Analisis Dampak Siklon Tropis Nangka, Parma dan Nida pada Distribusi Curah Hujan di Sulawesi Utara

Abstract

A meso scale atmospheric phenomena that affects the dynamics ofweather is tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclone formed in the equatorial latitude of 10◦ and 20◦. Most of tropical cyclones (67%) occured in northern hemi- sphere. The growth of tropical cyclone that occured in northern hemisphere is one factor that has significant impact on rainfall distribution in North Sulawesi according to its geographical location. So the study of tropi- cal cyclone occured in Northern Hemisphere is required to comprehend the weather condition. The cyclone’s growth stage that affects the rainfall distribution in North Sulawesi is vary depends on the cyclone’s charac- teristic and it’s atmospheric condition.The rainfall characteristic that occurs as a result of cyclone is also vary depends on the characteristic of each cyclone and the conditions of each location.
