The 2006 hurricane season was near normal
Spaceflight Now – Jan 22, 2007
NASA scientists have learned several reasons why. Although hurricane cycles still remain somewhat of a mystery that scientists are trying to solve the general ingredients of what causes a hurricane to form are relatively well known. You need the winds to behave correctly sea surface temperatures of at least 82 degrees Fahrenheit and no interference from African dust among other things. The Atlantic hurricane season ended on Nov. 30 and wound up having near-normal activity with nine named storms including five hurricanes two of which became major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. An average Atlantic season has 11 named storms with six growing into hurricanes and two becoming major hurricanes… by steering them northward into the cooler waters of the Central Atlantic cean instead of into the warmer waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico as it did to storms in 2004 and 2005. While dust activity from Africa was somewhat greater than in 2005 it probably played a much smaller role than these other factors. Cooler Sea Surface Temperatures in 2006Scott Braun hurricane specialist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt Md. noted that the sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic cean were much closer to normal this year and considerably cooler than last year. “Sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic were unusually warm in 2005″ Braun said. “Sea-surface temperature data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite showed that ocean temperatures were up to two degrees warmer in 2005. TRMM observed surface winds were persistently strong over the tropical Atlantic in 2006 while in 2005 they were somewhat weaker and more variable.

But we will continue to work toward a long-term solution” NLIHC President Sheila Crowley said. “There was nothing standard about Hurricane Katrina. The extent of damage the numbers of people who were and remain displaced and slow pace of recovery are all extraordinary. Until low income people who lost their homes have new homes to go home to they must be able to rely on the temporary housing assistance from the federal government. ”As part of the “Day of Action” housing and poverty advocates displaced residents local officials and others will hold events today and this week throughout the Gulf Coast. Actions are planned in New rleans; Austin Dallas and Houston Texas; Biloxi and Jackson Miss.
