Wave of a Hurricane
Background
Hurricanes are the most destructive storms on Earth. They
develop from tropical storms (cyclones) and are classified as
hurricanes when their winds reach 64 kt (about 119 kph or
74 mph). Hurricanes have a small central region known as
the eye, where the winds are light and there are few clouds.
Moving out from the eye, there is a narrow band of intense
thunderstorms, heavy rains, and strong winds. This first band
wall are strong but
is called the eye wall. Beyond the eye
diminishing winds and thunderstorms. Hurricanes are very
large storms that can reach 500 km in diameter. The strength
or intensity and duration of these storms depend upon many
meteorological variables such as mid-level wind speed,
water temperature, humidity, position of fronts, and upper
level winds.
Hurricanes contain tremendous amounts of energy. They
gather this energy from warm ocean waters in the tropics.
As the warm, humid air rises, it cools and condenses, releasing
heat (called latent heat). Latent heat is the heat released or
absorbed when substances change phases. This heat warms
the surrounding air, making it lighter and causing it to rise
farther. As the warm air rises, cooler air flows in to replace it,
causing wind. The ocean warms this cooler air, and the cycle
continues. The heat from warm ocean water is the fuel for
hurricanes. For this reason, hurricanes diminish and die when
they move inland or move into colder water.
Objective
Track the position of Hurricane Ike and distinguish between
a hurricane watch and a hurricane warning issued by the
National Weather Service.
Vocabulary
Hurricane: A weather
phenomenon in which a
storm is made up of winds
greater than 119 kph or
74 mph directed around
an area of low pressure.
Storm surge: The rise in
sea level caused by wind
and pressure associated
with a hurricane.
