  • ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005
    MARCH 2008 ANNUAL SUMMARY 1109 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005 JOHN L. BEVEN II, LIXION A. AVILA,ERIC S. BLAKE,DANIEL P. BROWN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, RICHARD D. KNABB,RICHARD J. PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1.

Bica has been approved for the Department of Computer Science Prof. Leysia Palen (chair) Prof. Kenneth M. Anderson Dr. Julie L. Demuth Prof. Brian C. Keegan Prof. Clayton Lewis Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. IRB protocol #19-0077, 19-0109 iii Bica, Melissa J. (Ph.D., Computer Science) The Crisis Informatics of Online Hurricane Risk Communication Thesis directed by Prof. Leysia Palen Social media are increasingly used by both the public and emergency management in disasters. In disasters arising from weather-related hazards such as hurricanes, social media are especially used for communicating about risk in the pre-disaster period when the nature of the hazard is uncertain. This dissertation explores the sociotechnical aspects of hurricane risk communication, especially information diffusion, interpretation, and reaction, as it occurs on social media between members of the public and authoritative weather experts. I first investigate the kinds of hurricane risk information that were shared by authoritative sources on social media during the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season and how different kinds of infor- mation diffuse temporally.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

The 18-story building, at 2000 Crawford on the edge of Midtown near downtown, is recognizable from the Pierce Elevated for its large white crosses. It was purchased from a partnership led by Houston-based Mission Cos. “We have two giant canvases that everybody sees,” said Andrew Segal, chief executive officer of Boxer Property. “It’s like a photo bomb in the entire downtown skyline.” Boxer Property has commissioned artists to come up with ideas for the exterior of the building. The crosses will come down, Segal said, but what goes up is anyone’s guess. The goal is to create something that people will want to photograph and share.

Her work at RFF focuses primarily on electricity policy with the Future of Power Initiative and includes work on carbon pricing, electricity market design, and electrification. Outside of her work on electricity, Cleary has worked on economic studies on the value of information. Cleary holds an MEM with a focus on energy policy from the Yale School of the Environment and a BA in economics and environmental policy from Boston University. Alan Krupnick is a senior fellow at Resources for the Future. Krupnick’s research focuses on analyzing environmental and energy issues, in particular, the benefits, costs and design of pollution and energy policies, both in the United States and abroad. Krupnick’s portfolio includes oil and gas issues, the value of information agenda covered by our VALUABLES initiative with NASA, and policies to bring down industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. Seth Villanueva is research analyst at Resources for the Future. He graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2019 with a BA in economics and a minor in mathematics. At UCSB, Seth worked as a Gretler Research Fellow under Professor Olivier Deschenes to study economic outcomes related to the scaling of wind power generation. Seth’s current projects at RFF focus on the valuation of climate models and resource management services, as well as the maintaining of RFF’s annual Global Energy Outlook report.

  • Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Ophelia 6-17 September 2005
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Ophelia 6-17 September 2005 Jack Beven and Hugh D. Cobb, III National Hurricane Center 24 January 2006 Updated track near Nova Scotia 14 June 2006 Hurricane Ophelia was a category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale that brushed the North Carolina Outer Banks, its center staying just offshore from that coast. The storm’s erratic and slow movement in the vicinity of the North Carolina coastline was similar to Hurricanes Bonnie in August 1998 and Dennis in August 1999. a. Synoptic History Ophelia formed from a non-tropical weather system. A cold front moved off the eastern coast of the United States on 1 September. The front moved southeastward and became part of an elongated trough of low pressure that extended from Tropical Depression Lee east of Bermuda to near the Florida Peninsula. Two areas of low pressure formed in the trough on 4 September. The eastern low, south of Bermuda, eventually became Hurricane Nate. The western low, near the Bahamas, became Ophelia. The pre-Ophelia low initially drifted southward. It began a northward drift on 5 September while the associated shower activity became better organized. Based on satellite, surface, and radar observations, it is estimated the low became a tropical depression near 0600 UTC 6 September between Andros and Grand Bahama Islands. The “best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 1. The depression moved generally northward, with the broad circulation center crossing Grand Bahama about 1600 UTC 6 September.

  • 1 Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Nate 5-10 September 2005 Stacy R
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Nate 5-10 September 2005 Stacy R. Stewart National Hurricane Center 29 November 2005 Nate was a category 1 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) that briefly threatened Bermuda before merging with an extratropical low pressure system over the central Atlantic Ocean. a. Synoptic History Nate’s origin was the result of a complex interaction between a tropical wave and a broad upper-level low pressure system located northeast of the Bahamas. The incipient wave moved off the west coast of Africa on 30 August and maintained a vigorous area of convection along the wave axis as it moved westward across the far eastern Atlantic. However, by 1 September most of the deep thunderstorm activity had been stripped away by strong southwesterly winds ahead of a sharp mid- to upper-level trough that extended southward from the central Atlantic Ocean into the deep tropics. Despite the lack of convection, the wave remained well-defined as it moved west-northwestward. The wave fragmented into two pieces, with the northern portion of the wave passing between the Leeward Islands and Hurricane Maria on 3 September, while the innocuous southern portion of the wave moved westward into the Caribbean Sea. By early on 4 September, the northern portion of the wave began to interact with a large but weak upper-level low and elongated surface trough located about midway between Bermuda and the northern Leeward Islands. Low vertical wind shear conditions in the northeast quadrant of the upper-level low allowed for convection to redevelop and organize along the wave axis.
