It's one of, if not, the strongest storm ever recorded on the planet. Super Typhoon Haiyan slammed into the Philippines with winds touching 235 miles per hour. Trace looks at how this typhoon differs from hurricanes and what ingredients combined to create such a monster.
This explains the phenomena also known as a cyclone with six conditions required for formation: warm sea surface temperatures, atmospheric instability, high humidity in the lower to middle levels of the troposphere. One of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded called "Haiyan" devastated Southeast Asia, primarily the Philippines, with the loss of 7,500 people on November 3, 2013.
Several atmospheric ingredients must come together to favor the formation of a typhoon. Since a typhoon is just another term for hurricane, the same conditions apply for both. There are perhaps seven atmospheric conditions which, if met, could cause a typhoon to form.
Typhoons are the same weather phenomenon as hurricanes, and both called tropical cyclones. In the western Pacific they are called typhoons, while in the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans they are called hurricanes.
