Sentences with phrase «hurricane formation rates»

Higher resolution models tended to get more hurricane formation (perhaps unsurprisingly), with quarter - degree models parameterized using observed SSTs generally capturing historical hurricane formation rates fairly accurately.

Not exact matches

Wind shear is related to the rate at which different layers in the atmosphere move — zero shear means that the layers all move together, large shear means that the upper layers are moving very differently to those below — and is inimical to hurricane formation and intensification.

So, the physics should condense to a very simple relationship, if you put the intensive factor f * -LRB-(570-80/490) into equation 4 the fraction becomes dimensionless, where f is Fractional part of ice / water in system, f = 1 assuming all water is converted to ice in the ascending wall, it would place a break to maximum wind speed but also slow down the hurricane rate of formation.

If weather events like hurricanes are a function of heat gradients, not of heat content, then it follows that raising Tmin more than Tmax, via atmospheric CO2, will cause their formation rates and their magnitude to fall
