African Dust Storms Stifle Hurricanes, Study Suggests
| Quote From Source: | Westward swirling clouds of dust from the Sahara Desert might be putting a damper on Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, a new study suggests.
Researchers analyzing satellite data from the past 25 years found that during years when the dust storms rose up, fewer hurricanes swept across the Atlantic, while periods of low dust storm activity were followed by more intense hurricane activity. Hurricanes are fueled by heat and moisture, and it's thought the dust storms help muffle the storms before they fully develop.
By doing so, however, the dust storms could shift a hurricane's direction further to the west, the researchers say, increasing the likelihood that it would hit the United States and Caribbean Islands.

Hrmm so next time we have a major hurricane threatening us we can just load planes full of "Saharan Dust" and drop it into the storm and weaken it or kill it!! 
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

It is just the patterns of global circulation causing effects that are cyclic, and this is just one of the quirks in the patterns.
el Nino / la Nina is another, Atlantic and Pacific oscillations, same story, until they look at the causes of the patterns, it will just be confusing BS to them. |
