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.
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 surface electric field causes electrical currents, known as geomagnetically induced currents (GIC), to flow in any conducting structure, for example, a power or pipeline grid grounded in the Earth. This electric field, measured in V/km, acts as a voltage source across networks.

Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified from a tropical storm with 35 mph to a Category 5 hurricane with 180 mph in two days. See its rapid evolution.
Hurricanes are mixed-phase clouds, meaning that liquid and solid water (ice) are both present in the cloud. Typically, liquid water dominates at altitudes lower than the freezing level and solid water at altitudes where the temperature is colder than -40 °C. Between 0 °C and -40 °C water can exists in both phases simultaneously.
Hurricane Helene’s path of devastation is so vast, it can be seen from orbit. Satellite images taken after the storm show a blacked-out area where residents have lost power spreading across five ...
