Zyklon Hola is formed at Vanuatu (+4 cards)
Hurricane Hola occurred near Vanuatu this mornings and is a Class 1 tropicyclone. The Hola moves southwest at 8 nodes and intensifies above the ocean floor at a temperature of 28 to 30° C. It is also known as the "Hola". Fiji and Vanuatu Met Services forecast that the hurricane will be classified as Class 2 in the near future.
In the next few coming weeks, Vanuatu and New Caledonia will be most vulnerable to Cyclone Hola.
The Vanuatu height dataset for the use of the forecast
recent LiDAR dates in Vila Bay, Vanuatu. Its main objective was to assess the flood risk for Vanuatu's business district and urban municipalities, focusing on the collection of high-resolution altitude information for key areas in the main city of Port Vila and Luganville.
GEOSCHUISCE Australia Site Executive David Simon said this includes the gathering of high-resolution topographical and biochemical information using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies for the Efate, Malekula and Espiritu Santo Islands area. "Highresolution height information improves the precision of high-water modeling and the capacity to better understanding present and potential risks to infrastructures and communities," Simon commented.
The LiDAR and image files were acquired via a range of airborne measurements in 2012 and 2013, recording millions of single 3-D dots. LiDAR measurement information was further elaborated to deduce two different height models: a digital height model (DEM) exclusively derived from topographical and bathymetric information; and a digital surface model (DSM) containing heights of above-ground characteristics such as topographical and bathymetric information.
