2005 Hurricanes Montage

#1 Postby wxman57 » Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:44 am

I e-mailed Chris Velden at the Univ. of WIsconsin yesterday asking if he was planning to put together a composite image of all the big hurricanes of 2005. He replied immediately and put something together. Here it is! Look how small Dennis was compared to Katrina and Rita. That's one reason Rita and Katrina had a much larger surge - a much larger area of hurricane force winds or greater.

Very close for comfort! A great image depicting our incredible 2005 Hurricane SEASON. I would like see one showing all the major hurricanes of the season.

Wow, Dennis and Emily were tiny. Emily looked very well-defined though.

Dennis was not a small storm. It had hurricane force winds out 40 miles and tropical storm force winds out 230 miles from the center. As it brushed the east Gulf of Mexico coast, effects were felt all over florida.

The amount of hurricane force winds was pretty average, but it was still a large storm.

Dennis, approx. 9pm on Saturday while it brushed the florida west coast

Pretty cool but you showed Katrina and wilma at their max and dennis and rita when they were weakening and emily before its max. In other words, they should be shown when they were all at their max intensity.

They can't show all of them at their max intensity because Katrina, Rita, and Dennis pretty much maxed at the same area, and Emily and Wilma maxed in the same area as well. You can't make a montage with that.

I thought Wilma was larger and stronger than Katrina :roll:

Wilma:

lowest pressure in the history of the Atlantic Basin:
peak winds: 175mph
gusts over 200mph

that beats Katrina :eek:

You would think that with such a low pressure and small eye Wilma would have had higher winds, I expected sustained winds to be around 190MPH.

See if you can fit in Wilma at her pinhole minimum, and maybe Dennis and Emily's secondary peaks too...just for fun, lol. Beta needs to be added too.

you can see in the pic that Katrina had a dome over her eye. Wilma in the pic has a much clearer eye.

what were Katrinas and Wilmas maximum eye diameter?? can someone dig up the recon reports?

in the pic, they both look similar in terms of eye size
