  2. Atlantic hurricane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_hurricane

    The largest hurricane (in gale diameter winds) on record to form in the North Atlantic was Hurricane Sandy (2012) with a gale diameter of 870 miles (1,400 km). [52] The longest-lasting hurricane was the 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane, which lasted for 27 days and 18 hours as a tropical cyclone. [53]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyewall_replacement_cycle

    Annular hurricanes have been simulated that have gone through the life cycle of an eyewall replacement. The simulations show that the major rainbands will grow such that the arms will overlap, and then it spirals into itself to form a concentric eyewall. The inner eyewall dissipates, leaving a hurricane with a singular large eye with no rainbands.

    The Hurricane Surge Index is a metric of the potential damage a storm may inflict via storm surge. It is calculated by squaring the dividend of the storm's wind speed and a climatological value (33 m/s or 74 mph), and then multiplying that quantity by the dividend of the radius of hurricane-force winds and its climatological value (96.6 km or ...

  9. Eye (cyclone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_(cyclone)

    This project set out to seed clouds outside the eyewall, causing a new eyewall to form and weakening the storm. When it was discovered that this was a natural process due to hurricane dynamics, the project was quickly abandoned. [8] Research shows that 53 percent of intense hurricanes undergo at least one of these cycles during its existence. [15]
