1441 Words6 Pages

3. Unusual Rainfall Study
Indonesia area has three types of climate based upon the rainfall characteristic namely monsoonal-, local and Equatorial types. Both monsoonal- and equatorial types of the rainfall characteristic are majoring rainfall character of Indonesia area that every the end of the year up to beginning next year has much more rainfall especially over monsoonal types to be maximum number of the total monthly rainfall. The climate types based upon the rainfall characteristic over Indonesia area to be shown in the figure 1 (BMG, 1990). Figure 1 : Climatic type of the Indonesia rainfall characteristic(BMG, 1990)
Unusual atmospheric condition would be subjected anomaly values of the cloud cover and rainfall. Anomaly …show more content…

Where Rossby wave would be in term of the double vortices in the lower atmospheric level. Each vortex was located ones every each hemisphere. The negative anomaly value of the sea surface temperature on December 2017 were observed that the below normal, it might have not so much moisture condition for cloudless condition over Indian Ocean and some places of Indonesia Maritime Continent area.
From this study would like to conclude that the dynamics of oceanography and meteorology during end 2017 up to beginning 2018 could be classified the unusual atmospheric condition over Indonesia Maritime Continent. Where the global phenomena of La Nina would not work properly to be due to divergence of the regional surface wind to encourage downward motion and then less cloud cover and …show more content…

    Additionally, the Schoolcraft unit was deposited following a lull and drop in regional sea level as indicated by the massive erosional structure found at the base of the member (Ehlers, 1973).

    The cyclone strikingly got stronger as a result of a temperature contrast between the cold air to the northwest and the warmth and humidity from the remains of hurricane Grace. As the low pressure system proceeded to get deeper, hurricane Grace changed to a secondary contributor to the extraordinary sea conditions. It had a strange reverse motion for a nor’easter. The centre of the extratropical low strayed southeastward and then south westward,

    Hurricanes exist to cool down the tropics. Planetary heat systems sprout from relatively small storms, and grow into a large storm and can eventually start to spin thanks to earth's top like motion. Hurricanes can form fast and grow quickly. They can also travel across oceans very fast. When hurricanes reach land they leave huge amounts

    However, activity went dormant for over a month and a half. On July 31, Baker developed in the Gulf of Mexico. In August, two tropical storms developed – Charlie and Dog-Easy. September featured five tropical cyclones, including Fox, George, and How, as well as two tropical depressions.[2] George, more commonly known as the Fort Lauderdale hurricane, was the most intense tropical cyclone of the season, peaking as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 938 mbar (27.7 inHg). October also had five tropical cyclone, including Item, King, Love, an unnamed storm, and a tropical depression.

    Each chapter plays a role in the development of climates around the world. Temperature, air pressure, and winds all play their individual role in each location's own climate. Weather is our short-term while climate is long-term so these correspond with each other. Forecasting of these two is connected yet very different at the same time.

    On a sunny day, the land absorbs heat from the sun more quickly than the water does. The air over the land becomes warmer as some of this absorbed heat is radiated back into the air. The warmer air begins to rise, and the cooler air over the water moves in to take its place. At nighttime when the sun goes down, the land cools off quickly, but the water does not. The water radiates some of its stored heat into the air, and this warmed air begins to rise.

    An early proponent of the idea that the Moon’s craters were impact-generated rather than volcanic, Dietz expected such craters to have been formed also on Earth. However, he noted, Earth is geologically active and has an ocean and atmosphere, so these craters would have been eroded, deformed, and recycled. Certain ancient circular structures on Earth had characteristics that Dietz, along with a few other renegades, assigned to impact rather than volcanism. In this field, he is best known for having interpreted the Sudbury structure in Canada as a deformed and eroded impact structure. Dietz was thinking about how the Hawaiian chain of islands and seamounts might be moving on a “conveyor belt.”
