Tropical cyclones with at least 74 mph winds are only differentiated as hurricanes, typhoons or the generic term "tropical cyclone," because of where they occur. If two storms with similar properties developed over the North Atlantic and Southwest Pacific Oceans, the former would be called a hurr...
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones carry a variety of acute and long-term public health risks. However, unlike some disaster scenarios where patterns of morbidity and mortality are relatively predictable, hurricanes have many variables, making it difficult to predict health outcomes with any ...
Hurricanes, which are more broadly called "tropical cyclones" because they originate over Earth's tropical oceans, are some of nature's largest and fiercest storms. They get their name from Hurican, the Carib god of evil, according to theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Wo...
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones (hereafter TCs) refer to intense storms that start at sea over warm water and sometimes reach land. Since 1970, around 90 of these storms occur annually, causing large amounts of damage (Schreck et al.2014). The expected annual global damage from t...
A tropical cyclone represents one of the most mature stages in the development of a tropical disturbance. However, it is well-known that out of the numerous low pressure disturbances which form every year in different parts of the tropics, only a very small percentage develops into a mature ...
Typhoons and hurricanes are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones (热带气旋). However, they go by different names 1 where they occur. Typhoons develop in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean. They most 2 occur from late June to December. When winds blow into warm seawater, a ...
No matter what they are called—cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons—the giant tropical storms that form in oceans near the Americas and Asia can be deadly, destructive and terrifyingly capricious. At full throttle, these low-pressure systems pack more power than the energy released by the atomic bo...

Classification of hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale has been used extensively over the past four decades to classify hurricanes in the Atlantic. It is based on the maximum wind velocity (or central pressure) in the hurricane and is used to diagnose the sever... L...
