Meteorological characteristics of typhoon 9807(Vicki) observed at fire stations

Abstract

Meteorological elements on the Typhoon 9807(Vicki) were investigated with the weather observation network at fire stations in the Kinki and Chubu districts. There were 4 areas in Wakayama, Nara and Mie, where the daily maximum instantaneous wind velocities exceeded 50m/sec. At Tanabe City in Wakayama the daily maximum instantaneous wind velocity was measured almost simultaneously with the minimum atmospheric pressure. In the other areas the max instantaneous wind velocity was measured almost one-hour after the daily minimum atmospheric pressure occurred. The other meteorological elements on the ground in Typhoon 9807, temperature, humidity, precipitation and pressure, were measured in detail with the weather observation network at fire stations.
