STORM TRACKS The path or tracks generally followed by a cyclonic disturbance. STORM WINDS On the Beaufort Wind Scale, a wind with speeds from 56 to 63 knots (64 to 72 miles per hour).
Storm tracks are the relatively narrow zones in the Atlantic and Pacific along which most Atlantic or Pacific extratropical cyclones travel.
Unusual weather conditions occur around the globe as jet streams, storm tracks and monsoons are shifted. Such disarray is caused by a warm current of water that appears every three to seven years in the eastern Pacific Ocean called El Niño.
Modeling for storm tracks and intensity based on winds and temperatures in several layers of the atmosphere. Variants of this model are the VICBAR MODEL (nested baratropic model) and the LBAR MODEN (Limited-Area Barotropic Model).
He explains the rain as just the way the ''storm tracks'' have moved this year. Reservoirs in Pennsylvania are all at capacity and releases from them into streams were not required this month because of the rains.
