The 1976 Atlantichurricaneseason was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation.
Hurricane Emmy caused 68 indirect deaths when a Venezuelan Air Force plane carrying a school choir crashed on a landing attempt at Lajes Air Force Base in the Azores during the storm.
On the 24th, it recurved to the northeastward, and strengthened to a hurricane on the 25th.
2005 Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season Forecast(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation, or ATC, is a density-driven circulation in the Atlantic Basin that undergoes cycles on decadal timescales.
The North Atlantic Oscillation, or NAO, is the fluctuation in 500 millibar heights in the northern Atlantic, primarily between western Europe, Iceland, and Greenland.
All four landfalls occurred from hurricanes that originated in the southwest Caribbean Sea in October, a region that is expected to be highly favorable this season due to the lack of an El Nino and a strong ATC.

EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hence, the forecast is based on both statistical and analog analyses of prior hurricaneseasons with atmospheric and oceanic conditions similar to what is currently observed and what we anticipate to be in place during the 2002 hurricaneseason.
Where the Atlantic thermohaline circulation is strong (as we infer it to have been during 1950-1969 and 1995-2001) we have global atmospheric and oceanic circulation trends which are measurably different from the global circulation modes attending a weak thermohaline circulation as occurred between 1970-1994 and between 1900-1925.
As shown in Table 2 Atlantichurricane activity is inversely related to the strength of the AO and is proportional to the strength of the thermohaline circulation.
Monthly Weather Summaries of the hurricaneseasons for the years 1881 - 2000 are available from the NHC Library.
This article describes the progress of a typical hurricaneseason in terms of the total number of tropical systems and hurricanes produced throughout the year in the Atlantic and East Pacific basins.
The Atlantic 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 1851 through 2004.

FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES (Part 1 of 2)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
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.
Thus an Atlantichurricane that is given a CI number of 4.5 (winds of 77 kt and pressure of 979 mb) could in reality be anywhere from winds of 60 to 90 kt and pressures of 989 to 969 mb.

Seasonalhurricane forecasts have been issued for 21 years by the tropical meteorology research group of Prof.
We expect this to be the eighth of the last 10 seasons that have had hurricane activity much above the last 55 year average and particularly the suppressed activity of the quarter-century period of 1970-1994.
The Florida landfall of major hurricanes Charley and Frances in the last three weeks should be thought of as a rare but natural occurrence and an expected statistical adjustment to the century long climatological average.

HurricaneSeason Predicted to Be Worse Than Average for Atlantic Seaboard and Gulf Coast
May 16, 2005 The Atlantic Seaboard and the Gulf Coast could be in for another bad hurricaneseason, one of the government's top forecasters said Monday.
Last year, there were 15 tropical storms, with nine of them hurricanes six of them major.
* As a footnote, 1933 is recorded as being the most active of any Atlantic basin season on record (reliable or otherwise) with 21 tropical storms and hurricanes.
+ 1886 is recorded as the most active hurricaneseason for the continental USA with 7 landfalling hurricanes.
It is calculated by squaring the maximum sustained surface wind in the system every six hours and summing it up for the season.

NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER DIRECTOR NAMED(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
As a major component of the Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service, Tropical Prediction Center-National Hurricane Center issues watches and warnings of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and eastern Pacific.
He joined the Hurricane Center as deputy director under Bob Sheets in 1988.
The new director of the National Hurricane Center earned Masters of Science degrees in meteorology and management from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1967 and 1973.

After a record-breaking hurricaneseason, blistering heat waves, lingering drought and a crippling Northeast blizzard, 2005 is ending as a warm year in the United States.
The 2005 Atlantichurricaneseason also set records with 26 named storms, of which 14 were hurricanes, exceeding the 1969 record of 12 hurricanes, and seven were major hurricanes.
The team was successful at removing much of the gear entangling the whale, but lost their ability to track the whale after the telemetry buoy that had been signaling the whale’s location broke free.

When Hurricane Katrina threatened New Orleans last month, nothing sat ready to provide aid in the aftermath.
The contrast between the two facilities is as sharp as that of the state of readiness before the two hurricanes.
Before Katrina hit New Orleans on Aug. 29, Northern Command, which provides support during a natural disaster when civilian resources are overwhelmed, wasn’t asked to step up until the next day.
Jerry D. Jarrell was recently selected as the sixth director of the National Weather Service's Tropical Prediction Center - National Hurricane Center in Miami.
A Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the First Tornado Forecast was held on 23-25 March 1998.
