is a process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or bring catastrophic effect to oceanographic nature that may the physical assets and economic aspect.
Typhoon
also called a low-pressure area
some also call it a storm or wily- wily or hurricane
a wide and violent tropical cyclone
it rotates in the counterclockwise direction, with warm air rising above Western Pacific Ocean warm water.
PAG-ASA

Flood
is characterized as superflouos water that swaps normally dry land and properties
Flashflood
is often caused by heavy rainfall in a short time span, typically less than 6 hours.
La Niña
represents periods of under-average sea surface temperatures across the Equatorial Pacific in the east-central.
The Little Girl in Spanish. La Niña, El Viejo, anti-El Niño, or simply "a cold event"
Storm Surge
is an abnormal rise in sea level during tropical cyclones or “daluyong bagyo".
powerful winds force the ocean water over the coastal low-lying areas, which can lead to flooding.
Thunderstorm
is local storm created by cumulonimbus clouds
a powerful, short-lived weather disturbance
associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and fast, roaring winds.
3 stages of Thunderstorm Formation:
CUMULUS STAGE
where heats the sun the Earth's surface during the day and warms the air around it.
•MATURE STAGE
A cumulus cloud becomes very large, where the water therein becomes large and heavy,
raindrops begin to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up.
DISSIPATING STAGE
After 30 minutes downdrafts in the cloud begins to dominate over the updraft.
warm moist air can no longer rise, cloud droplets can no longer form.
El Niño
refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to a regular warming of sea surface temperatures around the Equatorial Pacific region and east-center.
The Little Boy, or Christ Child in Spanish.
Basic Weather Tools
Pilot Ballon/ Thedolite - Used to determine wind speed and direction at different atmospheric levels.
Radiosonde - used In measuring sound, temperature, and relative humidity.
Rawindsonde - an electronic tool used aloft to determine wind speed, strain, temperature, and humidity.
Wind Finding Radar - it determines the speed and direction of winds aloft.
Wind Surveillance Radar - detects an tracks typhoons and cloud masses 400 kilometers or less away.
