	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.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		We foresee an above-average hurricane season for the Atlantic basin in 2005.
		Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2005 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of eight of the last ten years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003, 2004).
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.

	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.

		At the center of the hurricane is the eye, a cloud-free area of sinking air and light winds that is usually from 10 to 65 kilometers in diameter.
		For example, in a hurricane that is moving due west, the most intense winds would be found on the northern side of the storm, since the hurricane’s winds are added to the storm’s forward motion.
		Hurricane wind speeds have historically been measured in increments of five knots, so any increase in intensity that has already occurred as a result of global warming would, in theory, be too small to detect yet.

	NOAA Issues Latest Forecast for the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season--8/21/03
		The reason for this is the presence of conditions synonymous with increased hurricane activity over several decades, which include the period occurring from 1995 to the present.
		Summarizing the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season as of the time of this report, we have had already five named storms, and two hurricanes including Hurricane Claudette, which was nearly a Category Two Hurricane prior to landfall.
		Although their numbers for named storms (14), hurricanes (8), and major hurricanes (3), were the same as earlier in the year, Gray's forecast lowered its net tropical activity rating from to 120 from 145.

	Dr. Gray's Initial Forecast for the 2001 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		He has issued accurate forecasts for the past two hurricane seasons including four major hurricanes last season, which was just short of the five actual major hurricanes that occurred in 1999.
		However, there are signals to the contrary in the Atlantic so far this year as sea surface temperatures, pressures at the ocean's surface, and the development of the Azores High all seem to point favorably toward an active season.
		The Atlantic Basin consists of the North Atlantic from the West Coast of Africa to the East Coast of the United States, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

		He and fellow researcher Philip Klotzbach said there is a 64% chance of one of the major hurricanes — with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater — coming ashore.
		Still, they said fewer hurricanes are likely to make landfall next year than in the devastating 2005 season, which had 28 named storms, including 15 hurricanes, four of which hit the U.S. The worst was Katrina, which leveled parts of the Gulf Coast.
		Gray said he believes the Atlantic basin is in an active hurricane cycle, despite the calm 2006 season.

		The Atlantic hurricane season generally runs from the beginning of June to the end of November and produces approximately 10 named storms, approximately six of which turn into hurricanes.
		boosted their forecasts for hurricanes this season, predicting that we could be in store for 7 to 9 hurricanes before late November when the Atlantic hurricane season ends.
		Another factor that may be contributing to the illusion that hurricanes are becoming fiercer and appearing more frequently is that hurricane detection and monitoring instruments improved dramatically during the last century.

	Warming Was Top Factor in 2005 Hurricanes, New Data Says (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, climate scientists began a heated debate: Was last year's superstrong hurricane season a result of global warming?
		They collected 130 years of temperature records for other tropical and mid-latitude waters, which they used to determine what portion of the changes in the Atlantic were due to global temperature shifts and which were because of regional factors, such the natural sea-temperature cycle.
		Sea-surface temperatures are widely believed to play a major role in hurricane formation and growth by fueling the storms with extra heat and moisture (interactive feature: how hurricanes form).

	Barometer Bob's Atlantic Hurricane Season 2006 Prediction from Hurricane Hollow Weather
		The Atlantic Hurricane Basin is one that has the potential to make an impact on a large area of the Coastal United States, Caribbean Islands, and Central America.
		This Atlantic Hurricane Season 2006, we will be looking for annual and seasonal indicators, based on averages of 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, 3 major hurricanes(100%) respectively, which is historically shown in data through the world wide web, and also known as being a percentage that is followed by many forecasters as well as researchers.
		With a weaker Atlantic Ridge, which occurs with a neutral or negative NAO, we can watch for the SST's in the Eastern Atlantic to be average, this year, as we have seen the years of active Tropical Cyclogenesis in the 1990's.
