Associated Press

The Associated Press (AP) is an American not-for-profit news agency headquartered in New York City.

Atmospheric convection

Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability (temperature difference layer) in the atmosphere.

See Cyclone Joan and Atmospheric convection

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure (after the barometer), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

See Cyclone Joan and Atmospheric pressure

Bar (unit)

The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI).

Beach

A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles.

Bureau of Meteorology

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM or BoM) is an executive agency of the Australian Government responsible for providing weather services to Australia and surrounding areas.

Tropical Cyclone Alessia was the first tropical cyclone to affect the Northern Territory of Australia in November since Cyclone Joan in 1975. Cyclone Joan and cyclone Alessia are tropical cyclones in Western Australia.

Cyclone Tracy

Severe Tropical Cyclone Tracy was a small tropical cyclone that devastated the city of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia, in December 1974. Cyclone Joan and cyclone Tracy are 1974–75 Australian region cyclone season and Retired Australian region cyclones.

Darwin, Northern Territory

Darwin (Larrakia) is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia.

Dvorak technique

The Dvorak technique (developed between 1969 and 1984 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to estimate tropical cyclone intensity (which includes tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane/typhoon/intense tropical cyclone intensities) based solely on visible and infrared satellite images.

See Cyclone Joan and Dvorak technique

Exchange rate

In finance, an exchange rate is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another currency.

Exmouth, Western Australia

Exmouth is a town on the tip of the North West Cape and on Exmouth Gulf in Western Australia, north of the state capital Perth and southwest of Darwin.

Flood

A flood is an overflow of water (or rarely other fluids) that submerges land that is usually dry.

See Cyclone Joan and Flood

Hamersley Range

The Hamersley Range is a mountainous region of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

See Cyclone Joan and Hamersley Range

Inch of mercury

Inch of mercury (inHg and ″Hg) is a non-SI unit of measurement for pressure.

See Cyclone Joan and Inch of mercury

Joint Typhoon Warning Center

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force command in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Kuri Bay

Kuri Bay is a remote coastal bay in the far north of Western Australia in the Kimberley region, about north of Broome.

List of the most intense tropical cyclones

Winds are often used to measure intensity as they commonly cause notable impacts over large areas, and most popular tropical cyclone scales are organized around sustained wind speeds.

See Cyclone Joan and List of the most intense tropical cyclones

List of Western Australia tropical cyclones

This is a list of cyclones that have significantly affected or made landfall over the coast of Western Australia. Cyclone Joan and list of Western Australia tropical cyclones are tropical cyclones in Western Australia.

See Cyclone Joan and List of Western Australia tropical cyclones

Low-pressure area

In meteorology, a low-pressure area, low area or low is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of surrounding locations.

See Cyclone Joan and Low-pressure area

Marandoo mine

The Marandoo mine is an iron ore mine located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres east of Tom Price.

See Cyclone Joan and Marandoo mine

Maximum sustained wind

The maximum sustained wind associated with a tropical cyclone is a common indicator of the intensity of the storm.

See Cyclone Joan and Maximum sustained wind

Mundabullangana, Western Australia

Mundabullangana is a settlement in Western Australia, located approximately 100 km south-west of Port Hedland.

See Cyclone Joan and Mundabullangana, Western Australia

Pascal (unit)

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI).

See Cyclone Joan and Pascal (unit)

Perth

Perth (Boorloo) is the capital city of Western Australia.

Pilbara

The Pilbara is a large, dry, thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia.

See Cyclone Joan and Pilbara

Railway track

A railway track (British English and UIC terminology) or railroad track (American English), also known as a train track or permanent way (often "perway" in Australia), is the structure on a railway or railroad consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade.

See Cyclone Joan and Railway track

Return period

A return period, also known as a recurrence interval or repeat interval, is an average time or an estimated average time between events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, or river discharge flows to occur.

See Cyclone Joan and Return period

Rowley Shoals

The Rowley Shoals is a group of three atoll-like coral reefs south of the Timor Sea, about west of Broome on the northwestern Australian coast, centred on, on the edge of one of the widest continental shelves in the world.

See Cyclone Joan and Rowley Shoals

Storm surge

A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge, or storm tide is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly associated with low-pressure weather systems, such as cyclones.

See Cyclone Joan and Storm surge

Stream

A stream is a continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.

See Cyclone Joan and Stream

The Age

The Age is a daily newspaper in Melbourne, Australia, that has been published since 1854.

See Cyclone Joan and The Age

Tide

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon (and to a much lesser extent, the Sun) and are also caused by the Earth and Moon orbiting one another.

See Cyclone Joan and Tide

Tropical cyclone

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain and squalls.

See Cyclone Joan and Tropical cyclone

Tropical cyclone warnings and watches

Tropical cyclone warnings and watches are alerts issued by national weather forecasting bodies to coastal areas threatened by the imminent approach of a tropical cyclone of tropical storm or hurricane intensity.

See Cyclone Joan and Tropical cyclone warnings and watches
