Fig. 8 Geomagnetic storm recorded at low latitude, Okinawa (OKI) and equator, Guam (GAM) and Yap, Micronesia (YAP) in the western Pacific region.
Using the storm records along the entire coast of Japan, we set a parameter, assuming a large size and an extremely large size of storm waves, and the sea-level rise for boundary conditions (Table 1).
Of note is the initiation of numerous slips throughout Whangapoua Forest during the largest storm recorded over the past 21 years (31 May 2000) when discharge measured at the Opitonui site reached 218 cumecsy.
For with each new killer storm, record-breaking drought, raging wildfire and massive tsunami, it becomes increasingly clear that no amount of evidence will convince those with a vested interest in the status quo to admit the obvious and change course.
Several ships in the path of the storm recorded gale-force winds, depicting its strengthening.
On September 21, another flight into the storm recorded a minimum pressure of 974 mbar, the lowest in relation to Carol.
At this time, a ship in the vicinity of the storm recorded a pressure of 1012 mbar (hPa).
Buoys nearby the storm recorded seas in excess of 36 feet and hurricane-force winds as it neared landfall.
The season established several tropical storm records for this basin and was marked by several strong hurricanes.
