Typhoon

The document provides an overview of typhoons, including their characteristics, development, and the role of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in monitoring weather disturbances. It explains the formation of typhoons in warm ocean waters and the impact of the Coriolis effect on their movement. Additionally, it discusses the Philippine Area of Responsibility and the seasonal monsoons experienced in the region.

WHAT IS
PAGASA?
Philippine
Atmospheric,
Geophysical and
Astronomical Services
Administration

• The weather bureau of the


Philippines that monitors
weather disturbances that
enters within the PAR.
TYPHOON
• • It is an intense weather system
of circulating heavy rain, clouds
characterized by strong wind and
develops in the Western part of
the North Pacific Ocean,
accompanied with large tsunami-
like ocean waves called
stormsurges.
• •It has many names, SIGWA or
Bagyo, SIGWADA, and UNOS or
Malakas na Unos.
Typhoon
• Common hydro meteorological phenomena
• Also known as tropical cyclone and hurricane
• Storm systems characterized by rapidly spiraling
storms, low pressure-center, and intensely
strong winds.
• Typically, they begin over warm tropical waters
• TROPICAL CYCLONE is a system of
thunderstorms that are moving around a center.
As the winds intensify or weaken, the category
is upgraded or downgraded accordingly.
Typhoon
• They derive their energy from the evaporation of
water from the warm ocean surface, which
ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain while
the moist air rises and cools at the atmosphere
• The direction of the cyclones or typhoons depends
on its location on earth.
• The Northern Hemisphere, where the Philippines is
located, would have COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction
of cyclones.
The Primary Configurations of
a Typhoon
1. EYE
- is the center of the spiral
that extends about 10-100 km in
diameter. It is where the low
pressure of a tropical cyclone.
- Wind speed is low
- Somewhat calm weather
2. EYE WALL
- which is located
outside the eye, has the heaviest
precipitation and strongest wind
speed.
3. SPIRAL RAIN BANDS
- area where wind is
light or calm, and there is no
rainfall. Moves around the center
or “eye”. Clouds that spins around
d a tropical cyclone.
PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

• The area where


Northwest Pacific where
PAGASA monitors
weather disturbances
• Has 6 points
• Covers the Philippines’
territorial land
LOW PRESSURE AREA

LOCATED WHY DO THE PHILIPPINES


EXPERIENCE A LOT OF STRONG
DESTRUCTIVE TYPHOONS EVERY

NEAR YEAR?

THE
WARM
EQUATO OCEAN
R WATERS
(26.5)
How a typhoon develops?
• Tropical cyclones need water vapor in order
to form. The temperature of ocean water
must be 26.5 °C or greater.
• It occur in late summer and early fall. This is
because the ocean temperature at this time
is at its warmest. The warm temperature is
very important in the formation of low
pressure areas, the starting point of
typhoons.
• In warm ocean water, particles of water
move faster. Some have a greater speed and
can escape from the water surface through
the process of evaporation.
• The warmer the ocean, the more water
evaporates.
• Earth’s rotation makes these winds spiral
counterclockwise in the NORTHERN
HEMISPHERE and clockwise in the
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
• As earth rotates, the Coriolis effect turns
winds in the Northern Hemisphere
CORIOLIS toward the right.

EFFECT • Which is result of earth’s rotation, causes


moving particles such as air to be
deflected to the right in the northern
hemisphere and to the left in the
southern hemisphere
LPA HPA
Low pressure area High pressure area
-the pressure will rise

Air rises and forms water Causes air to sink (it does
droplets not allow clouds to form)
The air is coming from the
south
Usually results in rain and Usually results in several
storms days of clear sunny skies
MONSOONS
• Seasonal winds. The Philippines experiences
2 monsoons every year.
AMIHAN HABAGAT

Northeast monsoon Southwest monsoon

Moderate temperature Warm and humid air

Little or no rainfall Heavy rain showers

Prevailing wind from the east ; Wind blows to the west


cold dusty wind (from Siberia) (from Indian Ocean)
Begins in November or June to September
December and ends sometime
in May or June
