La Nina Impact on 2007 Hurricane Season & Research Plan on Hurricanes
Hello to all….
A couple of interesting articles are up on NOAA’s main web site that are of interest to those understanding the science and meteorology of hurricanes.
The first link concerns the potential for La Nina conditions to return in the Pacific. One of the key mitigating factors in reducing the number of tropical systems and hurricanes last year was the presence of moderate El Nino conditions. This year appears to be different. The link to the article is listed below:

It will be interesting to see what impact, if any, this news will have on the next Dr. Gray Hurricane Outlook to be issued on Tuesday April 3rd and the NOAA outlook typically issued later in April or May. At this time, the current Dr. Gray outlook calls for an above normal hurricane season in part because of El Nino conditions dissipating.
The second link has to do with a new federal research plan on tropical systems and hurricanes. The link to the article is listed below:

Hope this information is of interest to people on the email list. Thanks for your continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
