One Hurricane, One Raid

Product Information

An average of 86 tropical cyclones of tropical storm intensity form annually worldwide. Of those, 47 reach strength higher than 119km/h (74mph), and 20 become intense tropical cyclones (at least Category3 intensity on the Saffir–Simpson scale).

Several factors are required for these thunderstorms to develop further, including sea surface temperatures of around 27°C (81°F) and low vertical wind shear surrounding the system, [37] [38] atmospheric instability, high humidity in the lower to middle levels of the troposphere, enough Coriolis force to develop a low-pressure center, and a pre-existing low-level focus or disturbance. [38]

In the tropics there is a broad zone of low pressure which stretches either side of the equator. The winds on the north side of this zone blow from the north-east (the north-east trades) and on the southern side blow from the south-east (south-east trades).

Retrieved August 23, 2019.A variety of methods or techniques, including surface, satellite, and aerial, are used to assess the intensity of a tropical cyclone. Reconnaissance aircraft fly around and through tropical cyclones, outfitted with specialized instruments, to collect information that can be used to ascertain the winds and pressure of a system. [4] Tropical cyclones possess winds of different speeds at different heights. Winds recorded at flight level can be converted to find the wind speeds at the surface. [61] Surface observations, such as ship reports, land stations, mesonets, coastal stations, and buoys, can provide information on a tropical cyclone's intensity or the direction it is traveling. [4] Wind-pressure relationships (WPRs) are used as a way to determine the pressure of a storm based on its wind speed. Several different methods and equations have been proposed to calculate WPRs. [62] [63] Tropical cyclones agencies each use their own, fixed WPR, which can result in inaccuracies between agencies that are issuing estimates on the same system. [63] The ASCAT is a scatterometer used by the MetOp satellites to map the wind field vectors of tropical cyclones. [4] The SMAP uses an L-band radiometer channel to determine the wind speeds of tropical cyclones at the ocean surface, and has been shown to be reliable at higher intensities and under heavy rainfall conditions, unlike scatterometer-based and other radiometer-based instruments.

Various meteorological organisations have responsibility for names and employ different conventions. Some cycle through a set number of lists starting at "A" each year. Some continuously cycle through names without reverting to a new list each year and some use a unique list each year. The names of all tropical storms, hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones and are known in advance.In the areas with cyclical lists a name will be retired if the cyclone bearing it was particularly notorious and caused loss of life.

[6] Tropical cyclone scales such as the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale and Australia's scale (Bureau of Meteorology) only use wind speed for determining the category of a storm. [7] [8] The most intense storm on record is Typhoon Tip in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1979, which reached a minimum pressure of 870 hPa (26 inHg) and maximum sustained wind speeds of 165kn (85m/s; 305km/h; 190mph). [9] The highest maximum sustained wind speed ever recorded was 185kn (95m/s; 345km/h; 215mph) in Hurricane Patricia in 2015—the most intense cyclone ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere.
