Complicated Weather Prediction

The first reason why Hurricane Hunters are the most useful type of technology out of three listed is because it allows for the public to have more accurate information on storms. Hurricane Hunters obtain this information through

Meanwhile tornadoes are dramatically different from hurricanes. Hurricanes form over vast stretches of water, and the warmer the water the more the potentially deadly the hurricane will be. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 ""¦was responsible for at least 8000 deaths" (Blake, et al, 2011). Hurricanes develop in tropical oceans and move westward in the direction of the southern and eastern United States. Tornadoes also affected by the jet stream form over land, not over water, and although they can be up to a mile wide, they are generally a quarter of a mile wide. Hurricanes are sometimes several hundred miles wide which makes them a far

In this paper, I will discuss what tornadoes are and how they form, what different forms of tornadoes there are, what tornado watches and warning are and give examples of tornadoes in Oklahoma and what destruction they caused, also while providing information about the Doppler radar.

Another tool that has recently been in use to monitor hurricanes is the NASA Global Hawk, which is an experimental unmanned aircraft that is used to test possible operational capabilities within a hurricane. Likewise, once a hurricane is projected to become a threat to land, the hurricane is immediately monitored by the U.S. Air Force, and NOAA hurricane aircraft, and land stations.

In the article Weather Reconnaisance it tells a story based in July 27, 1943, a tropical storm was approaching Bryan Feild in Texas. A british pilot trainer by the name of Joe Duckworth, was being tonted about his AT-6. Defending his planes,

When people go on flights they are aribrone attempts to collect data, at the time airplanes collected data or the waether since tracking devices didnt exist. Later on the United States started putting weather reconnssiance around the world, weather satelites started to come here in the 1960s. Huriicane hunters now exists, so they go and three parts of a hurricane, they see they eye, eyewall and the spiral rain bands, they cant go down that far so they drop a hurricane sensor that has a parchute and it collects data every second. In paragraph 6 it says, " In sepetmber 1961, Weather Bureau forcatsers watched a crude television image from an expiremental weather satelite that showed a hurricane heading towards the Texas coast." The system to find out the weather that is used to day and that was used back then, is the most important technology because we need to know the weather, its impotant to know these things, especially if a hurricane is coming on our

The atmosphere is a chaotic system, so small changes to one part of the system can grow to have large effects on the system as a whole. This makes it difficult to accurately predict weather more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, meteorology. It is theoretically impossible to make useful day-to-day predictions more than about two weeks ahead, imposing an upper limit to potential for improved prediction skill.

Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s the usage of the word “tornado” in forecasts was prohibited by the Weather Bureau because it was “felt that mention of the word tornado provoked undue fear amongst the public” (Corfidi, 2010). While the ban was lifted eventually lifted, little research progress had been made until 1948 when two US Air Force weather officers successfully predicted a tornado in Oklahoma (2010). The prediction of this event is what led to the establishment of the US Air Force’s Severe Weather Warning Center and developed into what we know today as the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma (2010). Officially, 1948 was the beginning of tornado forecasting in the United States, and if we look at it from a prediction accuracy perspective it is still very much in its

1. It is hard to imagine a world without weather forecasts as they have become so indispensable to so many facets of everyday life in the 21st Century.

It was a large collaboration of human error in the weather bureau. When the first report came out from florida,The forecasters figured the hurricane would hit florida, which was wrong(youtube). While florida was preparing for the worst, the forecasters than changed their prediction, and thought the storm would die out at sea off cape hatteras, what only one forecaster knew, was that two high pressure systems were blocking the hurricane’s path out to sea and inland, forcing it to go to the northeast(youtube). When this one forecaster went to the main weather bureau, the head forecasters refused to acknowledge

I honestly can't blame anyone for it for the devastation of hurricane Katrina. It was a hurricane. You can't really stop a hurricane from coming. Sure, you can prepare for it by making levies and stocking food. But, you can't stop it. If we could we really wouldn't need weather forecasters.

Technologies are being developed to improve current meteorology to save more lives during storms. Scientists say that the Doppler Radar is getting a new part added to it. The new part will give a storm warning at a faster speed than normal and even measure the weather with more accuracy. This will help people evacuate quicker,

Have you ever wonder how a hurricane forms? Here are how they form, According to https://eo.ucar.edu/kids/dangerwx/hurricane3.htm “Hurricanes happen when the oceans have been warmed during summer months.”The ocean has to be at least 80 degrees fahrenheit for a hurricane to happen. “In the North Atlantic, hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, but most hurricanes happen during the fall.” If you live near water you have a high risk of having hurricanes in the fall.” Now that you seen how they form here are some ways they track hurricanes.

Miami, Florida is located in an area that is exposed to a lot of natural hazards. Hurricanes and flooding are two of the most prominent natural disasters that this area experiences. Due to the fact that these natural disasters occur so frequently, mitigation plans have been implemented to decrease the potential damage. In order to efficiently detect oncoming disasters, weather radars have been utilized to track high precipitation that may lead to floods. In addition, hurricane experts study the past hurricanes that passed through to get a better understanding of when a hurricane may strike. Other strategies to track future hurricanes include monitoring hurricane patterns from space.

Two primary features spiked increased storm activity. First, a strong Atlantic equatorial trough and steering currents. The National Hurricane Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) both issued predictions in advance for an increased season, but a westward steering current associated complimented a stable subtropical high-pressure system and caused unexpected effects. This pushed many of the hurricanes to track westward across the U.S.
