NIO: ex-THANE - Depression (JTWC: ex-06B)

#1 Postby Chacor » Fri Dec 23, 2011 6:40 pm

THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 3.7N
84.8E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 4.7N 87.0E, APPROXIMATELY 450 NM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF COLOMBO, SRI LANKA. ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS PERSISTENT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) IN THE NORTHERN INDIAN OCEAN MONSOON
TROUGH. A 230311Z ASCAT PASS CONFIRMED THAT THE LLCC IS WEAK.
CONVECTION OVER THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE IS BEING ENHANCED BY
INTERACTION WITH THE NORTHEAST MONSOONAL FLOW STREAMING OVER THE BAY
OF BENGAL. IN ADDITION, A WEST WIND BURST ASSOCIATED WITH A MADDEN-
JULIAN OSCILLATION IS ADDING TO THE SPIN ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE
SYSTEM. THE UPPER LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IS MIXED, WITH 20-30 KNOTS OF
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR BUT HIGHLY DIFFLUENT FLOW. 26 TO 28 DEGREE SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15
TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR
1005 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS REMAINS LOW.

Nothing from IMD.

India Meteorological Department

SUBJECT: Depression Over Southeast Bay Of Bengal.

At 17:30 PM IST, Latest satellite imagery indicates that a depression has formed over southeast Bay of Bengal and lay centered near 8.5N 88.5E, or about 1000 km southeast of Chennai (Tamil nadu), 800 km east of Trincomalee (Sri lanka), 600 km west-southwest of Port Blair (Andaman & Nicobar island).

The system is likely to move initially north northwestwards, intensify into a deep depression and subsequently into a cyclonic storm during next 48 hrs. It may then move towards north Tamil Nadu coast.

According to satellite imagery, the Dvorak intensity of the system is T1.5. The lowest cloud top temperature is about -77C. Associated broken low/medium clouds with embedded intense to very intense convection seen over Bay of Bengal south of 15.5N east of 82.0E the associated convection has increased gradually with respect to height and organization. The poleward outflow is distinctly visible in the satellite imagery, which favors intensification.

3 minute sustained winds near the center is 25 knots with a central pressure of 1000 hPa. The state of the sea is rough to very rough around the system center.

Considering the environmental features, the sea surface temperature is about 27-28C over the region. It is relatively less towards Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka coast becoming 26-27C. The ocean thermal energy is 50-80 kj/cm2 around the system center. It is 50-80 kj/cm2 to the west and west northwest of the system and less than 50 kj/cm2 near Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka coast. The Madden Julian oscillation index currently lies over phase 5. As per statistical and numerical weather prediction models predictions, it is expected to lie in phase 5 during the next one week. The phase 5 is favorable for intensification, as per past studies. The upper tropospheric ridge lies along 10N and hence provides required poleward outflow for intensification of the system. The low level convergence has increased during past 24 hours as well as upper level divergence. The vertical wind shear between 200 and 850 hpa level is moderate (15-20 kts). However, it increases towards the coast of Sri Lanka and India, becoming 20-30 knots.

Dated: Monday December 26 2011
Time of issue: 08:30 AM IST

SUBJECT: Deep Depression over southeast Bay of Bengal - Pre-cyclone watch

At 5:30 AM IST, The depression over southeast Bay of Bengal moved northwestwards and intensified into deep depression. Deep Depression BOB05-2011 lays centered over southeast Bay of Bengal near 9.5N 87.5E, about 900 km southeast of Chennai (Tamil Nadu), 700 km east-northeast of Trincomalee (Sri Lanka), 600 km southwest of Port Blair (Andaman & Nicobar Island).

The system is likely to move northwestwards, intensify into a cyclonic storm during next 24 hrs. It is likely to move northwestward initially, then west-northwestwards and cross north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh coast between Cuddalore and Nellore by early Thursday morning.

6 HRS: 10.0N 87.0E - 30 knot (Deep Depression)
12 HRS: 10.5N 86.5E - 35-40 knots (Cyclonic Storm)
36 HRS: 12.0N 84.5E - 50-55 knots (Severe Cyclonic Storm)
60 HRS: 13.0N 82.0E - 55-60 knots (Severe Cyclonic Storm)

Under the influence of this system, rainfall at most places with isolated heavy rainfall is likely over Andaman & Nicobar islands during next 24 hours. Rainfall at most places with isolated heavy rainfall is likely to commence over coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry from Tuesday December 27th

Squally wind speed of 45-55 km/h is likely to prevail along and off Andaman & Nicobar coast during next 24 hours and squally winds speed reaching 45-55 kmph likely to commence along and off Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts from Tuesday onwards.

Sea condition will be rough to very rough along and off Andaman & Nicobar Island, coast during next 48 hours and will be rough to very rough from along and off Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coast from Tuesday onwards

Fishermen along Andaman & Nicobar coast are advised not to venture into sea during next 24 hours and fishermen along Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & south Andhra Pradesh coast coasts, who are out at sea are advised to return to the coast.

DEMS-RSMC TROPICAL CYCLONES NEW DELHI 27-12-2011

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH INDIAN OCEAN (THE BAY OF BENGAL
AND ARABIAN SEA) VALID FOR NEXT 24 HOURS ISSUED AT 2100 UTC OF 26
DECEMBER, 2011 BASED ON 1800 UTC OF 26 DECEMBER, 2011 (.)

THE DEEP DEPRESSION OVER SOUTHEAST BAY OF BENGAL MOVED FURTHER
NORTHWARDS AND INTENSIFIED INTO CYCLONIC STORM THANE
AND LAY CENTRED AT 1800 UTC OF YESTERDAY, THE 26TH DECEMBER 2011
NEAR LATITUDE 11.0 DEG N AND LONGITUDE 87.5.DEG E, ABOUT 800 KM EAST-
SOUTHEAST OF CHENNAI(43279), 700 KM NORTHEAST OF TRINCOMALEE
(43418) AND 550 KM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF PORT BLAIR (43333).
THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO MOVE NORTHWESTWARDS, INTENSIFY INTO
A SEVERE CYCLONIC STORM DURING NEXT 24 HRS. THEN IT IS LIKELY
TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWESTWARDS AND CROSS NORTH TAMIL NADU AND SOUTH
ANDHRA PRADESH COAST BETWEEN CUDDALORE(43329) AND NELLORE(43245)
BY MORNING OF 30TH DECEMBER 2011.



ACCORDING TO SATELLITE IMAGERIES, THE INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM IS
T2.5. THE LOWEST CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURE (CTT) IS ABOUT -90 DEG.C
ASSOCIATED BROKEN LOW/MEDIUM CLOUDS WITH EMBEDDED INTENSE
TO VERY INTENSE CONVECTION SEEN OVER BAY OF BENGAL LATITUDE
9.0 DEG N TO 16.0 DEG N EAST OF LONGITUDE 82.5 DEG E, OVER ANDAMAN &
NICOBAR
ISLANDS AND ADJOINING ANDAMAN SEA AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION HAS
INCREASED. THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW IS DISTINCTLY VISIBLE IN THE
SATELLITE IMAGERIES, WHICH FAVOURS INTENSIFICATION.

SUSTAINED MAXIMUM SURFACE WIND SPEED IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT
35 KNOTS AROUND SYSTEM CENTRE. THE STATE OF THE SEA IS ROUGH TO
VERY ROUGH AROUND THE SYSTEM CENTRE. THE ESTIMATED CENTRAL
PRESSURE IS ABOUT 996 HPA.

BASED ON LATEST ANALYSIS WITH NWP MODELS AND OTHER CONVENTIONAL
TECHNIQUES, ESTIMATED TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM ARE GIVEN
IN THE TABLE BELOW:
DATE/TIME POSITION SUSTAINED MAXIMUM INTENSITY
(UTC) (LAT.DEG N/LONG.DEG E) SURFACE WIND SPEED(KMPH)
26-12-2011/1800 11.0/87.5 65-75 GUSTING TO 85 CYCLONIC STORM
27-12-2011/0000 11.5/87.0 75-85 GUSTING TO 95 CYCLONIC STORM
27-12-2011/0600 12.0/86.5 85-90 GUSTING TO 100 CYCLONIC STORM
27-12-2011/1200 12.5/86.0 90-100 GUSTING TO 110 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM
27-12-2011/1800 13.0/85.5 100-110 GUSTING TO 120 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM
28-12-2011/0600 13.3/84.5 100-110 GUSTING TO 120 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM
28-12-2011/1800 13.5/83.0 90-100 GUSTING TO 110 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM
29-12-2011/0600 13.0/81.5 90-100 GUSTING TO 110 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM
29-12-2011/1800 13.0/80.5 90-100 GUSTING TO 110 SEVERE CYCLONIC
STORM



REMARK:

CONSIDERING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES, THE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE
IS ABOUT 27-28 DEG. C. OVER THE REGION. IT IS RELATIVELY LESS
TOWARDS TAMIL NADU AND SRI LANKA COAST BECOMING 26-27 DEG. C.
THE OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY IS 50 - 80 KJ/CM SQUARE AROUND THE
SYSTEM CENTRE. IT IS 50-80 KJ/CM SQUARE TO THE WEST AND WEST-
NORTHWEST OF SYSTEM AND LESS THAN . 50 KJ/CM SQUARE NEAR TAMILNADU
AND NORTH SRILANKA COAST. THE MADDEN JULIAN OSCILLATION INDEX
CURRENTLY LIES OVER PHASE 5. AS PER STATISTICAL AND NWP MODEL
PREDICTIONS, IT IS EXPECTED TO LIE IN PHASE 5 DURING NEXT ONE
WEEK. THE PHASE 5 IS FAVOURABLE FOR INTENSIFICATION, AS PER OUR
PAST STUDIES. THE UPPER TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE LIES ALONG 15 DEG. N
AND HENCE PROVIDES REQUIRED POLEWARD OUTFLOW FOR INTENSIFICATION
OF THE SYSTEM. THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE INCREASED DURING PAST 6
HRS AS WELL AS UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
BETWEEN 200 AND 850 HPA LEVELS IS LOW TO MODERATE (10-15 KNOTS)
AROUND SYSTEM CENTRE. HOWEVER, IT INCREASES TOWARDS THE COAST OF
SRI LANKA, BECOMING 20-30 KNOTS (MODERATE TO HIGH). WIND SHEAR
TENDENCY AROUND THE SYSTEM IS NEGATIVE OF THE ORDER OF 10-20 KNOTS.
CONSIDERING THE NWP MODEL GUIDANCE, MOST OF THE MODELS SUGGEST THE
INTENSIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM INTO A SEVERE CYCLONIC STORM BY NEXT
24 HRS. DYNAMICAL- STATISTICAL MODEL OF IMD ALSO SUGGESTS THE SYSTEM
TO INTENSIFY INTO A SEVERE CYCLONIC STORM. WITH RESPECT TO TRACK,
MOST OF THE MODELS SUGGEST-NORTHWESTWARD MOVEMENT DURING NEXT 24 HRS
AND THEN WEST-NORTHWESTWARDS MOVEMENT AND CROSS NORTH TAMIL NADU
AND SOUTH ANDHRA PRADESH COAST BETWEEN CUDDALORE (43329) AND
NELLORE (43245) BY MORNING OF 30TH DECEMBER 2011. THE CURRENT
FORECAST IS IN AGREEMENT WITH MOST OF THE NWP MODELS GUIDANCE.

Would Thane be the first storm to be the season's strongest AND to cross over into the next year/season?
Chances are quite high that the storm lasts until January '12. It already is the strongest NIO storm by wind speeds, but it needs to deepen 2 mbars to reach the pressure of BOB 02 (978mb).

Actually, not really. Landfall will kill it before the new year:

31-12-2011/0530 12.5/77.5 55-65 gusting to 75 Deep Depression

31-12-2011/1730 12.5/76.1 45-55 gusting to 65 Depression

If it regenerates in the Arabian Sea I don't think it really counts, it'll merely have lasted in two different years but it wouldn't continuously have been a named storm throughout.

Looking at the radar and satellite, I would estimate it to be about 80 kt right now (1-min).

Actually, not really. Landfall will kill it before the new year:

31-12-2011/0530 12.5/77.5 55-65 gusting to 75 Deep Depression

31-12-2011/1730 12.5/76.1 45-55 gusting to 65 Depression

If it regenerates in the Arabian Sea I don't think it really counts, it'll merely have lasted in two different years but it wouldn't continuously have been a named storm throughout.


That's right, but if the system itself can last until 01/01, it's still the same system, no matter if it's a depression or a storm.
But chances are now higher that it'll fall apart on the 31st and weaken into a LPA which of course is not counted towards the system's lifetime.
