Because RAINEX was planned in advance of the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season, it did fly in to Hurricane Katrina among other storms. Hurricane Katrina followed a very similar track to a later storm in this season (Hurricane Rita); however, Katrina did not undergo eyewall replacement during its time in the Gulf of Mexico. RAINEX flights into ...
The project was run by the United States Government from 1962 to 1983. The hypothesis was that the silver iodide would cause supercooled water in the storm to freeze, disrupting the inner structure of the hurricane, and this led to seeding several Atlantic hurricanes. However, it was later shown that this hypothesis was incorrect.
Hurricane Beulah in 1967 was the first tropical cyclone to have its eyewall replacement cycle observed from beginning to end. [11] Previous observations of concentric eyewalls were from aircraft-based platforms. Beulah was observed from the Puerto Rico land-based radar for 34 hours during which time a double eyewall formed and dissipated. It ...
Hurricane Ian was a prolific lightning producer as it strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane on its approach to Florida. Storm chasers along the coast of Florida even witnessed cloud-to-ground ...
The relatively quick surge in sea level can move miles/kilometers inland, flooding homes and cutting off escape routes. The NOAA report about sea level states that the likeliness of storm surges during a hurricane has increased due to climate change, and by 2050, the chance of moderate flooding occurring will have increased by 10 times.
Storm surge: A storm surge is a rise in ocean water levels generated by a storm that is over and above a normal tide. You can estimate a storm surge by subtracting the normal tide from the storm tide.
Hurricanes Rita and Philippe shown with 1-2-3 rule predictions. The 1-2-3 rule (mariner's 1-2-3 rule or danger area) is a guideline commonly taught to mariners for severe storm (specifically hurricane and tropical storm) tracking and prediction. The 1-2-3 rule has two parts, the 34-Knot Rule which is the danger area to be avoided. [8]
Sharks move to deeper water. Alligators move from swamps, rivers and lakes to higher ground or burrow into the mud underground. Alligators live in freshwater but their nests can be washed out when ...
