Sentences with phrase «cyclonic energy»

As explained by MIT physicist Richard Lindzen, the reduction of the temperature differential between the north hemisphere and the equatorial part of our planet makes cyclonic energy much smaller: the importance and frequency of extreme events thus tend to decrease.

Via the Weather Underground, here is Accumulated Cyclonic Energy for the Western Pacific (lower numbers represent fewer cyclonic storms with less total strength):

Over that same 17 years there is no obvious trend in the total cyclonic energy index, droughts, floods, or tornadoes.

He named this the Accumulated Cyclonic Energy.

Not exact matches

And shear is important in generating «eddies» — cyclonic or anticyclonic swirls of energy — within the overall wind flow.

(If this is true then the deeper energy content should be much lower and hence a poor source for feeding a cyclonic phenomena.)

(If this is true then the deeper energy content should be much lower and hence a poor source for feeding a cyclonic phenomena.)

I doubt that the energy - transporting effects of thunderclouds, summer squalls, cyclonic storms, monsoon rains, etc. are known with quantitative precision.even approaching 10 % Are they?

It's far from a complete picture of the cyclonic processes because one has to take into account that there are changes in energy due to altitude and that the system is open; able to draw in e.g. less - humid air from around the storm, leading to further surface evaporation.

A better metric is the total energy of cyclonic storms, land - falling or not, where again there is no trend.
