		Storms reaching tropical storm strength (winds exceeding 17 metres per second, 38 mph, or 62 km/h) are given names, to assist in recording insurance claims, to assist in warning people of the coming storm, and to further indicate that these are important storms that should not be ignored.
		The first storm of the year was assigned a name beginning with the letter "A", the second with the letter "B", etc. However, since tropical storms and hurricanes are primarily destructive, some considered this practice (A man with a chauvinistic belief in the inferiority of women) sexist.

	CBC News Indepth: Forces of Nature - Tropical Storms
		Severe storms spawned in the tropics are known by different names in different parts of the world: hurricanes in the Atlantic and east Pacific; typhoons in the northwest Pacific and cyclones in the southwest Pacific and Indian Ocean.
		This lowers the atmospheric pressure under the eye of the storm; as a result, the eye tries to pull at the ocean itself, creating a bulge of water as much as six metres high that moves together with the storm.
		As the storm progresses, the output from the most successful models is given greater "weight.") And progress is being made: The average tracking error has been halved since the 1970s when a typical three-day forecast would be off by 650 to 720 km; that error is now between 325 and 400 km.

	Storms - Oceanography - POEMS-Practical Ocean Energy Management Systems, Inc.
		A tropical cyclone is born from a low pressure area by the interplay of rising and falling winds, warming and cooling air and the transfer of energy by water molecules.
		The size of this storm surge and its waves, depends largely on how the storm's centre has been moving, for the rotating winds around it are capable of cancelling each other's waves.
		Note that storm sized winds (but not of hurricane force) blowing for a long time from one direction, are capable of developing sea states equally destructive as hurricanes.

		A major field program involving atmospheric researchers from 11 countries is straddling the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Ireland to study fierce winter storms that move eastward across the ocean and pound western Europe.
		Where data are limited-such as over the oceans-it may be worthwhile to focus data collection on a small area where storms are developing, rather than on a bigger area where relatively little is happening.

		When a large piece of ice shelf calves into the ocean it does not drop and splash down into the water, because the front of the ice shelf was already floating on water.
		In fact, the ocean's tides lift and drop the ice shelf every day; this is called hinging, and the place where the ice shelf connects to the "shoreline" bedrock is called the hinge-line, since the outer shelf swings up and down from it.
		Besides hinging and creeping, calving may also be caused by storms, ocean swells, and collisions with large icebergs.

	Encyclopedia of Surfing Excerpt \| Books \| Matt Warshaw
		Although surf at Maalaea often breaks with machine-like perfect form, less than one-in-four rides here are completed; for most surfers, the object at Maalaea is to simply take a trim position inside the tube and try to keep pace with the falling curl for as long as possible.
		Prevailing winds at Maalaea are straight offshore and usually blow at 20-30 knots; the bottom is coral-lined and fairly shallow.
		The surf here is generally between two and four feet; on the rare days when it hits eight foot or bigger, waves can sometimes be ridden from Third Point to the pier.
