Hurricanes, Cyclones, and Typhoons - ScienceDirectMark E. GebhartCiottones Disaster Medicine
hurricanes are bound to be affected. So far, it's not evident that hurricanes are necessarily forming more often because of rising temperatures, although scientists do predict that hurricane activity and intensity will likely increase in future years. ...
Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which traversed the North Equatorial Current (NEC; 8–17 °N) in the western North Pacific in 2018, was the most intense Category-5 tropical cyclone (TC) with the longest duration in history—3.5 days. Here we show that the combin
Hurricanes usually generate off the coast of West Africa and move westward toward Central America and the eastern United States. They increase in size and strength until they reach land or more northern latitudes. In addition to high, sustained winds, hurricanes deliver heavy rain and devastating ...
HurricanesOKEONOKINAWAUrbanization gradientTwo major human-caused threats to ecosystems are habitat modification and the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.To study the combined effect of these threats,the authors used acoustic monitoring of bats along a habitat modification gradient...
In contrast to cyclones in middle and high latitudes, severe tropical storms develop only over oceans and in regions where the baroclinity of the basic current is weak. The frequency of hurricanes over the Atlantic is well correlated with the seasonal variation of sea-surface temperature, shown ...
Storm, violent atmospheric disturbance, characterized by low barometric pressure, cloud cover, precipitation, strong winds, and possibly lightning and thunder. Storm is a generic term, popularly used to describe a large variety of atmospheric disturbance
