Book Hurricanes of the Gulf of Mexico

Download or read book Hurricanes of the Gulf of Mexico written by Barry D. Keim and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The storm has entered the Gulf." For those who live or travel near the Gulf of Mexico, this ominous announcement commands attention, especially given the frequency and force of hurricane strikes in recent years. Since 2004, the shores around the Gulf of Mexico have been in the crosshairs for an increasing number of hurricanes and tropical storms, including Charley and Wilma in southwestern Florida and Ivan, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike along the northern Gulf coast from Panama City to near Galveston. In this definitive guide, climatologists Barry D. Keim and Robert A. Muller examine the big picture of Gulf hurricanes -- from the 1800s to the present and from Key West, Florida, to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula -- providing an extraordinary compilation and interpretation of the entire region's hurricane and tropical storm history. Drawing from their own research and from National Hurricane Center records, Keim and Muller examine numerous individual Gulf storms, considering each hurricane's origin, oceanic and atmospheric influences, seasonality, track, intensity, size, point of landfall, storm surge, and impact on life, property, and the environment. They describe the unique features of the Gulf that influence the development of hurricanes, such as the loop current and its eddies, and identify areas of the coastline that are more or less vulnerable because of physical environment, socioeconomic environment, or both. They point out that the increase in population along the Gulf Coast over the past century has led to a rise in hurricane damage as once sparse coastlines are now lined with residents, commerce, and industry. In addition, they assess predicted hurricane activity for coming years in light of competing climate theories as well as cyclical patterns over the past century. Keim and Muller begin their book by scrutinizing the Gulf's deadliest storm, the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, whose victims received little to no warning of its approach. They then retrace 2005's Hurricane Katrina, the most costly storm, using NHC advisories and reports. Their comparison of these two catastrophic events shows that despite 105 years of tremendous technological advances, hurricanes remain ultimately rather unpredictable and human warning, readiness, and response measures continue to be imperfect. Keim and Muller also detail other memorable Gulf storms -- the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Audrey, Betsy, Camille, Gilbert, Andrew, Wilma, and more -- and give the hurricane strike records from 1901 to 2005 at thirty locations around the Gulf. They extend the New Orleans hurricane strike record back to the middle of the nineteenth century, providing key insight into comparisons of storm activities during the two centuries. An epilogue summarizes the destructive 2008 hurricane season, including storms Dolly, Gustav, and Ike. Plentiful maps, charts, tables, graphs, and photos, along with anecdotal observations and an informative text, make Hurricanes of the Gulf of Mexico a captivating and useful volume for Gulf residents, storm trackers, or anyone fascinated by the weather.

Book Hurricane Almanac

  • Author : Bryan Norcross
  • Publisher : St. Martin's Griffin
  • Release : 2007-05-29
  • ISBN : 1429907401
  • Pages : 353 pages

Download or read book Hurricane Almanac written by Bryan Norcross and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-05-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Information from CBS News' Hurricane Analyst Bryan Norcross's pioneering and courageous TV coverage of Hurricane Andrew in 1992 helped millions of people in Florida cope with the killer storm. This revised and updated version of last year's popular almanac adds detailed stories of the powerful hurricanes of the past that would be catastrophes if they happened today and explores how explosive coastal development during a time of relatively few hurricanes has set the stage for mega-disasters. If hurricanes make landfall today at the rate they did in much of the twentieth century, how could we prevent the unimaginable destruction? A new section will also help you better understand hurricane advisories. Bryan Norcross's Hurricane Almanac is two books in one. The first half is hurricane science, history, and perspectives on how we, as a society, deal with hurricanes. The second half is a personal guide to "Living Successfully in the Hurricane Zone." In addition to reviewing and explaining the relatively mild 2006 hurricane season, it looks forward to hurricane seasons to come, highlights the fascinating history of hurricanes interacting with civilization, and details our rapidly increasingly ability---but still with limitations---to predict the severity and tracks of storms. With preparation checklists and shopping lists, an easy-to-understand guide to the technical information coming from the National Hurricane Center, and critical practical information, Hurricane Almanac is your essential guide to coping with Mother Nature's greatest storms. A provocative chapter entitled: How I'd Do It Better details Norcross's ideas for a better hurricane system. -Family Communications -Evacuation Decision-making -Staying in a House -Staying in an Apartment -Shutters -Hurricane-proof Windows -Backup Power -Generators -Computer Hurricane Plan -Post-storm Air-Conditioning -Candles -Pool Preparation -Pets, Boats, Cars, and Businesses -Insurance

Book Hurricane Isabel  A Numerical Model Study of Storm Surge Along the East Coast of the United States

Download or read book Hurricane Isabel A Numerical Model Study of Storm Surge Along the East Coast of the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 6th of September 2003, a westward moving tropical wave in the far eastern Atlantic began to organize and evolve into tropical storm Isabel. By September 7, Isabel had become a full-fledged hurricane and began to move west-northwest. Isabel continued her northwest track through the 8th and 9th, intensifying into a major hurricane. By September 11th, Isabel had become a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, and maintained this high level of intensity through September 15th. During this time Isabel took a more westward track, until it began to turn northwestward on the 15th. On the 16th, Isabel began to weaken and headed in a north-northwestward direction toward the North Carolina coast. On September 18th, at approximately 17Z, Isabel made landfall near Drum Point, North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds near 100 mph and a minimum central pressure of 957 mb. Hurricane forecast winds extended 115 miles from the center of its eye with tropical storm force winds extending 345 miles out from the center. By 1500Z (11 am EDT) on September 19th, Isabel was downgraded to a tropical depression located northeast of Cleveland, Ohio and was moving rapidly to the north. Numerical ocean models can be used to both forecast and hindcast storm surge events. These models use the wind and pressure forcing associated with a hurricane or tropical storm to associated storm surge.
