Generation Mechanism of Cyclones

What are the Necessary Conditions for the Formation of the Tropical Cyclones?

» Low-level relative Vorticity (ζr) » Coriolis parameter (ƒ) » Low vertical shear » Sea surface temperatures » Vertical gradient of effective potential temperature (θe) » Middle troposphere relative humidity (RH)

Cyclones Naming

Importance for naming tropical cyclones

 It would help identify each individual tropical cyclone

 Local and international media become focused to the

tropical cyclone

 It does not confuse the public when there is more

than one tropical cyclone in the same area

 The name of the tropical cyclone is well remembered

by million of people as it is unforgettable event shoes name will long be remembered

 Warnings reach a much wider audience very rapidly

Cyclones Naming

Naming of tropical cyclones over north Indian Ocean

 The Panel member’s name are listed alphabetically

country wise

 The name will be used sequentially column wise  The first name will start from the first row of column

  • ne and continue sequentially to the last row in

column eight. Example, this will be as Onil, Hibaru, Pyar, Baaz …………. Amphan

 The names which have been already used from the

list are highlighted

  • zones. Each zone has its own IDFC

I (mm/hr) corresponding to 100 Yrs at 0.25 hr 140 174 (for IDFC of Zone 1) Gonu Effect

  • If the catchment has a time of

concentration less than 2 hours, there is no need to include cyclone effect (The manual IDFCs will be used). While if the time of concentration is more than 2 hours, cyclone effect should be taken into consideration (The manual IDFCs will not be used)

Effect of Gonu on Road Design

Flood Estimation Item Old Manual, (1994 and Its addendums) New Manual (After Gonu) 2010 Used Methods Rational and old set of Empirical equations. The regression equations are generated using very limited rainfall and flow records Rational, SCS Unit Hydrograph, and new generated set of Regression Equations. The regression equations are generated using huge number rainfall and flow records measured all over the Sultanate and taking into consideration Gonu effect Limits Rational method used for catchment areas less than or equal 10 km2 Rational method used for catchment areas less than or equal 1.3 km2 The Empirical Equations are used for catchments larger than 10 Km2 SCS unit hydrograph method is recommended for medium and large catchments

  • Two sets of regression equations

are recommended for all catchment sizes (one for All Oman except Dhofar while the other one for Dhofar region). These equations should be used in conjunction with Rational or SCS unit hydrograph method

Risk Management

What to do before and during a cyclone?

 Have your dwellings checked before a cyclone season

starts and carry out whatever repairs that are needed

 Talk to children and explain about cyclones without

scaring them

 Create storm awareness by discussing effects of a

cyclonic storm with family members so that everyone knows what one can and should do in an emergency

 Keep your valuables and documents in containers,

which cannot be damaged by water

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Risk Management

What to do before and during a cyclone?

 Keep information about your blood group  Keep lanterns filled with kerosene, torches and spare

  • batteries. These must be kept in secure places and

handy

 Make plans for people who are either sick, suffer from

disabilities, aged and children

 Store up at least seven-day stock of essential

food articles, medicines and water supply

slide-48
SLIDE 48

Risk Management

What to do before and during a cyclone?

 Keep blankets & clothes ready for making beds. Also

keep cotton bandages and several copies of photographs of family members in case they are needed for identification purposes after the storm

 Store some wooden boards so that they can be used

to cover windows

 Keep trees and shrubs trimmed. Remove damaged

and decayed parts of trees to make them resist wind and reduce the potential for damage. Cut weak branches and make winds blow through

slide-49
SLIDE 49

Risk Management

What to do before and during a cyclone?

 All doors, windows and openings should be secured  Continue to listen to warning bulletins and keep in

touch with local officials. Keep radio sets in working

  • condition. Battery powered radio sets are desirable

 Evacuate people to places of safety when

advised

 Take steps to protect your assets  Store extra drinking water in covered vessels  Remain calm

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Risk Management

What one should not do during a Cyclone?

 During the storm do not venture out unless advised to

evacuate

 If you have a vehicle and wish to move out of your

house, leave early before the onset of a cyclone. It is

  • ften best to stay at home

 Avoid remaining on the top floor of dwellings. Stay

close to the ground

 Fishermen are advised not to venture out into the sea.

They should keep boats and rafts tied up in a safe place

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Risk Management

What one should not do during a Cyclone?

 Avoid taking shelters near old and damaged buildings

  • r near trees

 Do not touch power lines. One may get electrocuted

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Risk Management

What to do after the storm?

 Watch out for broken glass and other sharp items in

debris

 Watch out for snakes and insects. Try to call for help  Listen to the advice of local officials and emergency

workers

 Be sure that the storm has subsided before venturing

  • ut

 It is advisable to wait for the "all clear message" on

radio and TV networks

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Risk Management

What to do after the storm?

 Wait for emergency relief teams to arrive. It may take

a little time before relief becomes effective

 Stay away from flooded areas  Fishermen should wait for at least 24 hours before

resuming fishing

 Volunteer to help people who may need assistance
