Extractions: Tropical cyclones with winds that rotate at speeds of more than 103.6 kilometres per hour, hurricanes are devastatingly powerful storms that usually travel over a large area during their lifespan. As they make their way from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean to the east coast of North America and venture into the northern latitudes, they undergo significant behavioural changesa phenomenon known as extra-tropical transition. Meteorologists at the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, are on the leading edge of studies in extra-tropical transition, as well as in the danger that storm-induced waves and tidesknown as "storm surges"pose to coastal communities. They are using complex computer models and data from ships' logs, public archives and other historic records to diagnose these storms and better understand the physics that drives them. In January 1999, a scientist from China and a researcher from McGill University joined the team in Halifax to contribute their expertise to these studies for the next year. What they have learned, so far, is that hurricanes move more like regular winter storms in northern latitudes than they do down south, where they tend to be more erratic. They also travel up to five times fastera serious concern given the fact that a large number of small boats are on the water during the June-to-November hurricane season. While hurricane forecasting always requires extreme precision due to the concentrated impact of these storms, it is an even greater challenge in northern latitudes because effects vary from one side of a hurricane to the otherwith stronger winds to the east and torrential rain to the west. It has also been found that, although hurricanes weaken as they pass over cooler waters, on rare occasions they interact with extra-tropical storm fronts and re-intensify. Hurricane Hazel, which caused 81 deaths and $100 million damage in southern Ontario in 1954, was such a hybrid.

Tracking Tropical Storms tracking Tropical Storms on the Internet There are many other sources oftropical cyclone information around the world, including the National Hurricane http://www.unc.edu/depts/cmse/science/hurrtrack.html
Extractions: SiteIndex complete table of contents Tracking Tropical Storms on the Internet In North Carolina, public interest in tropical storms is always highest in late summer and early fall when hurricanes threaten the Carolina coast. When storms lurk offshore, the Internet is generally busy with requests for sites bringing current information. However, tropical storms don't just happen in August and September. They are active somewhere in the world every month of the year. Tracking them on the Internet can be an interesting class project at many grade levels, combining science with mathematics and geography. The word hurricane is from the extinct language of the Carib people who met the early Spanish explorers. Only in the Americas are tropical storms called hurricanes. In east Asia, the storms are often called typhoons , a word from the Malay language. Elsewhere, tropical storms are called

Extractions: Home What's new Access to information Public services ... Back An eye for an 'eye' Tracking and Forecasting Tropical Cyclones The intensity of a tropical cyclone is determined by the strength of the surface winds near the centre. However, unless there are land stations in the vicinity, or in the rare case of a ship reporting near by, this kind of information is not readily available. The termination of aircraft reconnaissance over the western North Pacific in August 1987 has cut off another important source of information. With the scarcity of direct data, the intensity of a tropical cyclone has to be inferred from analysis of cloud top temperatures as shown on enhanced infra-red satellite pictures. Over the vast expanse of the oceans, satellite analysis plays an important role in locating the centres of tropical cyclones. Satellite pictures are now received at hourly intervals and form a near real-time observational basis for tracking tropical cyclones. The appearance of a well-formed eye is a definite indicator of where the storm is. If an eye is absent, it is still possible to obtain a reasonable estimate of the centre location by tracing the spiral rainbands of the storm or by studying the relative motion of cloud features near its centre.

Betty Ann Bowser reports on the latest technologies meteorologists are using to keep tabs on these devastating storms and what new tools are being developed. Almost two weeks after Hurricane Isabel's powerful winds and storms, thousands of East Coast residents continue to assess the full impact of the storm , which raced across the mid-Atlantic and up the Eastern seaboard in late September. One of nature's most powerful known forces , hurricanes can pack winds of more than 150 miles per hour and have been feared for centuries. Which hurricanes caused the most damage? The greatest number of deaths? What states are hurricanes most likely to hit?
