Our overall objective is to improve the capability to predict coastal change that results from severe tropical and extra-tropical storms. Such a capability will facilitate locating buildings and infrastructure away from coastal change hazards. Extreme storm investigations have three integrated components: Scanning Airborne Laser Altimetry (Lidar) With our partners in NASA and NOAA, USGS acquires laser altimetry surveys that are providing unprecedented data to investigate the magnitude and causes of coastal change.

A hurricane may sustain an eye for several days. But I suspect what you are asking is, how long you might be in the eye if you were sitting in one place as the hurricane passed over you. That is a function of three things: How fast is the hurricane moving?

Time.com People Fortune EW Scientists: Monster hurricanes could hit U.S. More powerful hurricanes could blast the East Coast By John Zarrella CNN Miami Bureau Chief MIAMI, Florida (CNN) Weather researchers think the evidence is now clear: A major shift in the climate has taken place that has brought about an increase in major hurricanes. The period of heightened activity could last for decades, and unleash a catastrophic storm on the United States, according to meteorologists. Since the climate shift began six years ago, when the Atlantic Ocean began looking like a hurricane freeway, the number of hurricanes that have formed in the Atlantic basin has doubled, said scientists at the U.S. Hurricane Research Division. The number of major hurricanes, which produce winds in excess of 110 miles an hour, has also increased during the period by 250 percent, they said. The increased activity will continue for the next ten to 40 years, which could mean trouble for the United States. RESOURCES On the Scene: John Zarrella on hurricane predictions CNN Weather - Hurricanes Danger Zones Timeline: Deadly hurricanes ... Classroom discussion guide "Most seasons we are going to get a hurricane hit the U.S. and probably more than half the time we will have a major hurricane hitting the U.S. as well," said hurricane meteorologist Chris Landsea.

86. Reason To Name Hurricanes For several hundred years many hurricanes in the West Indies were named after Ivan R. Tannehill describes in his book hurricanes the major tropical http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/reason.html

Reason to name hurricanes U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE , NOAA, National Weather Service Experience shows that the use of short, distintive given names in written as well as spoken communications is quicker and less subject to error than the older more cumbersome latitude-longitute identification methods. These advantages are specially important in exchanging detailed storm information between hundres widely scattered stations, coastal bases, and ships at sea. The use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusion when two or more tropical storms occur at the same time. For example, one hurricane can be moving slowly westward in the Gulf of Mexico , while at exactly the same time anothe hurricane can be moving rapidly Northward along the Atlantic coast. In the past, confusion and false rumors have arisen when storm advisories broadcast from radio statio were mistaken for warning concerning an entirely different storm located hundreds of miles away. History of Hurricane Names For several hundred years many hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the particular saint's day on which the hurricane occurred. Ivan R. Tannehill describes in his book "Hurricanes" the major tropical storms of recorded history and mentions many hurricanes named after saints. For example, there was "Hurricane Santa Ana" which struck Puerto Rico with exceptional violence on July 26, 1825, and "San Felipe" (the first) and "San Felipe" (the second) which hit Puerto Rico on September 13 in both 1876 and 1928.

91. Research On Hurricanes Over 90% of deaths in hurricanes occur from drowning. Development. hurricanes develop from easterly waves in long narrow regions of low pressure from trade http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink/hurricanes.html

Hurricanes by Rachel Rusch and Janira Vazquez, grade 8 Hurricanes are very destructive storms of nature. They consist of very powerful and deadly winds that measure from 200-300 miles in diameter. Near the center or the eye of the storm, winds measure up to 74 miles per hour or more. The heavy winds cause large waves which contribute to devastating floods. Over 90% of deaths in hurricanes occur from drowning. Development Hurricanes develop from easterly waves in long narrow regions of low pressure from trade winds. There are different levels of intensity before a storm develops into a hurricane. It develops from easterly waves to tropical depressions, to tropical storms, then into a hurricane. They form in the North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans over warm water in areas of low pressure; usually in the hurricane season of June to November. However, most storms occur in September. There are usually about 6-8 hurricanes each year. Effects Hurricanes in the United states affect mostly the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. They move around the eye in a counterclockwise direction, and usually move west to gain power. Most affect the east coast greatly. Several storms have caused devastating results here in Florida. Including Hurricane Andrew . It was one of the most intense storms in the 1900's history of the United states.

Hurricane Field Trip Trailhead Teacher's Resources Start Field Trip A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone that sustains winds of 74 miles per hour and greater. Hurricanes occur in the tropical regions of the world in 7 distinct basins, and are called Hurricanes in the Carribean, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and eastern Pacific, Typhoons in the western Pacific, and Cyclones in the Indian Ocean. A hurricane "watch" is issued when the threat of storm conditions is expected between 24-36 hours. A "warning" is issued when the storm is expected within 24 hours or less. Objectives Students will learn what a hurricane is, and how and where they are formed. Students will learn how to prepare for a hurricane and what to do in the event of a storm. Students will be taken to some of the best hurricane resources available on the Web where they can research and retrieve all kinds of storm data including historical storms, careers, tracking instruments, current weather maps, and much more.

home gallery data chasers ... Frequently asked questions Hurricane Floyd approaches the Bahamas and the United States on September 12, 1999. (Photo courtesy NOAA / National Climatic Data Center) TOPICS: how do hurricanes form? hurricane safety hurricane links How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are mind-boggling in their size and strength. Modern technology lets us see how big hurricanes are and track them through satellite imagery, while storm-penetrating aircraft measure their strength, in terms of wind speeds and atmospheric pressure. That technology gives us detailed warnings that people a century ago never had. Hurricanes usually form in the tropical zones north and south of the equator, where warm waters offer ample fuel for storm formation. That's where you see convection , where warm air rises and forms clusters of thunderstorms. The Coriolis effect, created by the Earth's spinning motion, may cause this cluster of storms to rotate (counter-clockwise above the equator, or clockwise below), but the system has to be a few hundred miles from the equator for the Coriolis force to exert an effect. If the system becomes organized and strong enough, with sustained winds of 39 miles per hour, it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 miles per hour or more, it becomes a hurricane. A hurricane can be hundreds of miles across. It's like a big engine, with upper-level winds acting as a vent, pulling the rising warm air away from the storm. Rain bands spiral around the center of the system. Air sinks in the clear center, or
