A space hurricane is a huge, funnel-like, spiral geomagnetic storm that occurs above the polar Ionosphere of Earth, during extremely quiet conditions. [1] [2] They are related to the aurora borealis phenomenon, as the electron precipitation from the storm's funnel produces gigantic, cyclone-shaped auroras.
The exports and imports are halted in sea ports due to the cyclone. Some people lose their jobs as well. A mature tropical cyclone can release heat at a rate upwards of 6×10 14 watts. [1] Tropical cyclones on the open sea cause large waves, heavy rain, and high winds, disrupting international shipping and, at times, causing shipwrecks. [2]
The compounding effects from floods, storm surge, and terrestrial flooding (rivers) are projected to increase due to global warming. [11] There is currently no consensus on how climate change will affect the overall frequency of tropical cyclones. [1] A majority of climate models show a decreased frequency in future projections. [12]
The proportion of tropical cyclones reaching category four and five may increase by around 10% if global temperature rises are limited to 1.5C, increasing to 13% at 2C and 20% at 4C, the IPCC says ...
The National Weather Service has identified six main hazards associated with tropical weather, including surge and tornadoes.
Eta caused $178.4 million (2020 USD) in damage and killed 2 people, [319] [320] while Iota was much more destructive, killing 28 people and causing $564 million (2020 USD) in damage. [ 321 ] [ 322 ] [ 323 ] Tropical Storm Alma is the only tropical cyclone on record to make landfall on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua.
Typhoon Parma (left) and Melor (right) interacting with each other in the Philippine Sea on October 6, 2009.. The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices move around each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas.
• Francine’s final stretch: Now a post-tropical cyclone, Francine is expected to rain itself out over the Southeast Friday and then fully dissipate over the weekend. Flooding still poses a ...
