3 May as a remnant low. [5], A tropical low developed during 19 December within a monsoon trough of low pressure, about 660 km (410 mi) to the north-northwest of Karratha in Western Australia and was designated as 07U. [10] By 23 December, the BoM had downgraded Yvette to a tropical low as dry air began to be wrap into the centre. The people of Vanuatu are still smiling but continue to need support.
