We will use and modify the website developed by the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (DAS) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

" Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over the warm tropical oceans and have sustained winds in excess of 64 knots (74 miles/hour). These storms are capable of producing dangerous winds, torrential rains and flooding, all of which may result in tremendous property damage and loss of life in coastal populations. One memorable storm was Hurricane Andrew (pictured above), which was responsible for at least 50 deaths and more than $30 billion in property damage. The purpose of this module is to introduce hurricanes and their associated features, to show where hurricanes develop, and to explain the atmospheric conditions necessary for hurricane development. The Hurricane module has been organized into the following sections:

Sections Last Update: 09/16/99
Definition and Growth Defines a hurricane and shows the regions and mechanics of hurricane development. Stages of Development The different stages of development from depression to hurricane. Structure of a Hurricane Discusses the structure of different parts of hurricanes. Explore a 3-D Hurricane View a hurricane in a 3 dimensional VRML world generated by a computer model. Requires Cosmo Player See disclaimer above Movement The influence of global winds on the movement of hurricanes. Satellites and Hurricane Hunters Discusses the tools and means meteorologists use to observe and track hurricanes. Preparations Includes a list of matters to consider if you are threatened by a hurricane. Damage and Destruction Destructive features associated with hurricanes, plus the Saffir-Simpson Scale for classifying damage potential. Hurricane Tracks Track Atlantic Hurricanes interactively from 1950 to 1998. How They Are Named The different names given to hurricane-like storms in different parts of the world. Global Activity Discusses the regions of the Earth where tropical cyclones can be found. El Niņo See how El Niņo appears to affect hurricane activity.

The navigation menu (left) for this module is called "Hurricanes" and the menu items are arranged in a recommended sequence, beginning with this introduction. In addition, this entire web server is accessible in both "graphics" and "text"-based modes, a feature controlled from the blue "User Interface" menu (located beneath the black navigation menus). More information about the user interface options, the navigation system, or WW2010 in general is accessible from "About This Server."
