Tropical Cyclones In Indonesia
Indonesia is an island country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, located in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The largest island nation in the world, the country is the home of over List of islands of Indonesia, seventeen thousand islands. Climatologically, in the Australian region tropical cyclone, Australian basin, most tropical cyclones develop between November and April, or as early as October and as late as May. However, there are some cases, like Typhoon Vamei and Cyclone Viyaru that affected the country, outside the basin. This article includes all tropical cyclone of any intensity that affected the island nation of Indonesia, on all available records and data. Climatology The region of Indonesia is not generally traversed by tropical cyclones although a lot of systems have historically formed there. In an analysis of tropical cyclone data from the Bureau of Meteorology since 1907 to 2017 which was published after the dissipation of Cyclone Cempaka found that only a ...

Flores 1973-04-28
Flores is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia. Administratively, it forms the largest island in the East Nusa Tenggara Province. The area is 14,250 km2. Including Komodo (island), Komodo and Rinca islands off its west coast (but excluding the Solor Archipelago to the east of Flores), the population was 1,878,875 in the 2020 Census (including various offshore islands); the official estimate as of mid-2024 was 2,014,110.Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 28 February 2025, ''Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur Dalam Angka 2025'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.53) The largest towns are Ende, Indonesia, Ende and Maumere. The name ''Flores'' is of Portuguese language, Portuguese origin, meaning "Flowers". Flores is located east of Sumbawa and the Komodo (island), Komodo Islands, and west of the Solor Islands and the Alor Archipelago. To the southeast is Timor. To the south, across the Sumba Strait, is Sumba Island, and to the north, beyond the Flores ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyclone Selma (1974)
In meteorology, a cyclone () is a large air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure, counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere as viewed from above (opposite to an anticyclone). Cyclones are characterized by inward-spiraling winds that rotate about a zone of low pressure. The largest low-pressure systems are polar vortices and extratropical cyclones of the largest scale (the synoptic scale). Warm-core cyclones such as tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones also lie within the synoptic scale. Mesocyclones, tornadoes, and dust devils lie within the smaller mesoscale. Upper level cyclones can exist without the presence of a surface low, and can pinch off from the base of the tropical upper tropospheric trough during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. Cyclones have also been seen on extraterrestrial planets, such as Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune. Cyclogenesis is the process of cyclone formation ...
