关于台风的介绍英语
Influence of Typhoon
• Typhoon not only harms human beings,
• but also protects human beings. Typhoon has brought fresh water resources to human beings, greatly alleviating the global water shortage. A typhoon with a small diameter can bring 3 billion tons of precipitation when it lands. In addition, the typhoon also makes the cold and hot around the world keep relatively balanced. The equatorial region has a hot climate. If the typhoon did not dissipate the heat, the tropics would be hotter, the cold belt would be colder, and the temperate zone would disappear from the earth.
NATURAL DISASTERS
TYPHOON
What is typhoon?
•Typhoon is a kind of tropical cyclone.
• Tropical cyclones are low-pressure vortices over the tropical or subtropical ocean surface, and they are a strong and deep "tropical weather system". The tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the Northwest Pacific are divided into six grades according to the maximum average wind speed (wind speed) near the bottom center, and those with wind force of 12 or above are collectively referred to as typhoons.

台风垂直结构
基本信息
垂直方向上，台风可分为三层： 流 入 层 ， 从 地 面 到 大 约 3km 高 度，有显著的向中心辐合气流； 中 层 ， 从 3km 到 8km 高 度 ， 气 流主要沿切线环绕台风眼壁螺 旋 上 升 ； 流 出 层 ， 8km 以 上 到 台风顶部，气流向外辐散，四 散流出，空气外流的量与流入 层的流入量大体相当。

台风的主要危害
形成与影响
强风台风是一个巨大的能 量库，其风速都在17米/秒 以上，甚至在60米/秒以上。 据测，当风力达到12级时， 垂直于风向平面上每平方 米风压可达230公斤。
2021/3/10
暴雨台风是非常强的降雨系统。 一次台风登陆，降雨中心一天之 中可降下100－300毫米的大暴雨， 甚至可达500－800毫米。台风暴 雨造成的洪涝灾害，是最具危险 性的灾害。台风暴雨强度大，洪 水出现频率高，波及范围广，来 势凶猛，破坏性极大。
数量（个/年） 20-80
1000-2000
形成地区 热带地区海洋 除南极洲外的世界各地

基本信息
台风水平结构
水平方向上，一般由内而外可分为台风眼区、台风涡旋区和台风外圈三部分：在台风眼区， 风速极小或为静风，其直径一般为10-60km，通常为圆形；台风涡旋区是围绕台风眼分布 的一条最大风速带，宽度10-20km，台风中最强烈的大风、降水度出现在这个区域，是台 风破坏力最强区；台风外圈由内向外风速迅速减弱，直径一般为400-600km。
我国受台风影响范围
形成与影响
我国是世界上少数几个受台风影响最严重 的国家之一，平均每年有7个左右台风在 我国登陆，沿海地区从海南、广西、广东、 台湾、福建、浙江、上海、江苏、山东、 河北、天津一直到辽宁等省（自治区、直 辖市）以及我国中部地区，均可能受到台 风活动的影响。1990—2009年，我国大 陆平均每年台风造成的经济损失就达314 亿元，死亡人数高达443人。

台风的生命周期
01 成熟阶段 台风经过漫长的发展之路，变得强大，具有 了造成灾害的能力，如果这时登陆，就会造 成重大损失。
02 消亡阶段 台风消亡路径有两个，第一个是：台风登陆 陆地后，受到地面摩擦和能量供应不足的共 同影响，台风会迅速减弱消亡，消亡之后的 残留云系可以给某地带来长时间强降雨。第 二个是：台风登陆后，北上容易变性为温带 气旋，变性为温带气旋后，消亡较慢。

关于台风
台风的生命周期
孕育阶段
经过太阳一天的照射，海面上形成了强盛的积雨云， 这些积雨云里的热空气上升，周围较冷空气源源不绝 的补充进来，再次遇热上升，如此循环，使得上方的 空气热，下方空气冷，上方的热空气里的水汽蒸发扩 大了云带范围，云带的扩大使得这种运动更加剧烈。
孕育阶段
经过不断扩大的云团受到地转偏向力影响，逆时针旋 转起来（在南半球是顺时针），形成热带气旋，热带 气旋里旋转的空气产生的离心力把空气都往外甩，中 心的空气越来越稀薄，空气压力不断变小，形成了热 带低压—台风初始阶段。
台风的命名
人们对台风的命名始于20世纪初，据说， 首次给台风命名的是20世纪早期的一个 澳大利亚预报员，他把热带气旋取名为 他不喜欢的政治人物，借此，气象员就 可以公开地戏称它。

台风简介ppt
• 2011年第9号热带风暴“梅花”于7月28 日14时在西北太平洋洋面上生成。随后两 度升级为超强台风，并于8月6日15时减 弱成台风。 • “梅花”几度弄人，最终还是没有在中 国的任何一个地方登陆。 • 这个今年以来影响我国最严重、最广泛的 台风，在海上转了11天，把从福建到东北 的人们都忽悠了一圈之后，仅以热带风暴 的强度在朝鲜登陆。 • 山东转移36万余人，浙闽沪转移61万余 人，辽宁转移近13万人。这一个惊动我国 东部海岸地区的“玩笑”，随着中央气象 台对“梅花”解除编号悄然结束了。 • 据国家减灾委办公室统计，截至8月8日 16时，364.98万人受灾，135.3万人紧急 转移安置，房屋倒塌600余间，损坏4800 余间，直接经济损失31.28亿元
台风眼位于台 风中心区,呈圆 形或椭圆形， 直径约10km～70km不等， 平均约45km。台风眼区 的风速、气压均为最低， 天气表现为无风、少云和 干暖。随着台风的加强， 台风眼会逐渐缩on
台风的级别
• 超强台风 超强台风（SuperTY）：底层中心附近最大平均 风速大于51.0米/秒， 16级或以上。 • 强台风 强台风（STY）：底层中心附近最大平均风速 41.5-50.9米/秒，也即14-15级。 • 台风 台风（TY）：底层中心附近最大平均风速32.741.4米/秒，也即12-13级。 • 强热带风暴(STS)：底层中心附近最大平均风速 强热带风暴 24.5-32.6米/秒，也即风力10-11级。 • 热带风暴 热带风暴(TS)：底层中心附近最大平均风速 17.2-24.4米/秒，也即风力8-9级。 • 热带低压 热带低压(TD)：底层中心附近最大平均风速 10.8-17.1米/秒，也即风力为6-7级。
