While very long-time (multicentury) changes in the tropical climate have been investigated for decades, tropical cyclone variability on timescales longer than a few years has only recently been recognized.178,179,180,181 Variations in the ENSO phenomenon on decadal timescales have been analyzed from surface pressure and SST records extending back to the mid-19th century or even earlier.182,183 These data have been recovered from observation archives such as ship logs184 or from proxy records.175 These ENSO variations have been proposed to impact typhoon and tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, and possibly Indian Ocean basins. The 12-day journey took Ingrid from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Kimberley via the Coral Sea. Evans, J. L., 1993: Sensitivity of tropical cyclone intensity to sea surface temperature. 19. Ingrid was the ninth named storm and second hurricane of the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. Nicholls, N., 1979: A possible method for predicting seasonal tropical cyclone activity in the Australian region. The final effect of landfall on the tropical cyclone is the redistribution of its significant weather: weakening the surface pressure gradient causes the boundary layer convergence zone to shift outwards, leading to a redistribution of the convection and development of broad regions of stratiform rain (which feeds off the moisture transported onshore with the storm). The formation and initial development of cyclone storms rely upon the transfer of water vapor and heat from the warm ocean to the overlying air, primarily through evaporation from the sea surface. displacement by at least 5 latitude away from the equator. In the last 10 to 15 years, a much broader range of pathways to tropical cyclogenesis have been recognized. The seasonal cycle evident here emphasizes the importance of considering the environment in the region and time of tropical storm activity when deducing likely ET. Their hazards include: strong winds, storm surge, wind-driven waves, heavy rainfall and flooding, tornadoes, and lightning.219,220,221 The impact of tropical cyclones can be categorized as direct and indirect or secondary impact.222 Direct impacts include coastal erosion by storm surge and loss of infrastructure from wind stress. Lightning generated in the unstable coastal zone can also create a hazard (generally just offshore) to the population near the coast.38,39. Saharan Air Layer, TC formation and survival. As might be expected, a hostile environment includes at least one of the following: strong vertical wind shear (in excess of 10-15 m s-1 over a deep layer), cool ocean temperatures under the storm core (less than 26C), dry air intrusion, or landfall. 8.15) critically influence the subsequent distribution of significant weather due to that tropical cyclone. dawson mercer related to rick mercer 302 with gt40p heads horsepower stages of development of tropical cyclone ingrid. 140. Key, J. Dunion, K. Holmlund, G. Dengel, W. Bresky, and P. Menzel, 2005: Recent innovations in deriving tropospheric winds from meteorological satellites. At this stage, the disturbance was poorly organised as the systems low-level circulation was fully exposed, while atmospheric convection was building over the circulation's . Recent examples include Tropical Storm Allison (2001) which produced more than 915 mm (36 inches) of rainfall over five days, caused 22 deaths, damage to over 48,000 homes, and exceeded $5.15 billion dollars in total damage in Texas and neighboring states.
