Typhoon Susan
The names Susan and Sue have been used for fifteen tropical cyclones worldwide: one in Pacific hurricane, the Central Pacific Ocean, one in South Pacific tropical cyclone, the South Pacific Ocean, twelve in Typhoon, the Western Pacific Ocean, and one in Australian region tropical cyclone, the Australian region. In the Central Pacific: * Hurricane Susan (1978) – a Category4 hurricane that initially tracked toward Hawaii before sharply veering away, resulting in no land effects In the South Pacific: * Cyclone Susan (1997–98) – a Category5 severe tropical cyclone that became among the most intense tropical cyclones in the South Pacific and affected Vanuatu, Fiji, and New Zealand In the Western Pacific: * Typhoon Susan (1945) * Typhoon Susan (1953) – a Category3-equivalent typhoon that affected Hong Kong * Typhoon Susan (1958) – a Category3-equivalent typhoon * Tropical Storm Susan (1961) * Typhoon Susan (1963) – a Category4-equivalent typhoon * Typhoon ...

Tropical Cyclone
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure area, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is called a hurricane (), typhoon (), tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, or simply cyclone. A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is the same thing which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, comparable storms are referred to as "tropical cyclones". In modern times, on average around 80 to 90 named tropical cyclones form each year around the world, over half of which develop hurricane-force winds of or more. Tropical cyclones tropical cyclogenesis, typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of water ...

Typhoon Susan (1963)
The 1963 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1963, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1963 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. This is also the first season in which the Philippine Weather Bureau (which became the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA in 1972) assigned local names to tropical depressions that enter or form i ...

Pacific Hurricane Set Index Articles
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean, or, depending on the definition, to Antarctica in the south, and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east. At in area (as defined with a southern Antarctic border), the Pacific Ocean is the largest division of the World Ocean and the hydrosphere and covers approximately 46% of Earth's water surface and about 32% of the planet's total surface area, larger than its entire land area ().Pacific Ocean .

List Of Storms Named Susang
The name Susang has been used to name six tropical cyclones in the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the Western Pacific Ocean, all named by the PAGASA. The name ''Susang'' replaced '' Sening'' after the latter was retired because of a 1970 typhoon: * Typhoon Bess (1974) (T7423, 27W, Susang) – a minimal typhoon which nevertheless brought heavy rainfall to Luzon, Hainan, and Vietnam, resulting in 26 fatalities and 3 missing people; the name ''Bess'' was retired after this storm. * Tropical Depression Susang (1978) – a weak system which affected Palau, the Philippines, and Vietnam. * Typhoon Judy (1982) (T8218, 19W, Susang) – a Category 2-equivalent typhoon that made landfall in Japan, causing 26 fatalities and 8 missing people. * Tropical Depression Susang (1986) – a weak tropical depression which was only recognized by PAGASA. * Tropical Depression Susang (1990) – another short-lived tropical depression that was only monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JM ...

Cyclone Sue (1975)
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 ...

Typhoon Susan (1988)
The 1988 Pacific typhoon season was a very active season in terms of named storms, though it only featured 11 typhoons and 1 super typhoon. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1988, but most tropical cyclones formed between May and November. Tropical storms that formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names. A total of 26 tropical cyclones formed this year in the Western Pacific, of which all became tropical storms. Of the 26, 10 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 1 reached supertyphoon strength. Nine tropical cyclones moved through the Philippines this season, making this season the most active for the archipelago so far this decade. Seasonal summary Image ...

Tropical Storm Susan (1984)
The 1984 Pacific typhoon season had the second-latest start in the basin on record, only behind the previous year, 1983, by one day. Despite this, it was above average in terms of named storms and featured many intense storms. It ran year-round in 1984, but again all tropical cyclones formed between June and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. A total of 44 tropical depressions formed this year, of which only 27 became tropical storms and were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. This made the season above average when compared to the long term mean of 25 storms per season. Additionally, tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names. This year, a total of 20 sto ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tropical Storm Susan (1981)
The 1981 Pacific typhoon season was a slightly above average season that produced 29 tropical storms, 13 typhoons and two intense typhoons. The season ran throughout 1981, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Freda, developed on March 12 while the final storm, Lee, dissipated on December 29. Tropical cyclones only accounted for 12 percent of the rainfall in Hong Kong this season, the lowest percentage for the protectorate since 1972.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean to the north of the equator between 100°E and 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones which can often result in a cyclone having two names.

Tropical Storm Susan (1975)
The 1975 Pacific typhoon season was the deadliest tropical cyclone seasons on record, with nearly 229,000 fatalities occurring during the season. Despite this, it was one of the least active on record, with only 21 named storms forming throughout the year. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1975, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names. Some of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
