Extractions: WEB SERVICES: Hurricane Isaac, left and Hurricane Joyce MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) Tropical Storm Joyce strengthened to a hurricane Wednesday, one of two hurricanes that threatened shipping in the open Atlantic but posed no immediate danger to land, forecasters said. Joyce, the sixth hurricane of the Atlantic season, charged toward the islands of the southeastern Caribbean while Isaac, the fifth, regained some strength on a course that could take it near Bermuda.
Extractions: By By Michael Schirber Climate change could make future hurricanes stronger, but whether the effect is measurable is still a matter of debate. It is also unknown whether it will change the total number of storms. Kevin Trenberth from the National Center for Atmospheric Research claims that warmer oceans and increased moisture could intensify the showers and thunderstorms that fuel hurricanes "Trends in human-influenced environmental changes are now evident in hurricane regions," Trenberth said. "These changes are expected to affect hurricane intensity and rainfall, but the effect on hurricane numbers remains unclear. The key scientific question is how hurricanes are changing." Sea-surface temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic - the breeding ground for most U.S. hurricanes - have been the warmest on record over the last decade. Across the globe, the amount of water vapor over the oceans has increased by about 2 percent since 1988.

Extractions: By By Joseph B. Verrengia Is global warming making hurricanes more ferocious? New research suggests the answer is yes. Scientists call the findings both surprising and "alarming" because they suggest global warming is influencing storms now - rather than in the distant future. However, the research doesn't suggest global warming is generating more hurricanes and typhoons. The analysis by climatologist Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows for the first time that major storms spinning in both the Atlantic and the Pacific since the 1970s have increased in duration and intensity by about 50 percent. These trends are closely linked to increases in the average temperatures of the ocean surface and also correspond to increases in global average atmospheric temperatures during the same period.

What Causes Hurricanes? A description of the roles of water vapor, sea surface temperature, rainfall, and wind shear in the formation of hurricanes. http://www.weatherquestions.com/What_causes_hurricanes.htm
Extractions: New! 2005 Hurricane Season Hurricanes are intense low pressure areas that form over warm ocean waters in the summer and early fall. Their source of energy is water vapor which is evaporated from the ocean surface. Water vapor is the "fuel" for the hurricanes because it releases the "latent heat of condensation" when it condenses to form clouds and rain, warming the surrounding air. (This heat energy was absorbed by the water vapor when it was evaporated from the warm ocean surface, cooling the ocean in the process.) Usually, the heat released in this way in tropical thunderstorms is carried away by wind shear , which blows the top off the thunderstorms. But when there is little wind shear, this heat can build up, causing low pressure to form. The low pressure causes wind to begin to spiral inward toward the center of the low. These winds help to evaporate even more water vapor from the ocean, spiraling inward toward the center, feeding more showers and thunderstorms, and warming the upper atmosphere still more. The showers and thunderstorms where all of this energy is released are usually organized into bands (sometimes called "rainbands" or "feeder bands"), as well as into an "eyewall" encircling the center of the storm. The eyewall is where the strongest winds occur, which encircle the warmest air, in the eye of the hurricane. This warmth in the eye is produced by sinking air, which sinks in response to rising air in the thunderstorms. The winds diminish rapidly moving from the eyewall to the inside of the relatively cloud-free eye, where calm winds can exist.
Extractions: A hurricane is a large rotating storm centred around an area of very low pressure with strong winds blowing at an average speed in excess of 74 miles per hour. The whole storm system may be up to 10 miles high and on average 500 miles wide. It moves forward like an immense spinning top, at speeds up to 20 mph How do hurricanes form?
Extractions: WEB SERVICES: MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) Two hurricanes drove across the Atlantic on Friday, and a weather system in the northwest Caribbean Sea could become Tropical Storm Keith in the near future, forecasters said. Hurricane Isaac weakened slightly but still had maximum winds of 125 mph (201 km/h) as it roared through the north Atlantic. It was not expected to threaten any land.

Extractions: HGIC 3800 http://hgic.clemson.edu Food Safety in Hurricanes and Floods Advance preparation is a key to food safety during a hurricane and the floods that can accompany it. Those living in hurricane areas should keep adequate supplies on hand because power will likely be disrupted, putting food in danger. Food and water for four to five days Fire extinguisher and first aid kit Flooding often accompanies hurricanes. Persons living in areas subject to floods should be ready to raise refrigerators or freezers by putting cement blocks under their corners. Canned goods and other foods kept in a basement or low cabinets should be moved higher. Flood waters may carry silt, raw sewage, oil or chemical waste. If foods have been in contact with flood waters, follow the "Safe Handling" recommendations. If the National Weather Service announces a hurricane watch, expect hurricane conditions within 24 hours.
