	Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes during a given hurricane season.
		For the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season the outlook calls for an extremely active season, with the seasonal ACE index forecasted to range from 180%-270% of the median.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2004 have averaged 13.6 tropical storms, 7.8 hurricanes, 3.8 major hurricanes, and with an average ACE index of 159% of the median.

	HURRICANES IN HAWAII
		The winds in a hurricane are a maximum near the surface and decrease with height.
		Hurricanes impact Hawaii through the combined effects of strong winds, possible tornadoes, torrential rains, and elevated tides and large waves on coastal and inland areas.
		The climatology of hurricane tracks over the central Pacific shows a mean track passing to the south of the Hawaiian Islands (Figure 6) and a maximum hurricane occurrence during the late summer when the ocean surface is warmest (Figure 7).

	NOAA News Online (Story 1146)
		At a news conference aimed at increasing public awareness of the upcoming hurricane season, officials from NOAA and FEMA described the anticipated level of hurricane activity this season, interagency coordination efforts to help mitigate the consequences of a land falling hurricane and the importance of taking steps to prepare families and communities in advance.
		Mahoney says residents along the USA Atlantic and Gulf coasts should be prepared during hurricane season.
		The Atlantic Hurricane Outlook is a consolidated team effort consisting of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, Hurricane Research Division, and National Hurricane Center.

	FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES (Part 1 of 2)
		Hurricane Andrew is a good example of a very intense tropical cyclone (922 mb central pressure and 64 m/s (125 kt) sustained winds at landfall in Florida) that was also relatively small (15 m/s winds extended out only about 150 km from the center).
		A concentric eyewall cycle occurred in Hurricane Andrew (1992) before landfall near Miami: a strong intensity was reached, an outer eyewall formed, this contracted in concert with a pronounced weakening of the storm, and as the outer eyewall completely replaced the original one the hurricane reintensified.
		Typhoon Tip in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on 12 October 1979 was measured to have a central pressure of 870 mb and estimated surface sustained winds of 85 m/s (165 kt) (Dunnavan and Diercks 1980).

	FEMA: Are You Ready? An In-depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness
		A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone, the generic term for a low pressure system that generally forms in the tropics.
		A typical cyclone is accompanied by thunderstorms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise circulation of winds near the earth’s surface.
		Hurricanes are classified into five categories based on their wind speed, central pressure, and damage potential (see chart).

	NOAA's Hurricane Story Ideas
		When does a hurricane name get "retired?" Hurricanes that have a severe impact on lives or the economy are remembered by generations after the devastation they caused, and some go into weather history.
		As we head into hurricane season, climate (average weather over a long time period, usually 30 years) specialists are still trying to determine the effect that these "children" will have on the number and severity of tropical storms.
		The Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) issues tropical cyclone warnings, watches, advisories, discussions and statements for all tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific from 140 degrees West Longitude to the International Dateline.

		This article describes the progress of a typical hurricane season in terms of the total number of tropical systems and hurricanes produced throughout the year in the Atlantic and East Pacific basins.
		The East Pacific Tracks File is an ASCII (text) file containing the 6-hourly (0000, 0600, 1200, 1800 UTC) center locations (latitude and longitude in tenths of degrees) and intensities (maximum 1-minute surface wind speeds in knots and minimum central pressures in millibars) for all Tropical Storms and Hurricanes from 1949 through 2003.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters from their long-term climatology.
		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.
		Regardless of how active the 2005 hurricane season is, a finite probability always exists that one or more hurricanes may strike along the US coastline or the Caribbean Basin and do much damage.

	NOAA Raises The 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook - Bulk Of This Season’s Storms Still To Come
		A very active Atlantic hurricane season is underway, and with more storms projected, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration today increased the number of storms in its 2005 hurricane season outlook.
		The most active hurricane season was in 1933 with 21 storms, followed by 1995 with 19 storms.
		The most hurricanes in a season was 12 in 1969, and the highest number of major hurricanes was eight in 1950.

	Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
		Given the anticipated conditions over the tropical North Atlantic, the 2001 hurricane season will likely have less overall activity than five of the last six seasons (the exception being the inactive 1997 season), but more activity than most of the relatively quiet 1970-1994 period.
		On average, seasons with normal levels of activity have 1-2 landfalling hurricanes in the U.S., and 1 landfalling hurricane in the region around the Caribbean Sea.
		Thus, while it is reasonable to expect 8-11 tropical storms, 5-7 hurricanes and 2-3 major hurricanes this season, the season can certainly feature normal levels of activity without all three of these criteria being met.

	THE DEADLIEST, COSTLIEST, AND MOST INTENSE UNITED STATES HURRICANES FROM 1900 TO 2000
		An early hurricane can be defined as occurring in the three months prior to the start of the season, and a late hurricane can be defined as occurring in the three months after the season.
		With these criteria the earliest observed hurricane in the Atlantic was on March 7, 1908, while the latest observed hurricane was on December 31, 1954, the second "Alice" of that year which persisted as a hurricane until January 5, 1955.
		In terms of central pressure (and probably winds), the strongest observed hurricane in the Atlantic basin was Gilbert in 1988 with a pressure of 888 millibars in the northwest Caribbean.

		The odds of a hurricane ocurring in April (or even June) are pretty low, considering that the peak of activity is around August and September.
		The "hurricane" you saw was, in fact, not a hurricane at all, it was a typhoon.
		Typhoon Seasons are different in the Pacific than Hurricane Seasons in the Atlantic or even the eastern Pacific.

	Answers to La Niña Frequently asked questions
		In contrast, the Pacific Northwest is more likely to be wetter than normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of a well-established La Niña.
		Greater than normal precipitation is predicted for the Pacific Northwest throughout the fall and into the winter months and for the Ohio and Tennessee River Valley in the winter.
		Observations of conditions in the tropical Pacific are essential for the prediction of short term (a few months to one year) climate variations.

	CARIBWX The Caribbean Weather Site
		For the second year in a row, no hurricanes were experienced in the E Caribbean and only 3 named storms have passed through the region in the past 2 years.
		According to Gray, the period from 1995-2002 comprised the most active hurricane seasons on record and he believes that we are in a multi-decade period of increased tropical cyclone activity, such as that occurred in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
		Even though the 2001 Hurricane Season ended on November 30, at the time of writing the 15th named storm of the season, Olga, is one of the few storms that have survived into December.
