Gebunden. Zustand: New. KlappentextTropical cyclones are rapidly rotating storm systems which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. They have a low-pressure center, closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds and a spiral arrangement. Warm ocea.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book deals with recent advances in our understanding and prediction of tropical cyclogenesis, intensification and movement as well as landfall processes like heavy rainfall, gale wind and storm surge based on the latest observational and numerical weather prediction (NWP) modeling platforms. It also includes tropical cyclone (TC) management issues like early warning systems, recent high impact TC events, disaster preparedness, assessment of risk and vulnerability including construction, archiving and retrieval of the best tracking and historical data sets, policy decision etc., in view of recent findings on climate change aspects and their impact on TC activity. The chapters are authored by leading experts, both from research and operational environments.This book is relevant to cyclone forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, graduate and undergraduate students. It intends to stimulate thinking and hence further research in the field of TCs and climate change, especially over the Indian Ocean region and provides high-quality reference materials for all the users mentioned above for the management of TCs over this region.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Tropical cyclones are rapidly rotating storm systems which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. They have a low-pressure center, closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds and a spiral arrangement. Warm ocean waters are the primary source of energy for tropical cyclones. These storms are therefore usually strongest when over or near water, and weaken quite rapidly over land. This makes coastal areas particularly vulnerable to tropical cyclones. Coastal damage can be caused by strong winds and rain, high waves, storm surges and potential tornadoes. Tropical cyclones may also cause multi-hour or multi-day heavy rains up to 40 kilometers from the coastline. Its prediction and monitoring involves the use of visible and infrared satellite imagery for tracking the motion and cloud patterns of cyclones. This book outlines the processes and applications of tropical cyclone prediction and monitoring in detail. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to this field. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
