Mortality from Hurricane Andrew.
Hurricane Andrew, a category 4 storm, made landfall in South Florida on August 24, 1992, and caused extensive structural and environmental damage. The Dade County Medical Examiner Department investigated 15 deaths directly related to the storm and another 15 natural deaths indirectly related to the storm. The aftermath of the hurricane continued to create circumstances that lead to 32 accidenta...
متن کاملHurricane Eyewall Evolution in a Forced Shallow-Water Model
A forced shallow-water model is used to understand the role of diabatic and frictional effects in the generation, maintenance, and breakdown of the hurricane eyewall potential vorticity (PV) ring. Diabatic heating is parameterized as an annular mass sink of variable width and magnitude, and the nonlinear evolution of tropical storm–like vortices is examined under this forcing. Diabatic heating ...
متن کاملSurface-to-subsurface velocity projection for shallow water currents
Sea surface currents in coastal oceans are accessible to continuous direct observations by shore-based high-frequency Doppler radar systems. Inferring current structure in shallow water from such surface current observations is attempted. The approach assumes frictionally dominated flow and vertically varying current velocity on the scale of the Ekman boundary layer. The approximation of the ve...
متن کاملWeathering the storm: children's long-term recall of Hurricane Andrew.
Children who experienced a highly stressful natural disaster, Hurricane Andrew, were interviewed within a few months of the event, when they were 3-4 years old, and again 6 years later, when they were 9-10 years old. Children were grouped into low, moderate, or high stress groups depending on the severity of the experienced storm. All children were able to recall this event in vivid detail 6 ye...
متن کاملSurface Winds at Landfall of Hurricane Andrew (1992)—A Reply
We appreciate this opportunity to (i) clarify the simulation of surface winds at landfall of Hurricane Andrew (1992) as reported in Liu et al. (1997, hereafter referred to as LZY); (ii) make more detailed comparisons with one of the most sophisticated surface analyses of a landfallen hurricane by Powell and Houston (1996, hereafter referred to as PH96); and (iii) present the simulated winds at ...
