A more comprehensive statement was also developed at the workshop. The summary statement notes the following: "The surfaces of most tropical oceans have warmed by 0.25-0.5 degree Celsius during the past several decades. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) considers that the likely primary cause of the rise in global mean surface temperature in the past 50 years is the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.... ...Some recent scientific articles have reported a large increase in tropical cyclone energy, numbers, and wind-speeds in some regions during the last few decades in association with warmer sea surface temperatures. Other studies report that changes in observational techniques and instrumentation are responsible for these increases."

    Extractions: TOPICS: how do hurricanes form? hurricane safety hurricane links 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

54. 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: HOME CLOUD/PRECIP FCST MOVIE TEMPERATURE FCST MOVIE 2005 HURRICANES ... 2007 HURRICANES 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.

Low-res Hurricanes bring destructive winds, storm surge, torrential rain, flooding, and tornadoes. A single storm can wreak havoc on coastal and inland communities and on natural areas over thousands of square miles. In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma demonstrated the devastation that hurricanes can inflict and the importance of hurricane hazards research and preparedness. More than half of the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of a coast, and this number is increasing. Many of these areas, especially the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, will be in the direct path of future hurricanes. Hawaii is also vulnerable to hurricanes.

    hurricanes are very destructive storms of nature. They consist of very powerful and deadly winds that measure from 200300 miles in diameter.  
    http://longwood.cs.ucf.edu/~MidLink/hurricanes.html
    
    Extractions: 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. 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. 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.
