Let's not call these things Hurricanes please
deep atlantic lows, with strong winds in their circulations they don't look like hurricanes on sat pics they don't have warm cores they have not developed in the tropics |

In the NW Pacific such cyclones are called "typhoons". In the Indian Ocean they are called "cyclones" Hurricane force winds can (and often do) occur in low pressure systems that do not have any tropical characteristics. This does not mean that these low pressure systems are hurricanes. They are not. For a system to be called a hurricane (or typhoon) it must a) be warm-cored and have originated in the tropics or sub-tropics and b) have sustained winds of 64 knots or more If only one of these two requirements is met the system is not a hurricane or typhoon. The terms "hurricane" and "hurricane force" mean quite different things. This may all sound a bit pedantic but on a scientific newsgroup it makes sense to get the science right :-) Norman.

Tuesday night Hurricane?
I did elabourate within the thread that it was hurricane force winds I was
refering to. The header was a bit of an attention grabber I must admit. I've never quite understood why North Atlantic storm systems don't have their own one word term, instead of wordy mouthfulls."extratropical cyclones", "North Atlantic storm" etc. "Lows", "depressions", or "storms" seem rather vague. How about "Bigwind". And a naming system too! I can just hear it: Bigwind bluelightning, the second bigwind of the year, is approaching the shores of the UK. Bigwinds can of course lead to structural damage, trees being uprooted and coastal flooding. Nah? maybe not then. Alex. "BlueLightning" wrote in message ups.com...
