100 characters are absurdly long for a thread title. I hate it when a user makes a thread title so long that it cannot be displayed in full on mobile.

Tropical Cyclone Freddy (13U/11S)

iu_897163_779242.webp

Tropical Cyclone Freddy originated from a tropical disturbance over Timor Sea, off the northwest coast of Australia, at the end of January. The disturbance was embedded within a monsoon trough and tracked westward across the Southern Indian Ocean over the next week or so and became a tropical cyclone on the 6th of February. Thereafter, environmental conditions were generally neutral to favorable and the tropical cyclone intensified significantly, partially due to favorable outflow aloft.


At 12 UTC today, the intensity of Freddy is estimated at 130 knots, based on Dvorak current intensity at T7.0/140kt, ADT and AiDT values near 125 knots and SATCON estimates at slightly over 120 knots. The cloud pattern is slightly asymmetrical and this is due to the effect of moderate 20-25 knots easterly VWS. The infrared eye has warmed over the past few hours, indicative of a weakening trend. SST in the area is near climatology at 27-28C. Upper level outflow remains robust, except in the eastern side of the system. Vapor imagery shows that Freddy is surrounded by drier mid-level air. Owing to its strong core, the circulation of Freddy appears well insulated from the effects of dry air entrainment. Latest microwave products do not indicate the presence of double eyewall structure.


Freddy remains steered by the subtropical ridge to the south. The subtropical ridge is forecast to strengthen and build toward the west, steering the tropical cyclone in a general westward direction over the next few days. While short-tern weakening is expected due to shear, the system could re-intensify slightly as it moves over warmer waters (28-29C) in Southwest Indian Ocean.

The ECMWF ensembles show high probability of direct impacts to at least part of Madagascar's coast, although this is expected to occur beyond 5 days. At this time, only a minority of GEFS members show re-curvature to the south before passing through the island. Given the strength of the steering ridge, a general westward track toward land is likely beyond Day 5, and Freddy could make landfall as an intense system.


Interestingly, the system has already accumulated 28 ACE. At this rate, it can easily surpass 50 ACE within the next 5 days, with a potential to exceed 65 ACE during its long lifetime.


Intensity forecast:

15/12z: 130 kt (Category 4)

16/12z: 125 kt

17/12z: 120 kt

18/12z: 130 kt

19/12z: 130 kt

20/12z: 130 kt

Run walk method is great for beginners if you want to build up distance running endurance.


It also puts less pressure on your body and mind.


For strength training, once you have mastered the basics of each movement, incorporating cheat reps at the last couple of reps every once in a while are ok.

I think about a more immediate thing: death of the sun but I am not too worried about it because I will long be in heaven by that time.

Classical theories of black holes are well understood. For instance read this notes for a summary.


What is remarkable is that three parameters are enough to give you a unique solution to black holes (no hair theorem)


For the application of string theory to black holes, you can refer to this paper.

Of course not. I also like MCR. They're way more proggy than their detractors give them credit for.

I got 3 days for that, and afterwards 30 days for an obvious joke. You try to make sense of that.


It was reasonable. You should be getting at least one month. The second ban made up for it.

Response to: BBS Posts deleted Posted February 9th, 2023 in General

A few users deleting their accounts can result in mass forum posts/topics deletion. If you happen to have posted in one of their topics, your posts will be removed together with the topics.


So you need to be more active to ensure your post count stays above 1,000.

funny how my period right now is geometry, close enough


Geometry is just calculus and linear algebra

When you study university level math, then yeah, more than 50% of the subjects are nothing but 'calculus' and 'linear algebra'.


Algebraic geometry is not really linear algebra though, but it uses category theory which in one sense could fit into the notion of 'linear algebra'.

Response to: The countries who are poor: Posted February 9th, 2023 in General

Here is a real economic question that is worth thinking.

Justify the following statements or provide counter-argument:

  • "Printing money" and increasing spending on import could lead to better economy in the short-term.
  • In the long run, it will lead to exchange rate depreciation and an increase in import good prices so the country will not be better off.
