Introduction to Typhoon

  A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere.
This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth,
accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.

  While the RSMC names each system, the main name list itself is coordinated among 18 countries that have territories
threatened by typhoons each year. Only the Philippines use their own naming list for systems approaching the country.

Case Analysis: Super Typhoon Meranti

  Super typhoon Meranti, which formed on the 10th September 2016 and lasted until
the 15th, is among the strongest typhoons in the year of 2016. It is also one of the strongest
typhoons on the record, having a maximum wind speed of 120kt (around 62m/s) and the
minimum central pressure of 890hPa.

  The figure shown next is the typhoon routes of Meranti and Haiyan (2013), the latter
also leading to a great disaster.


  The next picture shows debris lines, eroded roots of coconut trees, and so on,
which was caused by Meranti.
