	MercoPress - Falklands-Malvinas & South Atlantic News
		Brazilian meteorologists indicated that their Miami counterparts missed when they described “Catarina” as a hurricane, since this could be easily checked by the temperature in the eye of the storm and the gyration of winds.
		The cyclone baptized “Catarina” by local meteorologists, had been anticipated by the Hurricane Centre of Miami and described as “category 1” (the mildest out of a Safir scale of five).
		At least two people are reported dead, five disappeared and hundreds are homeless after a deadly cyclone with winds of up to 150 kilometres per hour swept the southern coast of Brazil just north of Uruguay mid night last Saturday.

	Tropical Cyclone Ingrid - North Queensland March 2005
		This Super cyclone was at its best around 0400Z on 3th with a warm eye of +20.4C and a White surrounding ring(-70C/-75C) while the CMG ring(-76C to â€“80C) was a little too short(0.45Â°) to be fully taken into account DT was at 7+.
		Tropical Cyclone Ingrid is continuing to bring torrential rain and wind to the north-east, Arnhem Land coast in the Northern Territory.
		Severe tropical cyclone Ingrid is expected to remain slow moving over the next 24 hours and should continue to intensify.

	Cyclone Mahina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Just before the eye of the cyclone passed overland to the north a tidal wave (caused by storm surge), variously reported as either 13 metres or 48 feet (14.6 metres) high, swept inland for about 5 kilometres, destroying anything that was left of the Bathurst Bay pearling fleet along with the settlement.
		Mahina was a Category 5 cyclone, the most powerful of the tropical cyclone severity categories.
		Cyclone Mahina struck Australia in March of 1899, killing over 400 people.

		In tropical cyclones, HF winds tend to be found close to the center on the periphery of the eye wall.
		Cyclones were considered to be HF intensity if winds of 64 kts or greater were observed at any point in their life cycle by QuikSCAT, a ship of opportunity or a buoy.
		HF cyclones were observed in all months from October through April in both oceans with the highest frequency in the North Pacific in December and in the North Atlantic in January.

		This is the intensity at which tropical cyclones tend to develop an eye, which is an area of relative calm surrounded by the strongest winds of the storm, in the eyewall.
		Intense cyclones show eye-wall replacement cycles, in which outer eye walls form to replace inner ones.
		Eyes are home to the coldest temperatures of the storm at the surface, and the warmest temperatures at the upper levels.

	Cyclone Hazards and Disasters
		It is important for people in cyclone areas to be aware that if the ‘eye’ of the cyclone passes over them, there will be a sudden lull in wind and clearing of skies, which may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two.
		Cyclone Mahina- This terrible storm in March 1899, which was accompanied by a storm surge of over 10 metres, caused by far the highest death toll of any cyclone before or since, claiming over 400 lives as it completely destroyed a pearling fleet at Bathurst Bay near Cape Melville, Queensland.
		Cyclones vary greatly in character but the one feature they all have in common is a virtually calm centre with clear sky.

	Darwin prepares for cyclone Ingrid - Breaking News - http://www.theage.com.au
		The NT Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC)'s Laura Chappel said forecasters were predicting the cyclone's impact would be felt in Darwin Sunday night or early on Monday.
		Police, the NT Cyclone Warning Centre and the NT Territory Counter Disaster Controller issued joint advice to residents to batten down and finalise "emergency kits", saying dangerously high winds could occur in the area within the next 24 hours.
		It is only the second time since Tracy - which killed 65 people in 1974- that Darwin has been under Cyclone Warning for a cyclone of a rating equal to, or higher than Tracy.

	Lander 4-1 paper
		The universally recognized signature of a tropical cyclone is the characteristic rapid decrease in surface pressure and increase in surface winds towards the center, with the heavy rain area and storm-lashed seas, and the relatively calm eye.
		The primary structural difference between these types of cyclones and conventional tropical cyclones is the larger displacement of the band of maximum surface winds from the center in the MD and MG, an incomplete ring of high winds in the MD and MG, and a much broader light-wind core in the MD and MG cyclones.
		They recommended that a subtropical cyclone is considered to have a transition to a tropical cyclone if the persistent deep convection becomes located near the cyclone center so as to cover the low-level center with dense (cold on IR imagery) overcast.

	Res Publica: Cyclone Season
		The cyclone lost momentum and became a very rainy tropical depression but I'll never forget the sense of fear for those few days as we kept a very close eye on the bureau of meteorology's bulletins.
		When Cyclone Mahina came through here in March 1899, accompanied by a massive storm surge, she wiped out a pearling fleet in nearby Bathurst Bay and claimed in excess of 300 lives.
		Cyclone Tracy has well and truly entered the Australian psyche, perhaps moreso because of the timing.

	ABC Asia Pacific - News - Cyclone Heta expected to hit Samoa tomorrow
		However, the weather bureau now believes the eye of the cyclone is likely to miss inhabited areas of the country.
		Cyclone Heta is now just over 300 kilometres to the north of Savaii, and is heading south southwest, between Samoa and the French territory of Wallis and Futuna.
		Weather forecasters on Samoa say they expect tropical cyclone Heta to affect the northern coasts of the island of Savaii as early as tomorrow morning.

		This suggests that the eye structure has little impact on the energetics to the eye wall and outer regions of a tropical cyclone.
		The influx of mean kinetic energy from the outer radii to the eye wall region and the export of potential energy both to the outer radii and to the eye region play important roles in the energetics of the eye wall region.
		It is supplied by import from the eye wall regions as well as by the conversion from total potential energy.

	Diving Cairns - Weather And Climate
		The circular eye of a tropical cyclone is an area characterised by light winds and often by clear skies.
		Tropical cyclones are low pressure systems that form in the tropics which, in the southern hemisphere, have well defined clockwise wind circulations with average surface winds exceeding gale force (34 knots).
		The greatest number of cyclones to be recorded in one season in the Queensland region was 12 (1962/63).

		However, the cyclone had already taken on a distinctive tropical appearance in satellite imagery with hints of an eye.
		The primary rationale for inclusion of subtropical cyclones in the Atlantic "best track" database is the belief that many such systems prior to the satellite era were treated as tropical cyclones, and to not include them now would introduce a bias in the historical data set.
		However, since the cyclone was maintained in the advisories as a tropical entity, the BT file likewise keeps Gabrielle as a tropical system until it became extratropical on 19 September.

	National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report
		In spite of the eye-like feature apparent in radar imagery, the cyclone's radius of maximum winds (~100 n mi) was more typical of a subtropical low.
		Frequent coordination calls occurred between HPC, TPC, and National Weather Service (NWS) forecast offices during this period of highly-unusual cyclone activity where the system was a tropical depression, subtropical depression/storm, and then an extratropical cyclone.
		Estimates during the extratropical stage are based on analyses from the NOAA Marine Prediction Center.

	Language overview
		This short list of programming languages is intended as the basis for a "teaser" lecture which will quickly review the history (and future?) of programming languages, with an eye toward those which are important, interesting or just plain different from Java.
		Assembly language is not so much a specific language as it is a language style: assemblers transliterate a low-level but human-readable notation into machine code which can be directly executed by a computer.
		Toontalk is intended primarily for teaching programming and programming concepts to children, but it includes some sophisticated features, e.g., recursion, dynamic process creation, communication channels and method preconditions.

	Hunting Hugo - Hurrican eye-wall penetration story! - Topic
		I found myself in the core of a 925 Hp 160 mph cyclone when I was six years old, I woke up one morning and there it was, and it just got stronger all morning as the cat 5 eye approached.
		I had no idea what was happening, I was "in the moment", as they say, and nothing can capture how explosive a 160 mph 2 minute long super-gust is and when it finally eases the wind has dropped back to a much more calm 110-120 mph...

	Hurricane Catarina/Aldonca - Rare South Atlantic Hurricane
		The main difference, she said, is that the eye of a hurricane is hot, while the centre of an extratropical cyclone, that forms above colder waters, is cold.
		This cyclone will be looked at and commented on for years to come...not to mention the great number of research papers that will be forth coming.
		The similar name "Aldoncia" means "sweet." Later the official agency in Brazil named the cyclone "Catarina" after the name of the Brazilian state towards which it was headed.

	Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eyewall: It is the area directly around the eye of the cyclone where the winds are the highest, the clouds reach furthest into the atmosphere and the precipitation is the heaviest.
		Tropical cyclones that cause massive destruction are fortunately rare, but when they happen, they can cause damage in the thousands of lives and the billions of dollars.
		Warm core: Tropical cyclones are characterized and driven by the release of large amounts of latent heat of condensation as moist air is carried upwards and its water vapor condenses.

	Rare South Atlantic Tropical Cyclone
		The South Atlantic is generally not thought of by meteorologists as a place where tropical cyclones can form.
		During its daytime overpass of the southeast coast of Brazil on March 26, 2004, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite captured this surprising sight: a tropical cyclone.
		According to Holland, wind speed observations from QuickSat showed maximum surface winds of about 50 knots, but the satellite wasn't positioned to observe the part of the eye where the highest wind speeds would be expected.
