The space hurricane was characterized by a cyclone-like auroral spot with multiple spiral arms, due to precipitating electrons, strong circular plasma vorticity with zero horizontal flow at its center (the equivalent of the eye of an atmospheric hurricane), a negative-to-positive bipolar magnetic structure (showing a circular magnetic field ...
In 2018, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) captured an image of Uranus that showed a large, bright, polar cap over the north pole. The storm is thought to be long-lived and scientists hypothesize it formed by seasonal changes in atmospheric flow. [32] In 2006, Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Uranus Dark Spot.
On Aug. 14, 2014, a hurricane churned high above the North Pole. It was the heart of the Atlantic hurricane season at the time, but this hurricane's eye did not touch the water, and it did not ...
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 ...
In 2007, "How to stop a hurricane" [20] explored various ideas such as: Using lasers to discharge lightning in storms which are likely to become hurricanes; Pouring liquid nitrogen onto the sea to deprive the hurricane of heat energy. Creating soot to absorb sunlight and change air temperature and create convection currents in the outer wall.
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.
In November 2006, scientists discovered a storm at the south pole of Saturn with a distinct eyewall. This is characteristic of a hurricane on Earth and had never been seen on another planet before. Unlike a terrestrial hurricane, the storm appears to be stationary at the pole. The storm is 8,000 km (5,000 mi) across, and 70 km (43 mi) high ...
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 ...
