Has a North Atlantic hurricane ever crossed over Central America and reformed into a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean?
=== === === ===Subject: E15) What tropical storms and hurricanes have moved from the Atlantic to the Northeast Pacific or vice versa?Contributed by Stephen Caparotta, D. Walston, Steven Young and Gary Padgett Here is a list of tropical cyclones that have crossed from the Atlantic basin to the Northeast Pacific and vice versa. The tropical cyclone must have been of at least tropical storm strength in both basins (i.e. sustained winds of at least 34 kt, or 18 m/s). This record only goes back to 1949. Before the advent of geostationary satellite pictures in the mid-1960s, the number of Northeast Pacific tropical cyclones was undercounted by a factor of 2 or 3. Thus the lack of many of these events during the 1960s and earlier is mainly due to simply missing the Northeast Pacific TCs. There has not been a recorded case where the same tropical cyclone crossed into the Northeast Pacific then crossed back into the Atlantic. * Atlantic Hurricane Cesar (July 1996) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Douglas. * Atlantic Tropical Storm Bret (August 1993) became Hurricane Greg in the Northeast Pacific. * Northeast Pacific Hurricane Cosme became Atlantic Tropical Storm Allison (June 1989). * Atlantic Hurricane Joan (October 1988) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Miriam. * Atlantic Hurricane Greta (September 1978) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Olivia. * Atlantic Hurricane Fifi (September 1974) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Orlene. * Atlantic Hurricane Irene (September 1971) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Olivia. * A Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm (September-October 1949) became an Atlantic Hurricane (Storm #10) and made landfall in TX.

Was hurricane Andrew a density-dependent factor or a density-independent factor?
Hurricane Andrew would be considered a density-independent factor because its impact on a population does not change based on the population size or density. It affects all individuals in the same way regardless of the population's size.
Why do hurricanes start in September?
Hurricane season actually starts in June and some storms have been documented earlier. However, August and September are the most active months for Atlantic hurricanes because that is when the oceans are warmest. Warm ocean water is the most important factor for hurricane formation.
What factor determines whether a storm is considered a tropical depression tropical storm or hurricane?
The determining factor is the sustained wind speed. If the tropical system has sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour, then it is a tropical depression. If sustained winds are in the range of 39 to 73 mph, then it is a tropical storm. If sustained winds are 74 mph or faster, then it is a hurricane.

If sustained winds are in the range of 39 to 73 mph, then it is a tropical storm. If sustained winds are 74 mph or faster, then it is a hurricane.
What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of Earth's atmosphere?
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of Earth's atmosphere is the temperature gradient. As you move away from the Earth's surface, the temperature changes, creating distinct layers characterized by variations in temperature (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere).
What factor determines when a tropical storm becomes a hurricane A Wind speeds B Time of year C Distance from the equator D Type of tide?
wind speed
What is a big factor in coffee production?
the weather is a big factor--from freezes, to drought, to too much rain. For example, Hurricane Georges and Tropical Storm Mitch blew through Central America in 1998, causing widespread damage.
What factor determines when a tropical storm becomes a hurricane?
Tropical storms become hurricanes when sustained wind speeds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). Additionally, warm ocean waters, low wind shear, and high humidity are factors that contribute to the development and strengthening of hurricanes.
Why did tropical storm Fay do damage to Florida when it was a weak tropical storm?
Faw a weak tropical storm; it was a strong tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph; just shy of hurricane strength. A 70 mph wind is perfectly sufficient to cause damage. Even then, intensity is not the only factor. A tropical storm of any strength will produce heavy rain, which can cause flooding.
