Tropical cyclones in 2013 - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Satellite photos of 21 tropical cyclones worldwide that reached at least Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale during 2013, from Narelle in January to Bejisa in December. Among them, Haiyan (far right; on the third row) was the most intense with minimum central pressure of 895 hPa

During 2013, tropical cyclones formed in seven major bodies of water, commonly known as tropical cyclone basins. They were named by various weather agencies when they attained maximum sustained winds of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). Throughout the year, a total of 141 systems formed, with 89 of them being named. The most intense and deadliest storm this year was Typhoon Haiyan, which had a minimum pressure of 895 hPa (26.43 inHg) and at least 6,352 deaths in the Philippines. Among this year's systems, twenty-one became major tropical cyclones, of which five intensified into Category 5 tropical cyclones on the Saffir–Simpson scale (SSHWS). The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for 2013 (seven basins combined), as calculated by Colorado State University (CSU) was 618.5 units overall, which was below the 1981-2010 mean of 789.0 units globally.[1][2]

The most active basin in the year was the Western Pacific Ocean, which had 30 named systems, including one system that crossed from the Central Pacific. The Eastern Pacific Ocean had an above-average and destructive season, with 20 named storms forming; many of its systems were weak and short-lived; nine of those became hurricanes, and only one strengthened into a major hurricane. The North Atlantic had a total of 14 named storms; two of those became hurricanes. It was the first year since 1994 with no major hurricanes, Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale, and the first in the satellite era where no hurricanes reached Category 2 strength. The North Indian Ocean was active, with five named storms forming, producing the fourth-most accumulated cyclone energy in this basin on record. Activity across the Southern Hemisphere's three basins (South-West Indian, Australian, and South Pacific) was fairly significant, with the regions recording twenty-one named storms altogether, with the most intense Southern Hemisphere cyclone of the year, Cyclone Bruce in the South-West Indian, peaking with a central pressure of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg).

Tropical cyclones were primarily monitored by ten warning centers across the world, which are designated as a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These ten centers are the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Météo-France (MFR), Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), Papua New Guinea's National Weather Service (PNGNWS), the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS), and New Zealand's MetService. Unofficial, but still notable, warning centres include the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the United States's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), and the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center.

Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions[edit]

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation stayed in its neutral phase throughout the year, with no major fluctuations towards either an El Niño or La Niña event.[3] However, during May and June, sea temperatures in the far eastern tropical Pacific Ocean were well below average.[4] By October, though, they returned to normal.[5]

The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was a very inactive season, featuring only two hurricanes and no major hurricanes.

The 2013 Pacific hurricane season featured nine hurricanes, including Hurricane Manuel, the second costliest Pacific hurricane on record.

The 2013 Pacific typhoon season was the most active season since the 2004 season, deadliest since 1975, and featured Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical cyclones to ever exist.

The 2013 North Indian Ocean Season was the most active since 2010 and 2007. It also featured one of the most intense tropical systems to make landfall in India - Cyclone Phalin.

Cyclone Narelle

January was very active, featuring fourteen systems, with seven of them being named.

  6. ^ The sum of the number of systems in each basin will not equal the number shown as the total. This is because when systems move between basins, it creates a discrepancy in the actual number of systems.

1The "strength" of a tropical cyclone is measured by the minimum barometric pressure, not wind speed. Most meteorological organizations rate the intensity of a storm by this figure, so the lower the minimum pressure of the storm, the more intense or "stronger" it is considered to be.
2 Only systems that formed either on or after January 1, 2013 are counted in the seasonal totals.
3 Only systems that formed either before or on December 31, 2013 are counted in the seasonal totals.
4 The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone/basin are based on the IMD Scale which uses 3-minute sustained winds.
5 The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone/basin are based on the Saffir Simpson Scale which uses 1-minute sustained winds.
6The wind speeds for this tropical cyclone are based on Météo-France which uses gust winds.
