- I learned how to identify if there is a Tropical Depression and classify a Tropical Depression according to it's Intensity;
- Tropical depression which is an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined, closed surface circulation and maximum sustained winds of less than 34 knots (39 mph).,
- Tropical Storm which is an organized system of strong thunderstorms with a defined surface circulation and maximum sustained winds between 34 knots (39 mph) and 64 knots (74 mph). and,
- Hurricane/ Typhoon which is a system with sustained winds of at least 34 meters per second or 74 miles per hour (119 km/h).
It is important to know what is Tropical Depression and what you may face during the season and what precautions to take when a storm is imminent.
Trivia:
-There are a variety of metrics commonly used to measure storm size.
-Storm "intensity" is defined as the maximum wind speed in the storm. This speed is taken as either a 1-minute or a 10-minute average at the standard reference height of 10 meters. The choice of averaging period, as well as the naming convention for classifying storms.
-Most tropical cyclones form in a worldwide band of thunderstorm activity near the equator, referred to as the Intertropical Front (ITF), the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), or the monsoon trough.
