	2003 Pacific typhoon season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line.
		Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 2003 Pacific hurricane season.
		Long-lived Kujira was thirteen advisories short of the longest-lived Western Pacific tropical cyclone on record, Typhoon Rita of 1972, and three shy of Typhoon Opal (1967).

		The report highlights how last season’s hurricanes had long westward tracks that were not typical of the tracks of most major hurricanes throughout the past decade.
		The team’s forecast numbers were on target with the number of named storms and hurricanes that occurred, but fell short in predicting the large amount of intense hurricanes that formed and concentrated in and around Florida in August and September.

		There were five hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observe in November 2002 and what we anticipate for the summer/fall 2003 period.
		Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2003 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of six of the last eight years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001).

	Islands spared in hurricane season - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		Hawai'i escaped the 2003 hurricane season with barely a breath of a hurricane — the nearest passed more than 100 miles south of the Islands.
		At the start of the season, a dying El Nino weather pattern and incipient La Nina in the Pacific led to Weyman's prediction of possibly two to three tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific.
		The neutral pattern is predicted to continue, at least into the start of summer and the hurricane season in the central Pacific, June 1 to Nov. 30.

		As bad as Hurricane Katrina is, it may not be the last such devastating storm of what promises to be a ferocious hurricane season through much of autumn, meteorologists say.
		In their seasonal hurricane forecast issued earlier this year, William Gray and his colleagues at Colorado State University estimated the odds were one-third higher than normal of a major hurricane making landfall on the Gulf Coast from Pensacola, Fla., to Brownsville, Texas.
		Meteorologists say the kind of hurricanes that were common in the mid- 20th century appear to be reviving because of quasi-cyclical variations in the atmosphere or ocean, or both.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.

		Similar to the Atlantic hurricane season, one of the major factors in eastern Pacific hurricane development is the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate phenomenon (El Niño/ La Niña).

		The seesaw effect between the East Pacific and North Atlantic hurricane seasons occurs because the two dominant climate factors that control much of the activity in both regions often act to suppress activity in one region while enhancing it in the other.
		Like the Atlantic hurricane season, the El Nino/La Nina cycle is a dominant climate factor influencing the East Pacific hurricane season.
		While the thought of a hurricane is a sobering image to many people, there are some positive aspects in regards to the East Pacific hurricane season.

		Erika was the third of four storms since the opening of the official hurricane season on June 1st to generate a scoreable intensity rating on the Bastardi Scale on the United States coastline.
		The season's 7th named storm and 6th since June 1st was Grace, a minimal tropical storm that exhibited many of the characteristics found in western Gulf hybrid storms and embryonic western Pacific developments.

	NOAA Expects Below Average 2006 East Pacific Hurricane Season
		"At present, the leading climate pattern affecting the east Pacific hurricane season is a multi-decadal signal, which contributes to stronger easterly winds at jet stream level and hence higher easterly wind shear," said Muthuvel Chelliah, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center lead scientist on the east Pacific hurricane season outlook.
		However during any given season a storm or two may affect western Mexico, Central America and the southwestern United States, as was the case with Hurricane Ignacio in 2003 and Hurricane Adrian in 2005.
		Despite the forecast for a below-average season, coastal residents are encouraged to be prepared and stay informed because it only takes one hurricane strike to create significant impacts.

		While hurricane season spans June 1 to November 30, September and October are the more intense months.
		The more intense Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season is spawned by warmer-than-usual Atlantic waters and developing cold water in the eastern Pacific that inhibits the formation of hurricane-destroying crosswinds.
		The Pacific La Niña conditions (the opposite of El Niño) mean that divers visiting Cocos, the Galapagos, and other Pacific venues should have exceptional big fish action thanks to cooler water.
