Hurricanes Research

     While searching for a particular weather related event I found the Hurricanes interest me the most. Hurricanes form and strengthen over oceanic regions. Hurricanes, depending on what parts of the world are accruing go by different names such as; typhoon, and the tropical cyclone. I thought hurricanes were the least expensive, the deadliest, but after doing a research on it I have learned that hurricanes are very deadly and do a lot of damage. Hurricanes have potential to spawn dangerous tornadoes. And they contain winds in       excess of 74 miles per hour.

      The way that hurricane is usually formed by moisture evaporating it rises until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere. And the winds begin to circle counterclockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. The center of the hurricane is called the eye. Hurricanes are most powerful when in the warm waters once it reaches land or cooler waters, it loses its source of power, and its wind gradually slow until they are no longer of hurricane force. Hurricanes form during the summer and autumn time of the year.

     Do you ever wonder why some clouds clusters thunderstorms organize themselves into hurricanes and others do not? Well I always wondered that question myself and after this research I have learned that researchers are designed to directly attack this question. What I have learned and had the knowledge of hurricanes was that they form in the warm waters with temperatures of up to 79F. During August through September 30, of 2010 three aircrafts will be taken to the sky and try to target the question I mentioned above and hopefully we will have a better understanding of hurricanes and maybe just maybe will be able to target them before they target us.

      Moreover, Hurricanes; form because of the warm moist waters. Hurricanes are also known as typhoons in Western North Pacific and are known as tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean.

     I will be keeping up with the National Center for Atmospheric Research; Hurricanes research, and hopefully I will be able to update my blog with the new learning of hurricanes and get a better understanding of this so called the deadliest weather storm of all. At the mean time please take some time to click on the link and watch the 9minute video of the three aircrafts and the forming of hurricanes.
