Global Warming and Hurricanes
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
The strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even
more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth's climate is

Well, here is a challenge:  Perhaps the left wing loonies can make a
prediction (yes, a prediction) about what the weather will be like this
winter.  Is global warming going to cause extra severe winter storms over
the U.S.A. or not?  And don't forget Santa and his reindeer and the ...

I'm considering going back to school and taking meteorology. I was wondering
what the job market is like, perticularly up here in Canada (Western
Canada). Also, what companies or sectors would I expect to find work (beside
the obvious of working for Environment Canada). Any tips ...

I didn't really pay attention this week to Rita -- lots
of things going on closer to home -- but I do recall
dire predictions of a stall over AR and persistent
rain and flooding.

I saw the satellite map from NOAA today, and noticed that the swirling
clouds which is lurking and located behind Rita is getting bigger and
more menacing. It is now located on the northwest side of the tip
Caribbean islands. I am not trying to make people worry, especially

Where does all of the air rushing into the low-pressure eye go?  Does
it just continually swirl around the eye, or does it go somewhere?  If
it just spins around the eye, what keeps it going?  And why do warm
water temperatures result in lower eye pressures?

Yet more positive feedbacks . . .

On the NOAA webpage I noted that the classification on hurricane strength was based on
wind speed averaged over 1 minute. At least in Europe classification of wind speeds in extra-tropical
storms call for a 10 minute average. Going from 10 to 1 minute average may yield a quite ...
