Theory of Hurricanes

Are the various papers written by Kerry Emanuel, et al, in the 1980s still
the definitive works on hurricane physics? I'm looking for a treatment of
the physics of hurricanes that discusses the fluid dynamics and overall
structure of hurricanes at a reasonably advanced level. Any suggestions?

I certainly think that it's a good idea to find out whether there are
any reasonably advanced treatment of the physics of hurricanes
including overall structure and fluid dynamics, and I'll try to look
into it. The only thing that seems to stand out right now is that
hurricanes are especially fond of New Orleans, Louisiana. Some
politically obsessed people have claimed that this is the USA's "reward
from Allah", but New Orleans and Orleans County in which it is located
voted 77% for Kerry in 2004 and 22% for Bush, so by that reasoning
Allah is rewarding Bush.

Turbulence, Coherent structures, Dynamical systems and chaos
by Holmes, Lumley and Berkooz
Cambridge University Press, 1996


Has been reccommended to me. It might be interesting for you to take a
look at the thread which I introduced.

Prevention and control of Hurricanes.

On reflection there is one thing I should have added to my replies to
the Dutch research student and that is that theoretically eigenvalues
and eigenvectors represents a more accurate model when the departure
from equilibrium is small.

Perhaps it's the Brüning Churchill effect? Seriously, why did you introduce
politics and religion into this discussion? My original request for
information was purely within the realm of physics.

I'm 66. Your reply reads like 15. If that's politics and religion,
you'll just have to lump it. The Chinese and Japanese and to some
extent Koreans do rather well respecting their elders and for that
matter their teachers and professors and researchers. If you think
that you can respect knowledge without respecting older people, you
have a lot of learning ahead of you.

Google groups allows usenet writers to research previous writings by any
poster. Perhaps that will help answer your question.

So what do you think of Feynman's treatment of thunderstorms in Vol 2?

No. That really offers no hint as to why someone would respond to a
completely secular, apolitical, request for information by discussing
Yahveh and and the recent voting history of New Orleans.
