HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL

PHENOMENA AND HAZARDS


• HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARD
• Can be defined as 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.
TROPICAL CYCLONES TYPHOON Thunder Storm
HYDRO METEOROLOGICAL HAZARD

FLASHFLOOD Flood STORM SURGE


• TROPICAL CYCLONES
• A tropical cyclone is a
rapidly rotating storm
system with a low-
pressure center, a closed
low-level atmospheric
circulation, strong winds,
and a spiral arrangement
of thunderstorms that
produce heavy rain and
squalls.
• TYPHOON
• A typhoon is a tropical
cyclone that develops
between 180° and 100°E in the
Northern Hemisphere and
which produces sustained
hurricane-force winds of at
least 119 km/h (74 mph).This
region is referred to as the
Northwestern Pacific Basin,
accounting for almost one
third of the world’s tropical
cyclones.
• THUNDERSTORM
• Is a storm characterized by
the presence of lightning
and its acoustic effect on the
Earth’s atmosphere, known
as thunder. Relatively weak
thunderstorms are
sometimes called
thundershowers
• FLAShFLOODS
• A flash flood is a rapid flooding
of low-lying areas: washes,
rivers, dry lakes and
depressions. It may be caused
by heavy rain associated with
a severe thunderstorm,
hurricane, or tropical storm, or
by meltwater from ice or snow
flowing over ice sheets or
snowfields.
• Flood
• Floods are the most frequent
type of natural disaster and
occur when an overflow of
water submerges land that is
usually dry. Floods are often
caused by heavy rainfall, rapid
snowmelt or a storm surge from
a tropical cyclone or tsunami in
coastal areas.
• STORM SURGE
• Storm surge is the rise in
seawater level caused solely by
a storm. This example illustrates
water level differences for storm
surge, storm tide, and a normal
(predicted) high tide as
compared to sea level. Storm
surge is the rise in seawater
level caused solely by a storm
• Tornado
• A narrow, violently rotating column
of air that extends from a
thunderstorm to the ground. Because
wind is invisible, it is hard to see a
tornado unless it forms a
condensation funnel made up of
water droplets, dust and debris.
• Tornado
• A narrow, violently rotating column

How does Tornado formed?
• Winds moving in different speeds and
directions at different altitudes cause the
rising air to start spinning. Air that spins as it
rises is typical in a supercell, the strongest
type of thunderstorm, but not all spinning air
creates a tornado. For a tornado to form,
there also needs to be spinning air near the
ground
• El Niño
• El Niño–Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) is a global climate
phenomenon that emerges from
variations in winds and sea
surface temperatures over the
tropical Pacific Ocean. Those
variations have an irregular
pattern but do have some
semblance of cycles. The
occurrence of ENSO is not
predictable.
• La Niña
• La Niña refers to the
periodic cooling of sea-
surface temperatures
across the east-central
equatorial Pacific. It
represents the cold phase
of the ENSO cycle. El Niño.
Warmer than normal
tropical Pacific sea surface
temperatures.
