In posing this hypothesis we are following the arguments of Merrill (1985) that cyclone intensification is defined largely by the inhibiting, rather than the enhancing characteristics of the environment. Our approach is to conduct a range of numerical simulations to examine the impacts of a wide ...
This precursor to the tornado is called a mesocyclone, and it is typically 2 to 6 miles (3 to 10 kilometers) wide. Once a mesocyclone forms, there's a roughly 50 percent chance that the storm will escalate into a tornado in around 30 minutes. Some tornadoes consist of a single ...
Can someone not simplify what a ‘very severe cyclone’ is?” This would have enormous implications for collective action as well, reaffirmed participants of a focus group conducted in the Gosaba village, eastern periphery of the Sundarbans in India. They said: “Since we have lived in the ...
A Category 3 hurricane is one whose maximum sustained wind speeds fall between 111 mph and 129 mph, ensuring "devastating damage" to areas in its path. These storms carry the potential for major destruction affecting well-built homes and buildings, and are expected to cut off electricity and ...

The question of whether and to what extent global warming may be changing tropical cyclone (TC) activity is of great interest to decision makers. The prese

Rapid intensification (RI) is commonly recognized as a sharp increase in tropical cyclone (TC) intensity over a short duration, posing a significant challenge for operational TC forecasting. Given concerns about climate change and its impacts on TC activity, there has been an increasing focus on ...
The funnel is only visible because the water in the vortex has condensed (the same reason a cloud is visible). Tornadoes are preceded by funnel clouds, but not all funnel clouds reach the ground to realize this potential.Answer and Explanation: ...
