Nac MacFeegle	Posted - 2004.09.23 03:14:00 - [31] From the United States National Hurricane Center 'The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. The term typhoon is used for Pacific tropical cyclones north of the Equator west of the International Dateline.' 'Cyclone: An atmospheric closed circulation rotating counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.' So, in short, hurricanes (or whatever) happen in any big warm body of water. :) More to the point of this thread: 'Extratropical: A term used in advisories and tropical summaries to indicate that a cyclone has lost its "tropical" characteristics. The term implies both poleward displacement of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone's primary energy source from the release of latent heat of condensation to baroclinic (the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses) processes. It is important to note that cyclones can become extratropical and still retain winds of hurricane or tropical storm force.'

Weatherman Dan	Posted - 2004.09.23 05:00:00 - [33] Originally by: Pazazu Originally by: Narine Erm... There are no tornados in the northern hemisphere. Only in the equatorial or whatever. Hurricanes occur ONLY in the northern hemisphere. Well, in the southern hemisphere they are called Typhoons, and rotate the other way. Tornados are a completely different animal, and can theorhetically occur anywhere, but are most commonly found in the midwest of the United States. Iceland isn't going to be hit by a hurricane though. Tropical storms draw their strength from warm equatorial water. By the time it travels that far north it is not going to be classified as a hurricane anymore. Just a big ol storm. Almost, but not quite, correct. Typhoon is simply the name given to tropical cyclones with winds 74 mph or greater in the northern hemisphere in the west Pacific Ocean (not in the southern hemisphere). Thus, they, like hurricanes (which are tropical cyclones in the eastern Pacific or Atlantic basins), rotate counter-clockwise. Tropical cyclones that do form in the southern hemisphere are given no special name, but are simply referred to as tropical cyclones, and they do indeed rotate clockwise. In essence, though, they are all the same phenomena, no matter where they form. The naming convention is a little screwy, and is based more on tradition and history than anything else. And yes, I am a meteorologist (a researcher, not an operational forecaster, although I could be if I wanted to :) ), hence the name :). Tornadoes are indeed a completely different animal. In fact, landfalling tropical cyclones themselves often spawn hordes of relatively weak tornadoes (compared to the monsters we get here in OK, for example).

Weatherman Dan	Posted - 2004.09.23 05:01:00 - [35] Originally by: CmdrRat I'm from florida so I've been camping the National Hurricane Center's web page for a month now. Twice I've had eve interupted due to a storm and now I see this track. Get to a safespot I'd advise you to keep a very close eye on Jeanne. The models are beginning to come around to a track solution that brings Jeanne very close or over the east coast of FL, similar to Frances (which I went through on a research mission by the way -- quite a ride!). No way of telling the intensity by that point, however.

Vegeta	Posted - 2004.09.24 09:53:00 - [41] Originally by: Sewell We have bad weather in sweden too! Link Don't steal our thunder :P They're worried that if a hurricane hits it might tear the roof off the CCP building. I can almost imagine Oveur with his whip shouting to the devs 'Keep typing boys, it will be over soon' with the roof gone and the building about to collapse. 2005.04.25 16:40:42 combat Your 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II perfectly strikes LawrenceNewton [WARAG], wrecking for 2706.9 damage.

CmdrRat	Posted - 2004.09.26 23:55:00 - [49] Just got power back, out for less than 12 hours. Down side is Grandma is staying over, which I can't even begin to explain how much that sucks. ________________________________________________ Except for Ending Slavery, Fascism and communism, War Has Never Solved Anything
