2017 Record Year at the Hurricane Level, Small Press Review:

I would not make Nieme moralistic speech and flap joy ... just an image that sums up AMHA the situation ...

The curvature of the Earth indicates the immensity of the Hurricane photo ... (I do not know which is ...) below Harvey and Irma side by side ...

Finally this image (NBC TV screenshot) is quite significant of the evolution of the hurricane extent, an 5 2017 hurricane grade has a 4 diameter times greater than an 5 1992 category... or a bigger 16 surface! What will be in 20 years ????

Indeed, the scale of Saffir-Simpson does not take into account the surface of the storms but their meteorological intensity, ie the strength of the winds and the height of the waves (the 2 are linked ...): https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89che ... ir-Simpson

It may be necessary to think about revising the method of calculation ... some have already proposed:

Some scientists, including Kerry Emanuel and Lakshmi Kantha, have criticized this scale for being too simplistic, indicating that the scale does not take into account the physical size of the storm and the rate of precipitation it produces.

Some articles in the French Press want to try to "wake up" people, LePoint made a small synthesis: http://www.lepoint.fr/environnement/irm ... 1_1927.php

Irma: a "warning" in the fight against global warming

For the press this Friday, the power of Hurricane Irma "foreshadows what awaits the planet" if the mobilization is not total among the inhabitants and the leaders.

(...)


Good luck... : Cheesy:

Cyclones such as earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, and armed conflicts obey the laws of statistical mechanics, and more particularly the law in 1 / f, namely that the amplitude of an event is inversely proportional to their frequencies.
And indeed we note that the number of cyclones is less important now than in the 70 years while their powers is increasing ...

Hurricanes, Fewer, but more intense in the future
The intensity of hurricanes, such as Irma, could, in the future, be reinforced by the increase in the temperature of the planet. However, these events should not be more frequent, say the scientists.
20th century: uncertainties
In the absence of global satellite data prior to 1970, it is not possible to say how the cyclonic activity evolved in the twentieth century. Before the implementation of full satellite monitoring, even very intense cyclones could have gone unnoticed if they did not touch the land, for example. Hence the weakness of statistical data and the caution of scientists. In the North Atlantic, for twenty years, an increase in the frequency of cyclones was found but it was the opposite between 1970 and 1995, according to Franck Roux, University Paul Sabatier of Toulouse. In fact, researchers have found that the cyclone activity in this region follows cycles of several decades and believe that it is not yet possible to say whether the increase in the number of cyclones in this sector is natural variability or climate change. In the northwestern Pacific, there was a slight decrease in cyclonic activity between 1980 and 2010.

With an increase in temperatures the cyclones could become even larger, we would then speak of "super-cyclones" (the size of Europe) .... past this stage there would be a rupture via a division of the cyclonic phenomena via phenomena of lower intensity but much more numerous.

Thank you for this additional information...

Other small additional information: As terrifying as they are; Cyclones are the guarantors of marine life and by extension the balance of life in the biosphere.
Indeed, a cyclone is a dissipative structure of energy, in fact its last evacuate in mechanical form the overflow of solar energy contained in the upper strata of the ocean.
It is nothing more than a huge safety valve.
Without the latter, ocean temperatures would rise and cause significant damage to marine life and therefore to the entire planet.
However, it is not necessary to launch a cyclone preservation campaign, even if geoengineering projects (quickly abandoned!) In the 80s aimed to "nip them"!

Totally agree, it is thus a proof that the oceans are warming up (more energy captured, upheaval of the marine currents ..) ... so that the warming exists (and for me, at present , I think that denying climate change, especially when one has political or environmental responsibilities, is as serious as denying the Shoa ... because the millions of dead, they will quickly arrive ...)

The idea was to dissolve the cumulo-nimbus formations via the air-conduction kite drop,Stormfury project.
Some scientists were in favor of the project, but the cost and uncertainty of the result quickly overthrow the project, indeed it would only repel the phenomenon that for once would have been probably more violent ...


The Stormfury program (Stormfury project) was a tropical cyclone cloud seeding experiment with silver iodide to reduce the intensity. The program was funded from 1962 to 1983 by the US government and under the supervision of the Weather Bureau and its successor the National Weather Service.

The last flight was in 1971, when there was a change in the fleet of aircraft operated by NOAA, but the data continued to be analyzed for more than a decade. Despite the failure to influence hurricanes, the Stormfury program has provided in situ observations of cloud physics that has improved knowledge of the life cycle of tropical systems and their prediction.

There is a risk of flooding for 2 nuclear power plants in the USA: http://www.lepoint.fr/monde/irma-deux-c ... 399_24.php

Irma: two nuclear power plants in Florida are preparing for the worst

25 years ago, Hurricane Andrew did a lot of damage. Protected by concrete, the reactors will be stopped because of the risk of flooding.

The St Lucia nuclear power plant north of Miami is located along the Atlantic coast, on a narrow tongue of flat land windswept and easily flooded. Its neighbor, Turkey Point (Turkey Point), is south of Miami, also on the ocean, in a little better protected area. Both have already survived violent storms. But hurricane Irma, which approaches Florida, seems to be of a force rarely equaled, although it has just been downgraded from 5 category to 4. And the last time an 5 - Andrew hurricane hit Florida in 1992, the Turkey Point power station suffered a lot of damage, valued at 90 million dollars.

The reactors were not affected. But an access road was blocked by debris, and so-called wind-proof facilities at 380 km / h did not resist. One of the 120 meters chimneys split in two. The plant had to rely on emergency generators for five days to cool the reactors and avoid the disaster. After the disaster, she closed for six months for work.


Would not it be necessary to recover a Fukushima ... or rather if ... it will awaken perhaps the Ricans vis-à-vis the climatic risk ??

Andrew, it's precisely that of the capture NBC, 16 times extended that Irma ... rolalala ... it's going to be heavy there ...
