Typhoon Parma (left) and Melor (right) interacting with each other in the Philippine Sea on October 6, 2009.. The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices move around each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas.
Animated mapping is the application of animation, either a computer or video, to add a temporal component to a map displaying change in some dimension. Most commonly the change is shown over time , generally at a greatly changed scale (either much faster than real-time or much slower).
This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1985 to 2005. The map was created with the WPTC track map generator by Nilfanion.. The track map generator program generates a track map from the NHC HURDAT data, [A 1] or from Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) B-deck data files (commonly referred to as "best track" files).

English: Timelapse animation of w:Hurricane Wilma from satellite photos. The descriptive text at the NOAA site reads; "The color of the ocean represents sea surface temperature with orange and red colors indicating temperatures of 82°F or greater.
A hurricane can be idealized as a Carnot heat engine powered by the temperature difference between the sea and the uppermost layer of the troposphere. As air is drawn in towards the eye it acquires latent heat from evaporating sea-water, which is then released as sensible heat during the rise inside the eyewall and radiated away at the top of the storm system.
Humans do not have the technology to control such vast weather systems. Hurricanes are hitting many of the same areas they have for centuries. Fully developed hurricanes release massive amounts of heat energy — the equivalent of a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes, according to National Hurricane Center tropical analysis chief Chris ...
The latest disinformation swirling the hurricanes have pointed to Project STORMFURY, an effort whereby U.S. government attempted "human interference and hurricane modification" during the Cold War.
