    Hydrometeorological Hazards

    Uploaded by

    MARGARITA MARIANO
    This document discusses various hydrometeorological hazards including tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, floods, flash floods, and storm surge. Tropical cyclones originate over tropical waters and rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. They are classified based on maximum sustained wind speeds. On average, 19 tropical cyclones enter the Philippines area of responsibility each year. Thunderstorms produce lightning, strong winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail or tornadoes. Floods and flash floods result from overflowing streams or bodies of water or water accumulating in normally dry areas. Storm surge is the rise in seawater caused by tropical cyclone winds and pressure drops near the storm center.

    HYDROMETEOROLOGI

    CAL HAZARDS

    Prepared by:
    Margarita A. Mariano
    TROPICAL CYCLONE
     a rotating, organized system of clouds and
    thunderstorms that originates over the tropical waters.
     rotate in a counterclockwise direction in the northern
    hemisphere (conversely, clockwise in the southern
    hemisphere).
     encompasses tropical depressions, tropical storms,
    typhoons and hurricanes.
    Classification of Tropical
    Cyclones
    1. TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) - a tropical cyclone
    with maximum sustained winds of up to 61 kph.
    2. TROPICAL STORM (TS) - a tropical cyclone with
    maximum wind speed of 62 to 88 kph.
    3. SEVERE TROPICAL STORM (STS) - a tropical cyclone
    with maximum wind speed of 89 to 117 kph.
    4. TYPHOON (TY) - a tropical cyclone with maximum wind
    speed of 118 to 220 kph.
    5. SUPER TYPHOON (STY) a tropical cyclone with
    maximum wind speed exceeding 220 kph.
    TROPICAL CYCLONE
    TROPICAL CYCLONE
    Every year, an average of 19 tropical
    cyclones enter the Philippines Area of
    Responsibility (PAR), and about half (9-10)
    make landfall in the Philippines. In the Western
    Pacific Ocean, tropical cyclones can form in any
    month of the year.
    HURRICANE, TYPHOON, CYCLONE
    Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same
    weather phenomenon; we just use different names for
    these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and
    Northeast Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The
    same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is
    called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South
    Pacific and Indian Ocean
    THUNDERSTORM
     are generally local storms produced by cumulonimbus
    clouds and are always accompanied by lightning and
    thunder, usually with strong wind gusts, heavy rain and
    sometimes with hail and/or tornado.
     typical in warm environments like the tropics and may
    persist for 1 to 2 hours. Below is the list of things that
    you can to do before, during and after a thunderstorm
    event.
    THUNDERSTORM
    FLOOD/ FLASHFLOOD
     the overflowing of the normal confines of a
    stream or bodies of water, or the accumulation of
    water over areas that are not normally
    submerged.
     flooding may last days or even weeks
     flash floods are also caused by heavy
    precipitation in a short period of time, usually
    less than 6 hours.
    FLOOD
    STORM SURGE
     the rise and onshore surge of seawater as the
    result primarily of the winds of a tropical cyclone,
    and secondarily of the surface pressure drop
    near the center of the tropical cyclone.
     the height of storm surge is dependent on the
    size, intensity and movement of the tropical
    cyclone, shape of the coastline as well as near
    shore underwater topography and astronomical
    tides.
