		The season was remarkable for its early beginning and number of storms as well as the intensity of the hurricanes, including the most intense hurricane on record for the Atlantic.
		Strengthening to reach hurricane intensity on the 29th as it moved northward, Beta then turned to the west and west-southwest and became a category 3 storm on the 30th, the 7th major hurricane of the season.

	Global Warming and Hurricanes
		Hurricane intensity is a measure of the strength or maximum wind speed of a hurricane.
		Hurricane activity is the term used by the National Hurricane Center that encompasses both the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in a season.
		Although the average number of hurricanes between 1995 and 2005 is probably unprecedented, we have not seen a long-term increase in hurricane frequency during the 20th century overall.

	NASA - 2005: A Hurricane Season 'On Edge'
		While an active hurricane season was anticipated by meteorologists and experts at the National Hurricane Center, the destruction and sheer number of storms was simply overwhelming.
		Hurricane Katrina was the costliest hurricane to ever strike the U.S. with at least $80 billion in damage, and two others (Wilma and Rita) made the top 10.
		The Atlantic Basin is in the active phase of a multi-decadal cycle that began in 1995, in which conditions in the ocean and atmosphere, including abnormally warm sea-surface temperatures and low wind shear, provide the necessary ingredients for hurricane formation.

	Summary of the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		In summarizing the 2004 Atlantic Hurricane Season, I had mentioned that the 2004 season was a big wake up call to many living along the coast from Texas to Maine.
		The 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season was certainly a record breaker in not only the basic shear numbers of 28 named storms, 15 hurricanes, and 7 major hurricanes, but also in other areas as well.
		Hurricane Rita became the fourth strongest storm on record with 897 mb, which surpassed Hurricane Allen in 1980, which deepened to 899 mb.

	Definition Of A Hurricane
		When a hurricane watch is issued, the best response is to protect your property by boarding up windows, bringing in outside items, and being prepared to evacuate the areas as soon as officials so advise.
		The deadliest hurricane in U.S. history was at Galveston Island, Texas storm of 1900, estimated to be a Category 4 storm.
		Hurricane winds in the Northern Hemisphere circulate in a counterclockwise motion around the hurricane's center or "eye," while hurricane winds in the Southern Hemisphere circulate clockwise.

		The predicted high levels of activity during the remainder of the season are consistent with NOAA's pre-season outlook issued last spring, and are comparable to those seen during August to October of the very active 2003 and 2004 seasons.
		The most active hurricane season was in 1933 with 21 storms, followed by 1995 with 19 storms.

	NASA - Hurricane
		Hurricanes form in waters near the equator, and then they move toward the poles.
		For a hurricane to form, there must be a warm layer of water at the top of the sea with a surface temperature greater than 80 degrees F (26.5 degrees C).
		A hurricane warning means that an area is in danger of being struck by a hurricane in 24 hours or less.

	USATODAY.com - Hurricane experts see fewer Atlantic storms this year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		Veteran hurricane forecaster William Gray and his team at Colorado State University said there will be eight named storms with winds of at least 39 mph.
		Tropical storms and hurricanes thrive when winds near the ocean's surface are moving in the same direction and at the same speed as winds aloft.
		Despite this year's diminished prediction, Gray's work forecasting seasonal hurricane activity over 19 seasons has locked in on an upswing in the number of Atlantic storms, a new era that his team says will be similar to the above-average seasons of the 1940s and 1950s.

		As the winter heating season winds to a close, the natural gas industry is now looking towards the summer cooling season and the Atlantic hurricane season for indicators on the direction of natural gas prices.
		The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season produced record numbers of named tropical storms (27), hurricanes (15), and Category-5 hurricanes (three), with Hurricane Emily likely to be upgraded as the fourth, according to Weather 2000.
		The team's 2006 Atlantic hurricane outlook calls for 17 named tropical storms (9.6 is average) of which nine would be Hurricanes (5.9 is average) of which five would be intense hurricanes (2.3 is average).

		Seven intense hurricanes were produced in the Pacific during the 1997 hurricane season while the Atlantic saw only one intense hurricane.
		Research suggests that ENSO quells Atlantic hurricane activity by influencing the upper troposphere (the lowest region of the Earth's atmosphere), according to William Gray of Colorado State University.
		For the 1999 hurricane season, Gray has predicted 14 tropical storms, nine hurricanes, and four intense hurricanes for the Atlantic basin.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2006
		Beginning with the 2002 December forecast for the 2003 season, we have relied on a new early December forecast scheme (Klotzbach and Gray 2004) which does not utilize West African rainfall and gives less weight to the QBO.
		There were five hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observe in October-November 2005 and what we project for August-September 2006.
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters above that specified by a long-term climatology.

		If you compare these forecasts with the long term (50 year) seasonal averages for tropical activity - roughly 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 intense hurricanes - you can see that we expect to have another busy season for hurricanes in our part of the world.
		The hurricane season for the Atlantic Ocean officially runs from June 1 to November 30.
