FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES (Part 1 of 2) 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. 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).

When and Where Do Hurricanes Occur Hurricane Camille (1969), which made landfall in Mississippi, dumped 30 inches of rain in 6 hours in the Blue Ridge Mountains, triggering flash floods and mudslides that killed 114 people in Virginia and 2 in West Virginia. However, one major hurricane making landfall during this period was Andrew (1992), which caused records amount of damage in Miami.

In contrast, only 5 major hurricane made landfall on the East Coast between 1965 to 1995 (with a period between 1965 and 1983 where no East Coast landfall occurred!).

FORECAST OF ATLANTIC HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR Seasonal hurricane forecasts have been issued for 21 years by the tropical meteorology research group of Prof. 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. Florida is located at a latitude and longitude where the long term records of the last century-and-a-half show that major hurricane in Florida (excluding the Panhandle) account for about a third all U.S. landfalling major hurricanes of which the U.S. had 73 in the last century. hurricane.atmos.colostate.edu /Forecasts/2004/sep2004   (359 words)

EO Newsroom: New Images - “Hurricane” Catarina hits Brazil The crew of the International Space Station was notified of the cyclone and acquired excellent photographss of the storm just as it made landfall on the southern Brazilian state of Catarina (the storm has been unofficially dubbed “Hurricane Catarina”). Also, Penn State University meteorology instructor Lee Grenci prepared a detailed case study of Catarina. The system developed an eye and apparently reached hurricane strength on Friday, March 26, before eventually making landfall late on Saturday, March 27, 2004. earthobservatory.nasa.gov /Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=16505   (279 words)

FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES Tropical Cyclone Tracy had gale force winds that only extended 50 km radius when it struck Darwin, Australia, on 24 December, 1974 (Bureau of Meteorology 1977). Note also that individual storm surges are dependent upon the coastal topography, angle of incidence of landfall, speed of tropical cyclone motion as well as the wind strength. Tropical cyclones are named to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. www.taolodge.com /stormfaq.html   (279 words)

Hurricanes: Nature's Greatest Storms Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf in the landfall region. NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory - Its mission is to conduct a basic and applied research program in oceanography, tropical meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry, and acoustics. A hurricane is a severe tropical storm that forms in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E. hurricanes.noaa.gov   (1203 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Tropical cyclone In meteorology, a tropical cyclone (or tropical storm, typhoon, or hurricane, depending on strength and location) is a type of low-pressure system which generally forms in the tropics. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which made landfall at Galveston, Texas as an estimated Category 4 storm, killed 6,000 to 12,000 people, and remains the deadliest natural disaster in the history of the United States. Hurricane Mitch during the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season caused severe flooding and mudslides in Honduras, killing about 18,000 people and changing the landscape enough that entirely new maps of the nation were needed. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Tropical_cyclone   (378 words)

My Point / David M. Shribman: Howard Dean, straight up The political establishment is having a grand time plotting the trajectory of Dean's progress, as if he were a tropical storm bearing down on Bermuda, and the current meteorology suggests that, now that Hurricane Dean has made landfall, he is veering right. Dean was the first to figure this out and remains the most artful in carrying it out. Dean benefits subliminally, perhaps, from the doctor bit, and he may get a bounce from Vermont's reputation as a flinty, plain-spoken mountainous redoubt on the frosty frontier hard by Quebec. www.post-gazette.com /forum/col/20030910edshribman0910p1.asp   (378 words)

NOAA Hurricane Hunter Remote Sensing Device Gets High Marks for Measuring Hurricane Sea Surface Wind NOAA’s Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology is in the process of funding an additional newly redesigned SFMR to be located under the wing of one NOAA WP-3D. It is the surface winds that impact coastal areas when hurricanes make landfall and one of the most important pieces of information gathered for hurricane forecasters and the emergency response community. Uhlhorn and Black are research meteorologists working with the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)in Miami, Fla. In addition to studying hurricanes and tropical storms, the scientists are among a cadre of researchers who fly into storms gathering data that are relayed to NOAA’s National Hurricane Center that issues warnings. www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov /releases2003/feb03/noaa03019.html   (697 words)

EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY Seasonal hurricane forecasts have been issued for 21 years by the tropical meteorology research group of Prof. However, between 1900-1965 there were 29 major landfall events along this same coastline with a mean incidence of 0.44 per year. Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2004 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of seven of the last nine years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003). hurricane.atmos.colostate.edu /Forecasts/2004/june2004   (4751 words)

TPC ATLANTIC FLOYD 1999 PRELIMINARY REPORT There was a 10 meter anemometer measurement of sustained winds of 83 knots at 0710 UTC with gusts to 106 knots at 0716 UTC taken by University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Josh Wurman near Topsail Beach North Carolina. Floyd was losing its eyewall structure as it made landfall. As Floyd was nearing hurricane status, a mid-tropospheric trough in the vicinity of 60-65W longitude caused a slowing of the forward speed, and then a turn toward the northwest. www.nhc.noaa.gov /1999floyd.html   (3431 words)

Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In meteorology, a tropical cyclone (also referred to as a tropical depression, tropical storm, typhoon, or hurricane depending on strength and geographical context) is a type of low pressure system which generally forms in the tropics. However, in December 2001, Typhoon Vamei formed in the Southern South China Sea and made landfall in Malaysia. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hurricanes   (8764 words)
