and it tends to promote the formation and intensification of Atlantic hurricanes by reducing vertical wind shear across the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Ocean. Wind shear can tear apart ...

News technology has been deployed for some time now to help tackle natural disasters, but it can't fight climate change ...

Gallus said tornadoes also need a vertical wind shear to form, which is a change in wind speed or direction. “That allows air to have a rolling motion, like what happens if you put a pencil in ...

The bulk environmental vertical wind shear between 850 and 200 hPa. The potential intensity of a TC is a theoretical upper bound on the maximum wind speed considering the local thermodynamic profile ...

Raquel threatened to reform over the following days, but failed to do so, mainly due to the presence of strong vertical wind shear. The system moved across the Solomon Islands as a tropical low ...

La Niña can also result in more severe hurricane seasons in the Atlantic Ocean by expanding the area of low vertical wind shear, which increases the number of hurricanes that develop and allows ...

Pulse storms tend to form where there is weak vertical wind shear – that is, the direction and strength of the wind does not change much with height above the ground. When the conditions are right for ...
