關於產品
Product Information
Called the greatest storms on the planet, hurricanes of the North Atlantic Ocean often cause tremendous social and economic upheaval in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. And with the increasing development of coastal areas, the impact of these storms is likely to increase. This book provides a comprehensive analysis if North Atlantic hurricanes and what they mean to society. It is intended as an intermediary between hurricane climate research and the users of hurricane information. Topics include the climatology of tropical cyclones in general and those of the North Atlantic in particular; the major North Atlantic hurricanes, focusing on US landfalling storms; the prediction models used in forecasting; and societal vulnerability to hurricanes, including ideas for modeling the relationship between climatological data and analysis in the social and economic sciences.

Reviews
"Hurricanes rival major earthquakes as the worst of natural disasters interms of loss of life and property damage. Thus they are of considerableinterest to many scientists and decision-makers, especially those involved inurban planning, disaster relief, and insurance. James Elsner and A. Birol Karahave written an account for such readers that emphasizes physical models toexplain the relation of hurricane activity to meteorological and oceanographicevents. . . . Elsner and Kara offer the most complete account and discussion ofAtlantic hurricanes that I have encountered. Using newly researched 1900 data,they extend many of their analyses back to the year 1851. . . . Hurricanes ofthe North Atlantic is a suitable reference in applied climate science. I wouldcertainly recommend it to those looking for up-to-date insight into the natureof Atlantic hurricane activity."--Science, "Elsner (Florida State Univ.) and Kara (NASA) offer an excellent review of past tropical storms. Every conceivable presentation--lists, figures, tables, and maps--shows how they have affected each coastal country from Texas to Maine as well as Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Bermuda. The climatologydata include frequency, duration, origins, tracks, and dissipation points. Cycles and trends are documented and compared to solar activity and volcanic activity. The history and current methods of prediction for both short-term tracks and future season activity are included. Differences betweentropical-only and baroclinically-enhanced hurricanes are noted. Chapters are devoted to risks such as death, injury, and property damage. . . . Safety tips are provided, as well as discussion regarding catastrophe insurance. Recommended for lower-division undergraduates and the general public,especially those living along the coasts and those thinking about moving there."--Choice, "Hurricanes rival major earthquakes as the worst of natural disasters in terms of loss of life and property damage.
