Trade wind

Model or Hadley Cell (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 2007). Hadley’s Single-Cell theory failed to consider the Coriolis Effect which prevents air from traveling directly to the poles and could not explain the westerly winds in the mid-latitudes (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 2007). In the 1850’s research provides greater insight to the westerlies and polar easterlies,…

They typically form between 5 degrees and 20 degrees latitude north or south (Guida). Hurricanes move in a counterclockwise motion from east to west in the trade winds and from west to east in the westerlies (Guida). Hurricanes have an average diameter of 344 miles and move 10 to 31 miles per hour (Guida). The strongest part of a hurricane lies in the right front/ northeast quadrant only if the storm is northbound (Guida). There are four developmental stages of a hurricane and each of them are…

“Dances With Wolves, I am Wind in His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?” Said Wind in His Hair to John Dunbar.

Throughout history, hurricanes have been recognized as some of the most violent storms ever recorded. A hurricane can be defined as, “ A violent, tropical, cyclonic storm of the western North Atlantic, having wind speeds of or in excess of 72 miles per hour.” Cyclonic storms are those with, “A system of winds rotating inward to an area of low atmospheric pressure, with a counterclockwise (northern hemisphere) or clockwise (southern hemisphere) circulation; a depression”. The rain,accompanying a…

A hurricane, by definition, is a tropical cyclone with strong winds spiraling inward and upward and speeds ranging from 75 mph to 200 mph. Hurricanes emerge from the Atlantic basin, which consists of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and, less often, the central north Pacific Ocean. Most hurricanes follow a similar cycle of development. Some may run their course in as little as a day or as long as a month. They weaken and are transformed into…

The Great Storm There was once a historic fight between the greek wind god and the sea god, which resulted in the creation of the natural disaster we now call hurricanes. The people would explain the great storm (hurricanes) as a fight or argument with the wind and the water god back in the Greek times. The argument first started with who would be able to do what? For example, who would create the storms and control over them?, or who would the storm go where? This ended in a argument against…

Most of us also know that when it 's the season for these storms, it means the atmosphere is primed for instability, which can come in the form of thunderstorms, gusty conditions, and downpours. But have you ever wondered what makes a hurricane, well, a hurricane? You 're about to find out. A hurricane is essentially a cyclone that forms when there 's a lot of moisture. In fact, it 's this moisture, which emanates from the ocean, that gives hurricane…

Weather: Tornadoes What are tornadoes, “the violently rotating winds of destruction”? A tornado is defined as a mobile, violently rotating column extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The Damage that a tornado can cause depends on the wind speed and the size. The most Violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of two hundred and fifty miles per hour or more. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and fifty miles long. In an average year, eight hundred…

During heavy wind storms, Coastal Hwy, or Rt.1, can become covered in ocean water. Where buildings don’t hinder the path from the ocean, sand blows across the road creating slick and treacherous driving conditions. Traveling north and seeing the various little towns that make up the coast of this peninsula: OC, Fenwick, South Bethany, across the Indian River bridge, through Dewey Beach and finally into Rehoboth. At just before 6:00am, I enter the property and drive around back to the project…
