Beven II ([email protected]) NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season was quite active, with 19 named storms, 12 of which became hurricanes and 5 of which reached major hurricane intensity. These totals are well above the long-term normals of about 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. Although the 2010 season was considerably busier than normal, no hurricanes struck the United States. This was the most active season on record in the Atlantic that did not have a U.S. landfalling hurricane, and was also the second year in a row without a hurricane striking the U.S. coastline. A persistent trough along the east coast of the United States steered many of the hurricanes out to sea, while ridging over the central United States kept any hurricanes over the western part of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico farther south over Central America and Mexico. The most significant U.S. impacts occurred with Tropical Storm Hermine, which brought hurricane-force wind gusts to south Texas along with extremely heavy rain, six fatalities, and about $240 million dollars of damage. Hurricane Earl was responsible for four deaths along the east coast of the United States due to very large swells, although the center of the hurricane stayed offshore.

He has been writing on climate and energy issues since 2011. vi Executive summary 2017 saw a particularly severe hurricane season in the North Atlantic. In addition, economic losses from hurricanes are much greater than even a few decades ago. Together with 24/7 news coverage, these observations have led to renewed claims that global warming is lead- ing to more frequent and more intense hurricanes. This idea is based on the concept that hurricanes feed off warm waters: the warmer the waters, the more intense the hurricane. In addition, economic losses from hurricanes are much greater than even a few decades ago, simply because of greater wealth and urbanisation of vulnerable coastal areas. But what does the actual data tell us? One of the problems in evaluating long-term hurricane trends is that there have been wholesale changes in observation methodology since the 19th century. Until the 1940s, there were only ships’ logs and ad-hoc land observations.

  • Hurricane Threat to Florida Climate Change Or Demographics?
    Hurricane Threat to Florida Climate Change or Demographics? by Robert Ferguson October 2007 Updated and revised March 2008 Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org The ongoing controversy about hurricanes and global warming is a perfect example of the predicaments of consensus science. It also demonstrates that advocates who exploit the consensus argument against climate skeptics are more than happy to oppose the consensus - if it helps to further an alarmist agenda. Dr. Benny Peiser - 2 - Hurricane Threats to Florida Climate Change or Demographics? Background Florida has the distinction of holding several not-so-enviable records when it comes to hurricane strength, frequency, and subsequent death and damages (Blake et al., 2007). The Florida Keys Hurricane of 1935 among of the most intense Atlantic hurricanes ever to strike land, passing over Florida’s middle keys on September 2, 1935. It killed 408 Floridians. That storm was but one of Florida’s five entries among the top-10 most intense storms ever to make landfall anywhere in the United States. Number 3 in that list is 1992’s Hurricane Andrew which also ranks 2nd on the list of all-time most damaging storms (behind Katrina)—causing just under 50 billion dollars in property damage. All of the top-5 costliest hurricanes in U.S. history impacted Florida to some extent. Number 7 in the intensity list is the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 which caused a 6 to 9 foot lake surge killing 1,836 people in Florida and ranking it second all-time in the list of deadliest U.

  • 3B.5 a Fresh Look at Tropical Cyclone Pressure-Wind Relationships Using Recent Reconnaissance-Based “Best Track” Data (1998-2005)
    3B.5 A FRESH LOOK AT TROPICAL CYCLONE PRESSURE-WIND RELATIONSHIPS USING RECENT RECONNAISSANCE-BASED “BEST TRACK” DATA (1998-2005) Daniel P. Brown, James L. Franklin and Christopher Landsea NOAA/NWS/NCEP/Tropical Prediction Center, Miami, Florida 1. INTRODUCTION Determining the relationship between minimum sea level pressure (MSLP) and maximum sustained surface winds (MSSW) in tropical cyclones (TC) has been difficult due to the lack of ground truth observations. Previous studies such as Kraft (1961) and Atkinson and Holiday (1977) used limited surface observations at landfall to determine pressure-wind (PW) relationships. In recent years, GPS dropwindsondes have greatly improved our ability to estimate the MSLP and MSSW of tropical cyclones (Franklin 2000; Franklin et al. 2003; Hock and Franklin 1999). More reliable “best-track” data, coupled with the recent increase in TC activity in the Atlantic Basin, provides new incentive to reexamine PW relationships in Atlantic TCs. 2. DATA For this study, National Hurricane Center (NHC) best Figure 1. Positions of the 1053 best track MSLP and track data for the Atlantic Basin from 1998-2005 were MSSW data pairs used for this study. examined for times when a reconnaissance aircraft “fix” was available within +/- 3-hr of a best track time of a The recent increased TC activity and the unusually tropical cyclone.
