  • The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season had a record-breaking 30 storms, 13 of which became hurricanes. It was the most active hurricane season on record.
    This time-lapse animation from the beginning of May to the end of November shows 1000 hPa (roughly 100m/320ft) winds over the North Atlantic. The data come from the National Weather Service's GFS numerical weather model (www.emc.ncep.n.... Blue colors represent slower winds. Greens and yellows are faster winds. Streamlines show the direction of the wind in each frame of the animation.
    The peak of the season was in September (0:40 to 0:51), especially mid-month.

    Awesome, thank you. This helps understand complex weather patterns and how they change with seasons. Please do more of these videos. Also please do one with temperature at 700 hPa so we can see how the jet stream moves during the year and how cut-off lows detach from the general circulation.

    0:45 these hurricane like pattern at the arctic are so interesting, can someone explain to me why they still retaining a hurricane- like pattern? I only know hurricane requires warm waters, so I’m wondering why they still retain the pattern of hurricane after reaching the cooler waters near Greenland and the arctic

    • @Stal_IsAGoodSong2
      @Stal_IsAGoodSong2 Місяць тому

      Those are mid-latitude cyclones, which get their energy from fronts and the jet stream above and not warm ocean waters. Hurricanes can transition into mid-latitude cyclones once they reach a high enough latitude and interact with the jet stream.

    Seems like Europe gets them quite a bit as well throughout the season. Why do they not call them hurricanes in Europe?

    • @MissileGuidance
      @MissileGuidance Місяць тому +5

      Not classed as a hurricane unless being fed by water that is at least 26°c. Instead they may be known as extratropical cyclones, usually now dissipating slowly

    • @johnnamkeh1290
      @johnnamkeh1290 Місяць тому +4

      The European cyclone track never gets storms as powerful as tropical hurricanes. Category 1 hurricane is the most powerful they get but even that is rare.
      There are medicanes in the Mediterranean though every now and then.

    • @TaserFish-qn2xy
      @TaserFish-qn2xy Місяць тому +3

      Their structure is quite different. Tropical Cyclones like hurricanes are warm all around and rain all around.
      Extratropical cyclones like the storms that hit Europe have a different structure.
      They usually have a cold front and a warm front. In a lot of the windy places, it isn't even raining and it can be quite cold.
      Plus, as people have pointed out, wind speeds never reach the extremes of a tropical cyclone.

    It amazing how there are planets like Mercury or the Moon where there's very little activity, nothing much is going on and it's like their entire world is on pause then on the other hand, planets like Earth have a lot of activity going on. From the atmosphere, to the oceans and the biosphere.
