? for everyone what causes the counter clockwise rotation of HURRICANE?
Another ? has science ever tried to stop or slow down a ? for everyone what causes the counter clockwise rotation of HURRICANE?hurrican. and finally Is the rotation in the southern Hemisphere the same as the northern? leonard |

Leonard,
The counter clockwise rotation is caused by movement over a rotating body: The so called Coriolis acceleration. On the Northern hemisphere the rotation around a low pressure area (and also a hurricane) is the same as if one looks to the Earth from above the North pole. The same reasoning holds for the Southern hemisphere. This implies that the rotation is clockwise around a low pressure area over there. And: Stopping that would require stopping the rotation of the Earth ... although hurricanes can be damaging ... stopping the rotation would be a lot worse ... :-) (Apart from the fact that we are not able to deliver such a feat.)

In one of my more (less?) lucid mad scientist moments, I came up with a scheme to mount huge rocket motors at the north and south poles, and use them to make the Earth tumble chaotically. I would then make (lays little finger aside lower lip) One ~Million~ Dollars selling motion sickness pills and predictions of when, where, or if the sun would rise in any particular location... Bwuhahaha! Oh... |

If yoy are at the top of either of the two poles,where does the sun
rise? In space,there is no N.S.E.W. East is only what we perceive it to be. =============================== Hub, be reasonable, we don't live on either pole, neither do we find hurricanes at either pole, they are called tropical, because they lurk in tropical waters. If you step one foot away from either pole east is east and west is west. although your traveling in a circle. ================================== So you think that the earths rotation that causes wind currents has no effect on weather.How about solar storms? How about moon phases? ================================== That is not what I am saying, Of course the Sun and the moon cause high tide and low tide, associated with the Earths rotation, Hurricane's rotation has nothing to do with hi tide and low tide, the energy ia hurricanes, results from vapor rising, in the warm water of the tropics. warm moisture is steered by the angle and direction of the sun and its position either north or South of the equator. September is a bad month for hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere because the angle, on the curvature of the earth is lesser on the north side, than when it shines directly down in July and August. when both the north side and the south side are warmed, more equally. March is a bad month for hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere, for the same reasons. God bless lenny |

? for everyone what causes the counter clockwise rotation Hub
It's my understanding that the whiz kids are up all nite trying to reverse the Earth's rotation so the hurricanes will spin around Africa and destroy our enemies. Leonard you need to see your doctor and change your meds. ================================= ************Hub I don't believe the earths rotation, establishes the direction of rotation in a hurricane, as most scientists believe, **********IF it did, the rotation in the north would be the same as rotation in the south. because the southern hemisphere, rotates the same direction as the Northern hemisphere, west to east. ******The sun rises in the east , in Australia, just like it does in the US. ********Yet in Australia hurricanes rotate clockwise and in the North Atlantic and Pacific they rotate counter clockwise? ********What then establishes the direction of rotation in a hurricane, if it is not the earths rotation? ************I have pondered the problem, and believe the angle of the sun, relative to the round shape of the Earth establishes the direction of rotation. *********American's hurricane season, especially in September, when the angle is right, the Sun rises in the East, warms the east side of a tropical depression, causing a high pressure on the east side, as the Sun moves westward, The south side of the hurricane is warmed more than the North side because the angle of the Sun, shines more directly on the South. ********The warm air, on the east side traveling north cools, causing more rain this creates a low pressure. on the east and north side. ********As the Sun moves to the west, the west side of the hurricane, is warmed, creating another high pressure, however before the western high pressure can slow the rotation, the Sun Sets and the high is rapidly cooled. ***********Then a new day is born, and another High pressure is created on the east side, then moving to the south side, increasing the rotation as the warm air cools as it moves away from the Sun creating another low, and dumping moisture. **********In the Southern hemisphere, the angel of the sun creates an opposite rotation, **********Consider it as 2 gears meshed together, They always rotate in opposite directions, a force from the east will cause this reaction whether it is applied in the Northern hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere. ************The force from the east, pushes the east side of the Vortex. toward the polls, to the left in the north and to the Right in the South. ************There have been unsuccessful, efforts to seed hurricanes in an effort to diminish their destructive force, however it is not clear if this was done in the propper way. **********If the seeding was done, at night on the South side of the hurricane, a low pressure might be created. slowing the rotation. ************The rain fall would be neer the same, however the destructive wind, tides, and storm surge would be reduced. if it works. ************A massive effort may be expensive, however, nothing compared to the great property damage, and loss of life we now contend with. ********************Leonard |

*Bob Grumpy
********Because of the humanaterian ramifications, I ask, for you to give this concept carefull consideration. Billions in property loss and thousands of lives can be saved. if we find a way to slow hurricans. ********I understand it is an up hill fight, because, new Ideas are never recieved favorably, especially among those learned on the subject. sometimes it takes fresh People and new Ideas from outside, the norm, to start new debate. **********The concept is not hard to understand. and makes more sence than, the ''corilis force'' theory. * * For new readers, the concept is this. The Sun rises in the East heates the cloweds on the East side of a hurricane, creating a high pressure, the sun sets in th west, alowing clowds on the western side to cool creating a low pressure. ************The high on the eastern side lasts longer because the south side is warmed, as the sun moves to the west.pushing the eastern high to the north, creating a counter clockwise rotation, **********Rain falling on the north side, creates a low, that increases the counter clockwise rotation, by drawing the high on the south and east to the north. ************Once the rotation is established, the Hurricane, feeds itself from warm moisture rising from the ocean. **********In my view the best way to stop a hurricane is to never allow it to form. ********By seeding the clowds on the South side of a tropical depression, a low pressure can be created, neturalizing the posability of rotation because the southern low is equil to the northern low. leonard |

Go back and look at Lou's photo, the side of the hurricane away from
the Sun is almost twice as large on the sunny side. IF the Sun or lack of sun can cause this great difference in size, while the hurricane rotates, it is reasonable to conclude the sun could also cause the rotation. This is visible evidence, Coriolis factor, is never dectable, and will always be theory. Another factor to consider is, the neerness to the equator, where Hurricanes form, they never form on the Equator but rather 10 to 20 degrees above or below the Equator. This is strong evidence, Rotation of the Earth is not the main factor, but rather Sun's position and relative angle to the north and south side of the hurricane, is what causes rotation of the storm. IF Coriolis force was involved, it appears to me, it would be present at the Equator where the water is the warmest. I believe if Coriolis had satellite photos, or any real science, his theory would have been quite different. leonard |

With this line of reasoning, all hurricanes should disappear at night
and reform during the day. Dude, with analysis such as this, WeatherSage needs you on her crack astrometeorology staff!

Hi Your Highness
Hurricanes would disappear at night if the night lasted longer, It takes several hours for a high and low to merge, we can see this in all weather patterns. Unfortunately night lasts only 12 hours, the sun rises, in the East, giving the South and south east side, of a hurricane a new burst of energy. It is this pulsating over a period of several days that gives the Storm it's rotation. It is the great distance between the wet side and the dry side, that prolongs the process, leonard |
