Cyclone Sina (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina was the only named tropical cyclone to develop within the South Pacific basin during the 1990–91 season. The system was first noted as a shallow depression within the South Pacific Convergence Zone to the west of Wallis Island. Over the next three days the system moved towards the west-northwest, before it was named Sina during November 24, after it had developed into a tropical cyclone. Over the next couple of days the system intensified further and developed an eye feature as it erratically moved towards Fiji. Sina subsequently peaked in intensity during November 26, before the system passed through the Fijian Islands over the next two days as it started to gradually weaken. Sina subsequently passed just to the north of Tongatapu in Tonga during November 29, before it passed about 160 km (100 mi) to the south of Niue and near the Southern Cook Islands during the next day. The system subsequently rapidly weakened and became an extratropical cyclone during December 1, before they were absorbed by an advancing trough of low pressure near 50°S on December 4. The cyclone caused no deaths and over $18.5 million in damages, as it affected Fiji, Tonga, Niue and the Southern Cook Islands. Ahead of the system affecting Fiji, hundreds of people were evacuated from Fiji's outer island resorts to hotels on the mainland. High winds and heavy rain forced the closure of several local airports and the main Nadi International Airport. As Sina moved through the archipelago, the system destroyed or damaged houses and other building structures, while bringing down electric and telephone lines and uprooting trees. The system also washed away a railway bridge on Vanua Levu that was used to take sugar cane to Labasa's mills, leaving growers no choice but to go through the village of Korowiri. However, the workers refused to go into their fields unless they had police protection to go through the village, after Methodists from the local church attacked a group of growers for working on Sundays in defiance of Fiji's Sunday Observance Decree. Within Tonga only minor damage to weak structures, trees, banana plantations, electric and telephone lines was recorded. Within both Niue and the Southern Cook Islands only minor damage to crops and structures was reported. (en)
强烈热带气旋西纳（英語：Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina）是1990－1991年南太平洋气旋季期间在南太平洋发展形成的唯一一个获得命名的热带气旋。系统起初是瓦利斯岛以西内的弱低气压，接下来3天里，系统向西北偏西方向移动并在发展成热带气旋后获名“西纳”。此后几天系统进一步增强，并在蜿蜒朝斐济逼近的过程中发展出眼状特征。11月28日，西纳达到最高强度，然后在从斐济群岛上空经过期间逐渐减弱。11月29日，风暴从汤加的汤加塔布岛以北近海掠过，再于次日从纽埃以南约160公里海域和南库克群岛附近经过。此后气旋急剧减弱，于12月1日转变成温带气旋，最终于12月4日在南纬50°附近洋面被逐渐逼近的低压槽吸收。西纳没有造成人员丧生，但在斐济、汤加、纽埃和南库克群岛导致价值超过1850万美元的破坏。风暴来袭前，数百名度假游客从斐济外围岛屿上的度假村转移到大陆的酒店。楠迪国际机场和多个地方机场因狂风暴雨被迫关闭。西纳经过该群岛期间导致部分房屋及其他建筑物受损或被毁，还将树木连根拔起，供电和电话线路因此中断。瓦努阿岛上有一座铁路桥被冲毁，这座桥本是将甘蔗送往拉巴萨制糖厂的必经之路，种植者们别无选择，只能从某村庄借路通过。但是，当地卫理公会教会对这些种植者在周日工作不满，甚至一度以没有遵守星期日法令为由攻击种植者，因此许多工人拒绝在没有得到警察保护的情况下冒然进入村庄。汤加受到的影响较小，只有树木、香蕉种植园，以及强度较差的建筑物受到轻度破坏，此外输电和电话线路也受到影响。纽埃和南库克群岛只有部分农作物和建筑物受到轻微损伤。 (zh)
