Hurricane can form new eyewall and change intensity rapidly

Data collected in 2005 from Hurricane Rita is providing the first documented evidence that rapid intensity changes can be caused by clouds outside the wall of a hurricane's eye coming together to form a new eyewall.

1. A change in the wind
   04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification. Historically, increased wind shear has been associated with reduced hurricane activity and intensity. This new finding is reported in a study in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters.

4. Storm Norms: Caribbean corals and sediments yield clues to hurricane frequency
   06-09-2007 · Science News Online
   The recent increase in hurricane activity in the North Atlantic, a phenomenon that some scientists blame on climate change, actually reflects a return to normal after a lull in the 1970s and 1980s.

5. Under pressure, vanadium won't turn down the volume
   02-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory have discovered a new type of phase transition -- a change from one form to another -- in vanadium, a metal that is commonly added to steel to make it harder and more durable. Under extremely high pressures, pure vanadium crystals change their shape but do not take up less space as a result, unlike most other elements that undergo phase transitions.

6. Frequency of Atlantic hurricanes doubled over last century, climate change suspected
   07-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   About twice as many Atlantic hurricanes form each year on average than a century ago, according to a new statistical analysis. The study concludes that warmer sea surface temperatures and altered wind patterns associated with global climate change are fueling much of the increase.

10. RAND study says Army should tailor some National Guard units for disaster work
    06-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
    The US Army should change the way it plans for domestic emergencies -- both natural disasters and terrorist attacks -- to better support state and local first responders, according to a RAND Corporation report issued today.Studying lessons offered by the response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, RAND researchers recommend the Army create 10 regional task forces in the National Guard to focus on preparing for and responding quickly to future domestic emergencies.
