Extreme Hurricane Winds in the United States
Coastal hurricanes create tremendous environmental change and generate huge financial losses. The relative infrequency of severe coastal hurricanes implies that empirical probability estimates of the next big catastrophe will be unreliable. Here we model hurricane activity and resulting insured losses using extreme value theory and Bayesian models. The occurrence of a hurricane above a specifie...
متن کاملSimulating the formation of Hurricane Isabel (2003) with AIRS data
[1] Using the AIRS retrieved temperature and humidity profiles, the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) influence on the formation of Hurricane Isabel (2003) is simulated numerically with the MM5 model. The warmth and dryness of the SAL (the thermodynamic effect) is assimilated by use of the nudging technique, which enables the model thermodynamic state to be relaxed to the profiles of the AIRS retrieved d...
متن کاملMesovortices in Hurricane Isabel
n 12 September 2003, satellite images of Atlantic Hurricane Isabel astounded the tropical cyclone science community as a myriad of elaborate patterns revealed themselves within the clouds in Isabel’s eye. Patterns of convoluted clouds in hurricane eyes have been previously documented (Fletcher et al. 1961; Kossin et al. 2002; Montgomery et al. 2002), but Isabel showed us something new. As the f...
متن کاملModeling Storm Surge and Inundation in Washington, DC, during Hurricane Isabel and the 1936 Potomac River Great Flood
Washington, DC, the capital of the U.S., is located along the Upper Tidal Potomac River, where a reliable operational model is needed for making predictions of storm surge and river-induced flooding. We set up a finite volume model using a semi-implicit, Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme on a base grid (200 m) and a special feature of sub-grids (10 m), sourced with high-resolution LiDAR data and bathy...
متن کاملPelagic Bird Survey on Lake Ontario Following Hurricane Isabel, September 2003: Observations and Remarks on Methodology
The abundance and dispersion of pelagic waterbirds was measured on Lake Ontario during the aftermath of the storm system generated by Hurricane Isabel, September 2003. The purpose of this study was to determine whether standard shipboard methodologies developed for surveying pelagic seabirds from ships on the ocean are applicable on the Laurentian Great Lakes, and if so whether such surveys may...
