   Extractions: Hurricane IQ Quiz How to Track a Hurricane Hurricane Classification Past Major Hurricanes ... Mary Ann and Hurricane Camille urricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power. Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around an "eye." Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge. Storm surges are very dangerous and a major reason why you MUST stay away from the ocean during a hurricane warning or hurricane.

   Extractions: Recommended by This is currently a multi-part FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions report) that is in its seventeenth incarnation (version 3.0). However, there may be some errors or discrepancies that have not yet been found. If you do see an item that needs correction, OR if you have any additional questions that you think should be added to this FAQ, please contact me directly. This file contains various definitions, answers for some specific questions, information about the various tropical cyclone basins, provides sites that you can access both real-time information about tropical cyclones, what is available on-line for historical storms, as well as good books to read and various references for tropical cyclones. Keep in mind that this FAQ is not considered a reviewed paper to reference. Its main purpose is to provide quick answers for (naturally) frequently asked questions as well as to be a pointer to various sources of information. Much of the on-line information is pulled from Ilana Stern's wonderful "Sources of Meteorological Data FAQ" and I acknowledge the time and effort she has put in in originally compiling this information. Also Gary Gray has put together a very comprehensive listing of tropical cyclone Web sites that I've included here with his permission.

   Research into the likely effects of global warming on worldwide hurricane activity in the 21st century.

   Extractions: Fig. 2. Top: a tropical storm as simulated in the global climate model. Shown are surface temperature (shading), pressure and winds. Bottom: the same storm case, but as simulated with the hurricane prediction model. Shown are surface winds and precipitation on the inner grid of the hurricane model. The vector spacing illustrates the resolution of the two models (250 km for the global model vs. 18 km for the hurricane model.) Fig. 3. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs, light contours and color shading, in degrees Celsius) and sea level pressure (dark contours, in millibars) from an idealized coupled hurricane model/ocean model experiment. The "cool wake" in SSTs produced by the hurricane is indicated by the lower SSTs to the east-southeast of the storm. The storm motion is toward the west-northwest. The strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Most hurricanes do not reach their maximum potential intensity before weakening over land or cooler ocean regions. However, those storms that do approach their upper-limit intensity are expected to be slightly stronger and have more rainfall in the warmer climate due to the higher sea surface temperatures. And more recent work with more comprehensive models incorporating hurricane-generated "cool SST wakes" continue to support these conclusions.

   Extractions: In 1997, the National Hockey League brought the Carolina Hurricanes and hockey to North Carolina. Upon the arrival of the team, the Carolina Hurricanes Booster Club was formed. The CHBC is the official NHL booster club of the Carolina Hurricanes. Our goal is to support the Carolina Hurricanes hockey club, organization, and promote hockey throughout the Carolinas. These goals are reached by volunteering and assisting the organization as needed, fund raising for non profit charities, helping local youth hockey programs with sponsorships and promoting the sport of hockey throughout the community. Quick Links: The CHBC meets on a monthly basis with many social activities throughout the season. Whether you are a long time hockey fan or brand new to the sport, being a CHBC member can be a fun and rewarding activity for the whole family.

    Extractions: Requires Macromedia Shockwave plug-in Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over the warm tropical oceans and have sustained winds in excess of 64 knots (74 miles/hour). These storms are capable of producing dangerous winds, torrential rains and flooding, all of which may result in tremendous property damage and loss of life in coastal populations. One memorable storm was Hurricane Andrew (pictured above), which was responsible for at least 50 deaths and more than $30 billion in property damage. The purpose of this module is to introduce hurricanes and their associated features, to show where hurricanes develop, and to explain the atmospheric conditions necessary for hurricane development. The Hurricane module has been organized into the following sections: The Hurricane module now contains new technology in the form of shockwave movies and VRML. For the VRML, you will need the CosmoPlayer plugin (available from karmanaut.com

The Center prepares and distributes hurricane watches and warnings for the general public, and also prepares and distributes marine and military advisories for other users. During the "off-season" NOAA's Hurricane Center provides training for U.S. emergency managers and representatives from many other countries that are affected by tropical cyclones. The Center also conducts applied research to evaluate and improve hurricane forecasting techniques, and is involved in public awareness programs. The Center is located on the campus of Florida International University in southwestern Dade county in Miami, Fla.

    Extractions: Hurricanes What Is A Hurricane? A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a relative calm center known as the "eye." The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane approaches, the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring torrential rains, high winds, and storm surges. A single hurricane can last for more than 2 weeks over open waters and can run a path across the entire length of the eastern seaboard. August and September are peak months during the hurricane season that lasts from June 1 through November 30. (More Information on Hurricane) What Should I Do?
