Cyclones are large-scale atmospheric disturbances characterized by strong winds that rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. They occur in tropical and temperate regions globally and are known by different names depending on location, such as hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclonic storms. Cyclones form over warm ocean waters and are categorized based on wind speed. While powerful, forecasting allows for advance warning and evacuation efforts to minimize damage to infrastructure and loss of life from high winds, heavy rain, flooding, and storm surge. Mitigation involves constructing sturdy buildings, planting coastal vegetation, and managing land use and flood risks.
1) Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge flooding.
2) They are categorized on a scale of 1 to 5 based on wind speed, with category 3 and above considered major hurricanes.
3) Storm surge, which is increased by hurricane winds, causes the most damage from hurricanes and is the rising of sea water above the normal tide level.
Hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans and are categorized based on their wind speeds using the Saffir-Simpson scale. The most damaging aspects of hurricanes are storm surge, which is a dome of water swept ashore near landfall, wind damage, and inland flooding from heavy rains. Modern warning systems using satellites, aircraft, buoys and radar help detect and track hurricanes, providing critical lead time for coastal evacuations before hurricane watches are issued for threatened areas within 36 hours or hurricane warnings within 24 hours of expected strong winds.
Cyclones are intense low pressure areas characterized by very strong circulating winds. They develop over warm tropical oceans and are classified as extra-tropical or tropical depending on location. Tropical cyclones bring heavy rainfall, strong winds over 100 km/h, and storm surges which can flood coastal areas. India's east coast is most vulnerable as the Bay of Bengal sees several cyclones each year. Early warning systems and evacuation plans are needed to minimize loss of life and property when cyclones make landfall. Proper construction and site selection above flood levels can strengthen buildings to withstand cyclone winds and rains.
There are 5 categories of tropical cyclones based on wind speed: tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, and super typhoon. Tropical cyclones form over large bodies of water and the Philippines is prone to typhoons due to its location between the Pacific Ocean and South China Sea. Weather satellites and radar are the main tools used by agencies like PAGASA to monitor typhoons and predict their paths and impacts. Key factors that affect typhoons include water temperature, moisture levels, interactions with land masses, wind shear, and seasonal monsoon patterns. Several Philippine government agencies and organizations work together during typhoon disasters.
This document summarizes the key points about tropical cyclones and their impact on livelihoods. It discusses how tropical cyclones form due to factors like high sea surface temperatures and how their structure includes low pressure, strong winds and heavy rain. It then examines the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones in India and how they severely impact agriculture, fishing and access to drinking water. The document concludes by discussing steps needed for adaptation, like developing early warning systems and switching to more resilient crops.

This document discusses different types of natural disasters including floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and provides information on disaster management. It defines a disaster as a sudden event that disrupts a community's normal functioning. Disaster management aims to prevent disasters, minimize effects, and help recovery. The disaster cycle has risk reduction and recovery phases. Floods occur when water levels in streams exceed bank heights due to heavy rain. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Cyclones have spiraling winds that can cause heavy rain and flooding. Disaster management strategies seek to minimize risks through preparedness, mitigate impacts during events, and aid rehabilitation after.
Tropical cyclones require warm ocean waters, high humidity, and low wind shear to form. They develop spiral rainbands, an eye wall and eye structure, and can range from 100-600 miles in size. The Saffir-Simpson scale ranks hurricane wind speeds and damage potential from categories 1 through 5. Major hurricanes cause extensive coastal damage from high winds, storm surges, and flooding, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.
Bangladesh is prone to cyclones due to its geographic location in the Bay of Bengal. Cyclones develop over the warm waters of the Bay, gaining energy, before tracking westward towards Bangladesh. The country's low-lying delta lands provide no protection from high winds and storm surges. Some of the deadliest cyclones in history have impacted Bangladesh, such as the devastating 1970 Bhola cyclone that killed 300,000 people. Common impacts of major cyclones include heavy rainfall, flooding, and high winds that can lead to widespread damage. Climate change is also expected to increase the risks from cyclones and sea level rise in Bangladesh in the future.
Cyclones are intense low pressure areas characterized by very strong circulating winds. They form over warm ocean waters and move with the prevailing winds. When a cyclone makes landfall, it can cause widespread damage from heavy winds, storm surges, and flooding. Proper preparedness and mitigation measures such as constructing cyclone resilient infrastructure, issuing early warnings, and evacuating people to shelters can help reduce loss of life and damage from cyclones.
This document looks at natural hazards in the Caribbean. Various natural hazards affect the Caribbean but the ones that will be focused on will be: earthquake, volcanoes and hurricanes.
Tsunamis are long ocean waves caused by earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions. While tsunamis have wavelengths of up to 100 miles and wave heights of only a few feet in the deep ocean, their speed decreases and height increases dramatically as they reach shore. Even tsunami waves 10-20 feet high have enough force to cause severe destruction and loss of life when they crash onto land.
This document summarizes coastal hazards and disaster preparedness in Bangladesh. It discusses the major coastal hazards including cyclones, storm surges, flooding, riverbank erosion, coastal erosion, and subsidence. Cyclones and associated storm surges have caused devastating flooding and loss of life. Sea level rise and more frequent extreme weather events are increasing risks. Mitigation measures proposed include reinforced embankments, barriers, and developing new land while maintaining fresh water flows. Despite limited resources, Bangladesh is working to establish disaster management systems and reduce losses from natural hazards.
Tropical revolving storms, also known as hurricanes, typhoons or cyclones, develop over warm tropical waters and are low pressure systems characterized by strong winds that spiral inward toward the center. The document discusses the local names, areas of formation, and ideal conditions for tropical revolving storms to develop. It also describes their structure, movement, lifespan and associated weather, as well as different classification systems used to categorize their intensity based on wind speeds.
Hydrometeorological hazard is a process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.
This document defines and describes various hydrometeorological hazards such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, floods, droughts, heat waves, cold spells, avalanches, and blizzards. It then focuses on specific hazards like tropical cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash floods, and floods. For each hazard, the document discusses characteristics, causes, classification (for tropical cyclones), and potential impacts. It also covers monitoring technologies like satellites and Doppler radar. Finally, it provides strategies for preparedness, response, and rehabilitation related to tropical cyclones.
Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters and move towards land, gaining energy from the heat of the ocean. They are known by different names like hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons. Hurricanes form when rising warm air causes heavy rain, thunder, lightning and intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in surrounding air which spirals inward and causes very strong winds. Hurricanes are a hazard due to their strong winds over 200km/h, heavy rainfall that causes flooding, and storm surges that push sea water inland and flood coastal areas. Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 was one of the most intense hurricanes on record, causing over $300 billion in damage and hundreds of deaths across the Caribbean.
This document discusses various air-related disasters including cyclones, tornadoes, hurricanes, cloudbursts, and air accidents. It provides details on the formation and characteristics of cyclones, describing their different names in various parts of the world. Tornadoes are described along with categories of damage. Hurricanes are discussed including season, watches vs warnings, energy source, and strength measurement. Cloudbursts are summarized as brief but intense rain storms capable of flash flooding. Major air disasters and their probable causes are also mentioned.
Ecological and Environmental Impacts of Cyclones.pdfUnnikrishnan K
Cyclones form over warm ocean waters and are characterized by inward spiraling winds around a low pressure center. Major impacts include heavy rainfall, strong winds, flooding, erosion, and storm surges. The destruction depends on the cyclone's intensity, size, and location. Some specific damaging cyclones discussed are the 1970 Bhola Cyclone that killed 300,000-500,000 in Bangladesh, the 1991 Bangladesh Cyclone with winds up to 155 mph and a 20 foot storm surge that killed 138,866, and the 1999 Odisha Cyclone that was the most intense in the North Indian Ocean with winds up to 160 mph and nearly 10,000 deaths. Safety measures when a cyclone threatens include evacuating

Tropical cyclones form over tropical ocean waters and affect agriculture in Tamil Nadu. They cause heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges that can damage or destroy crops. A case study on Cyclone Thane found it caused over Rs. 5,250 crore in total losses, with over Rs. 4,000 crore in Cuddalore district alone due to damage to agricultural and horticultural crops across 200,000 hectares. Cyclones of increasing intensity can have increasingly catastrophic impacts like total crop destruction and uprooting of large trees. Rainfall distribution depends on cyclone size and speed, with more rainfall occurring close to the center.
This document discusses various hydrometeorological hazards such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, floods, droughts, and more. It provides definitions and descriptions of different types of hazards like tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash floods, floods, storm surges, El Niño and La Niña. The document also discusses how different hazards are monitored and forecasted using tools like satellites, Doppler radar, and preparedness and mitigation strategies to adopt before, during, and after hazards occur.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

2. Definition
• A cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong
center of low atmospheric pressure.
• They are usually characterized by inward spiraling winds that
rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise.
• A tornado is rotating column of air whirling at destructively
high speeds, usually accompanied by a funnel-shaped
downward extension of a thundercloud.
3. Geographical Location
Cyclones begin in tropical regions such as Pacific islands,
Northern Australia and other areas.
Tornadoes have been spotted in all continents except
Antarctica. Highest frequencies occur in the Netherlands,
and up to 1200 on average in the United States.
4. Characteristics
• Cyclones have a low pressure center which is called the "eye", and the
wind circling around is counter clockwise on the northern hemisphere
and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
• The speed of cyclones varies from 32 to 200 kmph.
• Cyclone mainly occur in a particular season and mainly affect the
coastal areas.
• Cyclones can be of three main types:
Polar
Tropical
Mesocyclones
6
5. • Tornadoes normally rotate cyclonically (when viewed from above, this is
• counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the
• southern).
• The speed of tornado varies from 60 to 480 kmph.
• Tornadoes are most common in spring and least common in winter.
• Tornadoes can be of three main types:
Multiple vortex
Waterspout
Landspout
Tornado
6. Intensity and Damage
• The scale for measuring cyclones is called the Beaufort Scale
and Saffir-Simpson scale and may vary in different countries.
• The scale for measuring the intensity of cyclones depends on the
intensity of damage and the wind speed.
• The scale ranges from negligible house damage, and destruction of
plants and tress to extensive damage and widespread destruction,
with wind speed ranging from 74 to 156 mph.
7. • The intensity of tornadoes can also vary in intensity those with a
longer track being stronger. The scale used for rating the strength of
tornadoes is called the Fujita (F), Enhanced Fujita (EF), and TORRO (T)
Scale.
• The range varies from F0, EF0 or T0 for minimal damage (damages
trees but not buildings) up to F5, EF5 or T11 for vast degree of damage
(buildings and skyscrapers end up getting damaged).
• In the United States, maximum tornadoes (80%) fall into the EF0 and
EF1 (T0 to T3) category and less than 1% are violent (EF4, T8 or more).

14. NORTH INDIAN OCEAN
• Bay of Bengal is a vast warm pool adjoining the warm pool of the
western North Pacific. Several of the precursors of the Bay of Bengal
cyclones emerge from the neighboring Pacific basin as remnant of
typhoons and re-intensify over the Bay after passing over rather narrow
strip of SE Asian countries
• Ocean currents in the Bay of Bengal are quite complex and in the post-
monsoon season low salinity warm waters begin to cover eastern
coastal waters from October to December through the East India

23. Classification of Cyclone Prone Districts
All coastal districts are cyclone prone.
Therefore, it become imperative to
decide degree of proneness.
In general, coastal districts in WB,
Orissa, AP & TN are in high to very
high category.
Some interior districts in NE
India(earlier included in BMTPC atlas)
excluded.
Cyclone proneness is very high for the
districts of south 24 praganas &
Midnapore (West Bengal), Balasore,
Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Jagatsinghpur
& Ganjam (Orissa), Nellore, Guntur,
east Godabari (Andhra Pradesh)
24. Cyclone Operation in India
• Meteorological Department, by providing Cyclone Surveillance Radars at
Calcuta in the east coast and at Goa, Bombay in the west coast.
• Satellite picture receiving equipments at Delhi, Bombay, Madras are
receiving satellite pictures of the cyclones from the polar-orbiting Satellites of
the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. Since April 1982.
• A.V.H.R.R. (Advance very High Resolution Radio-meter) Indian Geo
Stationary Satellite INSAT-LB has become operational since October 1983.
• Monitoring of the cyclone by taking hourly pictures has helped the forecaster
to improve his skill in issuing the timely warnings to the public.
SOME INDIAN ASSOCITIONS
• Area Cyclone Warning Centres (ACWC)
• Cyclone Warning Centres (CWC)
• Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)
• Northern Hemispheric Analysis Centre (NHAC)
