    This document discusses typhoons, including their formation, anatomy, and categorization. It provides objectives like defining typhoon, cyclone and hurricane. It also lists the strongest, deadliest, and costliest typhoons to hit the Philippines, such as Typhoon Haiyan which was the strongest storm on record. Facts about tropical cyclones are given, noting they form near the equator in warm seas and lose strength over land. The document outlines how typhoons form from warm ocean waters and humid air with low wind shear.

     Typhoon, Cyclone & Hurricane

     A “typhoon” is the term used to describe the same weather


    feature as a “cyclone” or a “hurricane”: the term Typhoon is used
    for intense low pressure weather systems in the northwest
    Pacific; the term Cyclone is used when referring to an intense low
    pressure weather system over the Indian Ocean and the South
    Pacific; and, the term Hurricane is used when referring to an
    intense low pressure weather system over the Atlantic Ocean and
    East Pacific.
     Of interest, only one Hurricane has ever been recorded over the
    South Atlantic (March 2004), although weather systems that
    developed in the South Atlantic during March 2010 and March
    2011 were classified as tropical cyclones for a few days each
    before dissipating. Some suggest that the fact that these weather
    systems have been recorded only within this century is additional
    evidence of Man-induced climate change - no credible alternative
    explanation has been accepted.
     What Is A Typhoon?
     A Typhoon is an intense area of low atmospheric
    pressure. Like all low pressure weather systems observed
    North of the Equator, the air rotates around the center of
    an area of low pressure in an anti-clockwise direction
    (clockwise if South of the Equator). The more intense the
    area of low pressure the higher the wind speeds near the
    center. A Typhoon is a low pressure weather system with
    sustained wind speeds near its center of at least 56 knots
    (about 105 kph).
     What Makes A Typhoon?
     Typhoons are made over the ocean; typhoons are not made over
    land.
     To make a Typhoon you need a lot of warm, moist air evaporating
    off the ocean surface and rising rapidly, creating the area of
    relatively low pressure - a weather system. The rapid rising of the air
    mass and the subsequent condensation of the moisture at altitude,
    combined with the rotation of the Earth, are the necessary energy
    components to facilitate rotation of the weather system; a Tropical
    Depression (TD) is formed. When the upper atmospheric conditions
    are conducive then the rotation is accelerated and the weather
    feature forms into a Tropical Storm (TS). Assuming the Tropical
    Storm remains over an area of warm ocean - with a sea surface
    temperature above 26 degrees Celsius - then the weather system
    will most likely continue to increase in rotation speed until it reaches
    the status of a typhoon – sustained wind speeds in excess of 56
    knots near its center. If the sea surface temperature is less than 26
    degrees Celsius then a typhoon has insufficient energy and cannot
    sustain itself; if the sea surface temperature is greater than 32
    degrees Celsius then the weather system may become overpowered
    and may dissipate, but this does not always happen.

    Where Are Typhoons Made?
     In the northern hemisphere of the planet, Tropical Depressions can form
    anywhere in the tropical region (5 - 22 degrees latitude). where the sea
    surface temperature is above 26 degrees Celsius; only rarely do Tropical
    Depressions form close to the equator (0 - 5 degrees latitude). Tropical
    Depressions tend to move haphazardly until they reach Tropical Storm
    status, at which point they tend to move in a westerly or northwesterly
    direction. A Typhoon will almost always move northwest until it reaches the
    subtropical zone (18 - 25 degrees latitude) when it will usually turn North and
    then finally northeast before dissipating over cooler water.
     Typhoons with sustained wind speeds in excess of 115 knots (about 200 kph)
    are frequently referred to as Super Typhoons, equivalent to a category 4
    storm in the Atlantic; a Super Typhoon can have wind speeds near its center
    in excess of 150 knots, these are becoming more frequent.
     With Man-induced climate change now apparently unstoppable, the
    associated increase in sea surface temperature is also creating stronger
    storms, more frequently. On 6th November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan (Philippine
    name Yolanda) made the record books as the strongest storm ever to make
    landfall anywhere around the planet, as it smashed into the town of Guiuan,
    on the southeast corner of Samar, Philippines, with wind gusts in excess of
    200 knots (370 kph) . . . it also generated a storm surge of (estimated) 7
    metres high
     How Hurricanes Form
     In order for a hurricane to form, at least two things must be
    present. An existing low pressure weather disturbance needs to
    move over warm ocean waters. Hurricanes thrive on warm
    water and will typically only form when water is above 80
    degrees Fahrenheit. The combination of warm air and warm
    water allows a hurricane to develop. Other favorable
    ingredients for a tropical cyclone are humid air and low
    vertical wind shear, which is the change in wind velocity with
    height.
