Bye, bye, Delta!
      Sun Nov 27 2005 08:46 AM

I found this interesting article and if it is not off topic I would like to ask a question with it being 3 days from the official end of the Hurricane Season.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/26/AR2005112600355_pf.html

This article refers to the differing opinions on Global warming and weather patterns. Is there any possibility that the intensity of the storms are being measured largely by impact on populated areas and dollars rather than scientific intensity? (No, every storm is categorized by measured or scientifically estimated intensity) We were given Delta's statistics of a 982 mb low. Was that a surface low? (Yes) What level of the atmosphere was this 982mb found? (At the surface - or very close to it) What would its impact have been on a populated area? ( This question really can't be answered, because too many other factors are involved. At its peak, Delta was a very strong tropical storm. How fast was it moving when it hit your hypothetical populated area? Did it dump 3 inches of rain or 30 inches? Was the terrain in this area elevated or flat?)

I asked more than one question but, amid the hype and at the season's end(hopefully) those of us who do not thoroughly understand hurricane and global warming theories would like to know if this storm season is really going to end this year. (Yes, it will end - and probably very soon. Every season does because the ocean cools and the westerlies dip south and eliminate the upper atmospheric conditions that are favorable for development. While it is true that storms have been recorded in every month, they are rare events from December through April.)

(post moved to proper Forum, short answers provided, and some off-topic material removed)
