چکیده:
طوفان های حاره از پدیده های مهم پیرامون خط استوا هستند که در نیمه گرم سال در نیمکره شمالی یا جنوبی ایجاد می شوند. این چرخندها با گذر از اقیانوس و تکیه بر منبع عظیم انرژی گرمایی نهان تبخیر، قدرت قابل توجهی می یابند و در مدت کوتاهی به یکی از مخرب ترین مخاطرات طبیعی تبدیل می شوند. هدف این مطالعه، مقایسه و تحلیل ساختاری چرخندهای دریای عرب و عمان به منظور بررسی نقش پارامترهای جوی، اقیانوسی در تعیین مسیر حرکت آن هاست. بدین منظور با استفاده از آمار موجود در مرکز مشترک اخطار طوفان، اطلاعات مربوط به چرخندها تهیه شد. همچنین با استفاده از داده های باز تحلیل پایگاهECMWF متغیرهای فشار سطح دریا، ارتفاع ژئوپتانسیل سطح ۸۵۰ هکتوپاسکال، دمای سطح ۱۰۰۰هکتوپاسکال و دمای سطح دریا در محدوده -۵ تا ۴۰ درجه عرض شمالی و ۴۰ تا ۸۰ درجه طول شرقی برای مدت زمان حیات چرخند استخراج گردید. تولید و تحلیل نقشه ها نیز در محیط GRADS و ArcGis با استفاده از تغییرات آزیموت، روابط همبستگی و قوانین کشش و رانش انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که در لحظه تشکیل، جهت حرکت همه چرخندها به غیراز گونو شمال غرب بوده و همبستگی قوی منفی بین دما و فشار سطح دریا در زمان شروع وجود داشته است. اما به جز چرخند گونو در سایر چرخند ها زمان تغییر مسیر بازمان رسیدن آن به اوج، یکی نیست. تحلیل نقشه های فشار سطح دریا نیز نشان داد که مسیر حرکت چرخندهای موردمطالعه از قوانین کشش و رانش پیروی کرده و حاکمیت پرفشارها در فصل سرد باعث شده چرخندهای نیلوفر و چاپالا نسبت به سایر، به سمت عرض-های بالا گسترش پیدا نکنند.
IntroductionTropical cyclones(TC) are the important hazardous phenomena in tropical zones that impact on subtropical regions of both hemispheres. These storms originate from tropical sea and oceans where the sea surface temperature is at least 27°c.
The abnormal development of two tropical cyclones (Gonu and Yamin) in June 2007 concerns to the Arabian Sea more warming than to the Bay of Bengal. Generally، the tropical storms that are formed in Arabian sea tend to move to the west and north side and rarely were entered to the Gulf of Oman but the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) recent publications showed that a few numbers of these strong storms entered the Gulf of Oman and can impact on the Iranian coastline in north of Gulf of Oman.
The aim of this study was to compare and analyze the tropical cyclones in Arabian and Gulf of Oman structurally in order to investigate the role of the atmospheric and oceanic parameters in determining the tracks of these cyclones.
Material and MethodsAt first، according to the statistics available in the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)، the characteristics of tropical cyclones including Gonu، Phet، Nilophar، Ashoba and Chapala were extracted and the principle components of these cyclones such as wind speeds، velocity and tracks from formation to vanishing were analyzed. Also، the directions of Tc were plotted by using ArcGIS and calculated angles of azimuth.
In the next step، by using reanalyzed data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)، the variables such as sea level pressure، 850 hp Geopotential height، sea surface temperature and surface temperature for the life periods of cyclones were extracted and by using Grads software، the maps for 5-up to 40° north latitude and 40° to 80° East longitude، was prepared. Finally، the correlation coefficient between sea surface temperature and pressure were calculated and based on the “Traction and driving” rules، similarities and differences of these tropical cyclones were analyzed.
Results and DiscussionGonu on June 1، 2007، at azimuth 270° was formed in the east of Arabian Sea، then moved to the North West and by reaching to the coasts of Oman changed direction to northern coasts of the Gulf of Oman.
The maximum intensity was on June 4 that it turned to the form of a super cyclonic storm and with peak، 3-min sustained winds reaching 240 km/h (150 mph) and an estimated pressure of 920 HP. Gonu was a Category 5 tropical storm، according to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Phet cyclone was formed as a tropical disturbance on May 31، 2010، at azimuth 320 °.
During the second and third days of its activity، the intensity of this tropical cyclone reached to peak and was a category 2 tropical storm، according to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
This system by changing its tracks converted to a tropical cyclone on 5 June and crossed southern coast of Pakistan near Karachi. The minimum sea level pressure (SLP) has occurred in northern and southern coasts of Oman and Pakistan and the maximum temperature in the West and South West Indian subcontinent has been recorded. The northward spread of high pressure in the southwest of Indian subcontinent to accompany with a strong ridge cause the Phet TC drive to west and northwest. In the next day’s subtropical high-pressure deployment in the southern part of the Arabian Sea and Arabian Peninsula have prevented the establishment of Phet TC on the Gulf of Oman.
Niloofar TC was formed on October 25، 2014، and moved at azimuth 320° to the north west. The intensity of this tropical cyclone reached to peak and on 29 October was a category 3 tropical storm، according to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
The highest sea surface temperature and the air temperature in the TC location are respectively 28.8°c and 27°c. The correlation coefficient between temperature and pressure was negative in the onset of Niloofar TC and increase to 0.8 in the peak of activity. The wide high-pressure system in the north of Afghanistan، Pakistan and the Caspian Sea prevented the transition of Niloofar TC to the northern latitudes.
A low-pressure system at the same time with the onset of southwest monsoon was formed in the Arabian Sea on June 6، 2015، and moved to the north and northwest after the intensification. Since the wind speed of Ashoba tropical storm was not too much، it was not in the category of the Saffir-Simpson scale. The coincidence of low-pressure areas and maximum temperature at the time of deployment of Ashoba tropical storm justifies the correlation between these two factors well. High-pressure systems in the south of the Arabian Sea، north of Iran and northern areas of Arabia prevented the northward transition of Ashoba tropical storm and caused the system to be concentrated in the south of Yemen and southern Oman.
Chapala on October 28، 2015، was originated in the form of a tropical disturbance from a low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea and by a movement towards the west on 30 October reached its maximum intensity and ranking in category 4، according to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
During the Chapala TC activity، in high latitudes، the high-pressure systems were prevailing and acted like an obstacle to control the location and movement of the cyclone to the north.
ConclusionAnalysis of tropical cyclonic tracks azimuth were showed except the Gonu TC that changes its direction depending on the sudden rising and decreasing of velocity، in other cyclones these changes do not follow certain trends.
Also، in Gonu and Ashoba TC minimum pressure regions coincident with maximum temperature and there was a significant correlation between sea surface temperature and pressure.
The analysis of sea level pressure showed that according to the laws of “attraction and driving”، the cyclones tracks have been influenced by the movement of low-pressure and high-pressure centers. The Niloofar and Chapala TC، due to differences in the season of formation and the prevailing of high-pressure systems، cannot move to northern latitudes.
Finally، the establishment of high-pressure systems in higher latitudes and season have important roles in displacement the tropical cyclones to the northern coasts of Oman and Gulf of Oman.
