I need help from a physicist about hurricanes.
The present thinking about the steering rotation of hurricanes, was worked out by a French physicist ,Coriolis in the 19th centaury. I find Coriolis to be in error for several reasons, and would like the opinion, of others, I believe I understand, Coriolis's thinking and why, he believed the Coriolis force, steered hurricanes in a circular rotation. Clock wise in the Southern hemisphere and counter clock wise in the northern hemisphere. At the equator the earth spins at about 1000 MPH. At 20 degrees NL, It spins some what slower, because of the smaller circle at 20 degrees NL. the slower speed, at 20 degrees NL, means less inertia force than you will find at 10 degrees NL. This difference in inertia speed, forces the faster inertia, to slow as the two forces merge, this creates a curve, resulting in a counter clockwise rotation. The problem with Corolis's assumption, is '' every thing that goes around comes around'' this means clouds moving from 20 degrees NL to 10 degrees NL on the west side of the storm, work against the faster moving inertia, as the 2 forces merge. The result would be, both forces would become neutral. with one pushing against the other. This is especially true because, earth's rotation is constant, and never varies. It is estimated, the Sun's energy striking the earth, in one minute is equal to the burning of 100 million tons of coal. With this kind of energy available, to warm the water and the hurricane, it is reasonable to conclude the Sun, could also cause the storm to rotate. Rising in the east and setting in the west every 12 hours, would allow the sun to heat clouds, and allow them to cool over night, Like a steem engine heating causes expansion and cooling causes, contraction If this heating and contracting occurred, in the right sequel rotation should be posable There is a great deal of evidence, suggesting the sun is the source of energy causing rotation. For one thing September is the month for hurricanes in the northern hemisphere, and April is the month for hurricanes n the Southern Hemisphere, During these two months the Sun passes directly over the equator, as it moves from winter and summer, and summer to winter. During these months the water is warm, however there may be another factor that makes these months, the height of Hurricane season. In September and April, the Sun is at an angel, with more Sunshine striking the equator side of the hurricane more than the North and South side, this allows the outer sides to cool as the storm spins, this difference creates a low pressure side and a high pressure side. The great distance between the hi side and low side, works like check valves, as the Sun rises and falls increasing the spin |
