Typhoon Eye: The “False Quiet” of the Storm Center
Many people have heard that the Typhoon eye is "windy" or even "sunny", which has a certain basis in meteorology. Typhoon eye position at the center of the tropical cyclone, by at centrifugal action, the outer high-speed rotation of the air flow can not go to the center, which causes the air pressure to be very low, the air flow to sink.
First, Typhoon eye diameter is usually only a few dozen km, for the affected area, it passes time very short, may only a dozen minutes to one h. Second, not all Typhoon have clear eye areas, only the strongest intensity, the structural mature tropical cyclones (such as Severe Typhoon or Super Typhoon level) are more likely to appear the obvious Typhoon eye.
Why is typhoon forbidden to go outside?
When the Typhoon Eye passes through your area, although the storm temporarily stops, it is not a danger to get rid of, but it may be the most dangerous moment.
- The wind is stronger.Typhoon is the reverse clock rotation (N hemisphere), after the first half of the cycle, followed by the attack of the second half of the cycle. the wind direction of the latter half of the cycle is opposite to the previous half, and often because the air pressure gradient is larger, the wind force is stronger than the previous one, the destructive force is stronger.
- Extremely vulnerable environmentAfter the first half of Typhoon's storm, outdoor trees, billboards, bars, etc. may have been damaged or in a state of shaking.
- Misguided viewShort-term calm and possible sunlight will create the illusion of “Typhoon has passed,” thus relaxing alertness.If you stay outdoors, it is likely that you will be trapped by a sudden storm Rainstorm on the way, facing the risk of drowning, being crushed or blowed down.
According to the National Standard of Tropical Cyclones of the China Meteorological Administration, as long as the Typhoon Early Warning Signal is effective, it means that there is a serious threat. locally shut down, the specific criteria for shutdown may vary, according to the local government issued. but in any case, as long as the meteorological department has not officially lifted the alarm, residents should stay in the indoor safe area, closed doors, windows, away from glass windows, do not go out for a moment of calm.
Safety first, safety first
In the face of Typhoon, the most central principle is “avoid”. During the Typhoon impact, keep an eye on the official weather warning information.If you are in the area through which the Typhoon eye passes, use this brief Time inspection of property in the home, reinforce the door window, rather than outdoors.
