On the Decay of Tropical Cyclone Winds Crossing Narrow Landmasses
A method is developed to adjust the Kaplan and DeMaria tropical cyclone inland wind decay model for storms that move over narrow landmasses. The basic assumption that the wind speed decay rate after landfall is proportional to the wind speed is modified to include a factor equal to the fraction of the storm circulation that is over land. The storm circulation is defined as a circular area with ...
متن کاملTropical cyclone Tracy – numerical guidance then and now
The passing of over three decades since tropical cyclone Tracy devastated Darwin on Christmas Day 1974 provided a reason to reflect upon the progress of numerical weather prediction over that period. Each decade was characterised by major model changes. In Australia, the 1970s saw the operational implementation of a 7-level baroclinic filtered model at a grid spacing of 254 km, with rudimentary...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Assessing the impacts of tropical cyclone Tracy on residential building stock – 1974 and 2008
Tropical cyclone Tracy (Tracy) remains one of the most destructive natural hazard events in Australia’s history. Growth in the population and size of Darwin since 1974 makes it desirable to know what impact an event similar to Tracy would have on the present day built environment. To assess the impacts in 1974 and the present day, we apply the Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM) developed at Geo...
