Caribbean hurricanes: their climatology and related phenomena.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1979Description: 10p., 4 refsReport number: UNDRO-3236Subject: In hurricane detection great strides have been made to the point that it is now unlikely that a hurricane can move into the Caribbean without the knowledge of the weather forecaster. However, they will be less sure of what it will do once it has been detected. Research at Institutes and Universities is being carried out presently on the steering mechanism of hurricanes; air-sea interaction; seeding of hurricanes. The hurricane might not be destroyed - we would not wish to to be - for in many areas the rains satisfy the water requirements. This most destructive of nature's phenomena can be chained if man is able to forecast its rate of growth, decay, its movement and the onset of related flood and sea action. Work must be done to mitigate their impact now
