TROPICAL CYCLONES IN AUSTRALI A Tropical cyclone is one of the most common natural hazards in Australia. It’s also called ‘typhoon’‚ ‘hurricane’‚ ‘tropic storm’ and so on. If you look at the climatological data for tropical cyclone‚ you can find out that the actual shape of a tropical cyclone is almost the same as a whirlpool. How could this amazing phenomenon happen? There’re several conditions needed to develop a tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones are formed above the ocean

They have clockwise wind circulations and produce gale force winds. These winds can extend hundreds of kilometers from the cyclone center Tropical cyclones can persist for many days and many follow quite

AMELIA DATE OF EXPERIMENT : 9 MARCH 2015 1.0 INTRODUCTION This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cyclone body diameter upon collection efficiency. The cyclonic separator is an important and popular type of dust-removal equipment. In this experiment 50 gram of kaolin was used as sample to study the particulate collection efficiency of double cyclone system. A cyclone collector can

Tropical Cyclones: Cyclone Larry A tropical cyclone is a powerful tropical storm that forms between 5° and 20° south or north of the Equator over warm oceans. Once formed‚ they can last for a few days to over three weeks. They usually form over the northern areas of Australia from November-April each year. For a cyclone to be able to develop there are many key processes that have to occur. The cyclones form over oceans that have a water temperature greater than 26.5°C. When moist‚ warm air

Cyclone Tracy Cyclone Tracy has been labelled by many as the most severe Tropical Cyclone to ever affect Australia. A vast majority of Darwin was completely demolished during the 25th of December 1974. Even though the cyclone is considered small in world standards’‚ stretching with a radius of just 50km‚ Tracy was very intense. In Darwin Airport‚ a wind of 217km/h was recorded before the anemometer was destroyed. On the 20th of December 1974‚ what was soon to be Cyclone Tracy was identified in

2008 Cyclone Nargis of Myanmar Cyclone Nargis was a strong typical storm that caused the worst ever natural disaster in the recorded history of Myanmar. The cyclone hit the country on May2‚ 2008‚ causing havoc and at least 146000 fatalities with thousands more people still missing. The Labutta Township alone was reported to have 80000 dead‚ with about 10000 more deaths in Bogale. Damage was estimated at over US 10 billion. Which made it the most catastrophic cyclone in Myanmar.

Cyclone Nargis‚ crossing the south of Burma over two days‚ can accord recognition for bringing devastating loss to the Ayeyarwady Delta region ‚ particularly to the extremely vulnerable social groups within. As the United Nation estimates‚ 2.4 million people were affected due to this category 4 cyclone that sustained winds of 210 km per hour‚ and in light of this‚ the mitigation and response following the cyclone proved to be poor and limited. This was accountable to several factors including governmental

Cyclonic Storm Nilam (IMD designation: BOB 02‚ JTWC designation: 02B‚ also known as Cyclone Nilam) was the worst tropical cyclone to directly affect south India since Cyclone Jal in 2010. Originating from an area of low pressure over the Bay of Bengal on October 28‚ the system began as a weak depression 550 km (340 mi) east-northeast of Trincomalee‚ Sri Lanka. Over the following few days‚ the depression gradually intensified into a deep depression‚ and subsequently a Cyclonic Storm by October 30

the 1970 Cyclone (Nov 12-13) with cyclonic surge of 3.05m to 10.6m high with wind speed of 222 km/h occurred during high tide causing most appalling natural disaster claiming 0.3 million human lives. On the 29 April 1991 a devastating cyclone hit Chittagong‚ Cox’s Bazar‚ Barisal‚ Noakhali‚ Patuakhali‚ Barguna and Khulna along with tidal bore of 5-8m high with wind speed of 240 km/h which killed 150‚000 human beings‚ 70‚000 cattlehead‚ and the total loss was about Tk 60 billion.

Tropical Cyclones Description of Tropical Cyclones A tropical cyclone is a particular type of low pressure system that occurs in the summer months near northern Australia and composes over warm tropical waters. Cyclones can also be defined as gale force winds and heftily ponderous rain that can be highly destructive. Cyclones can cause the moving and reshaping of sand dunes‚ whilst also generating extensive erosion along the coast. They additionally create flooding‚ damage inland and landfall.
