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 ...
Climate change might make hurricanes more intense but less frequent. Reliable global records of hurricane intensity only go back about four decades, when weather satellites began scientists to ...
A solar storm is a disturbance on the Sun, which can emanate outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere, and is the cause of space weather in the short-term with long-term patterns comprising space climate. [1] [2]
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 environmental hazards associated with climate change threaten the physical and mental health of children and families — and can be a source of anxiety. It's not just speculation.
A hurricane can be idealized as a Carnot heat engine powered by the temperature difference between the sea and the uppermost layer of the troposphere. As air is drawn in towards the eye it acquires latent heat from evaporating sea-water, which is then released as sensible heat during the rise inside the eyewall and radiated away at the top of the storm system.
Climate change connections A stop sign can be barely seen above a flooded parking lot after torrential rain from Hurricane Helene caused severe flooding in Morganton, N.C., on Saturday. (Kathy ...
Such storms cause data-interpretation problems because the space weather-related magnetic field changes are similar in magnitude to those of the subsurface crustal magnetic field in the survey area. Accurate geomagnetic storm warnings, including an assessment of storm magnitude and duration, allows for an economic use of survey equipment.
