PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY OF CYCLONIC STORMS∗

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1978
ABSTRACT Precipitation efficiency is a single parameter for estimating the precipitation production ability of atmospheric moisture release mechanisms. Analysis of twenty cyclonic storms occurring in the eastern United States revealed distinct precipitation efficiency patterns with highest efficiency occurring in the cold sectors and at the cold fronts.

Cyclonic Storms and Odisha Coast

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
The state of Orissa on the east coast of India is called the disaster gateway as it is one of the most vulnerable states in the country with a very high probability of cyclonic hits. The present research analysed that the countryhas had a series of studies on the mathematical modelling of the cyclonic surges or social analysis of the human apathy ...

Storm Surges from Extra-Tropical Cyclones

Natural Hazards, 2004
The possible influence of climate change on the tracks of the extra-tropical cyclones as well as storm surges is studied. Two differentdata bases have been used: one for the Great Lakes of North America and the otherfor the German Bight in the North Sea of Europe.

Cyclone Gonu storm surge in Oman

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2010
Super Cyclone Gonu is the strongest tropical cyclone on record in the Arabian Sea. Gonu caused coastal damage due to storm surge and storm wave impact as well as wadi flooding. High water marks, overland flow depths, and inundation distances were measured in the coastal flood zones along the Gulf of Oman from 1 to 4 August 2007.

FPSO Transient Responses During Cyclonic Storms

Volume 1: Offshore Technology; Special Symposium on Ocean Measurements and Their Influence on Design, 2007
This paper presents the key results and conclusions of the study of FPSO transient responses in the cyclonic storm. The measured wind, wave and current data of recent cyclonic events are utilized to simulate the FPSO responses in terms of mooring loads, vessel yaw motion and relative FPSO heading to waves as it weathervanes in the wind, waves and ...

Storm cyclones in the North Atlantic

Russian Meteorology and Hydrology, 2014
Considered are long-term features and characteristics of storm activity variability in the North Atlantic based on the method of automatic identification of cyclone centers using the data on sea level pressure as well as the estimates of the maximum speed of the surface wind in the area of cyclones.

US tropical cyclone flood risk: Storm surge versus freshwater

Risk Analysis, 2022
AbstractDespite persistent record‐breaking flood losses from tropical cyclones (TCs), the United States continues to be inadequately prepared for TC flood events, with the deficiency in residential flood insurance being a prime representation of this.

Physically based storm transposition of four Atlantic tropical cyclones

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
In this article, a method for the storm transposition of tropical cyclones is presented. This method is physically based as it uses a regional atmospheric model to reconstruct the precipitation depth field from a tropical cyclone, thus crucially conserving the mass, momentum and energy in the system. In this physically based storm transposition method,
