The U.S. government did experiments decades ago that aimed to weaken hurricanes, not strengthen or create them, according to NOAA records. In 1947, military scientists working with General ...
The newer research tools reach layers in the storm the hurricane hunters aircraft can’t, including the critical space near the surface where the atmosphere and hurricane interact with the ocean.
Tropical cyclone forecasting is the science of forecasting where a tropical cyclone's center, and its effects, are expected to be at some point in the future. There are several elements to tropical cyclone forecasting: track forecasting, intensity forecasting, rainfall forecasting, storm surge, tornado, and seasonal forecasting.
The hurricane had to have a less than 10 percent chance of approaching inhabited land within a day; [13] it had to be within range of the seeding aircraft; and it had to be a fairly intense storm with a well-formed eye. [9] The primary effect of these criteria was to make possible seeding targets extremely rare. [14]
Hurricanes are mixed-phase clouds, meaning that liquid and solid water (ice) are both present in the cloud. Typically, liquid water dominates at altitudes lower than the freezing level and solid water at altitudes where the temperature is colder than -40 °C. Between 0 °C and -40 °C water can exists in both phases simultaneously.
In 1973, the National Hurricane Center introduced the Saffir-Simpson scale, a five-category rating system that classified hurricanes by wind intensity.. At the bottom of the scale was Category 1 ...
Pumping up colder deep ocean water in front of a tropical storm to cool the sea surface skin temperature could be a technique used to fight hurricanes in the Atlantic before they develop into major hurricanes. [25] [26] It is purely speculative and difficult to realize since placing such pumps in the path of a hurricane would be difficult.
Among a wave of misinformation over Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, MTG suggested the governement controls the weather. Biden calls it stupid. No, the government didn't create the hurricanes.
