User blog:Leeboy100/Hurricane Vocabulary.

This is an idea I got to make a guide of hurricane vocabulary for anyone on this wiki who might be new at tracking storms.

I will start out with one of my favorite types of cyclones.

Annular Cyclone (or hurricane, or typhoon. Whatever you want to call it :D)
An annular cyclone is a somewhat rare phenomenon in tropical cyclones. They usually have: A large eye, compact wind field, very few rainbands, and can get very intense. Annular storms are often said to resemble doughnuts. Quite a few category 5 hurricanes and typhoons have been annular. Annular storms can also maintain strength longer than regular storms.

A few examples of annular cyclones:

Typhoon Nestor (1997) Hurricane Isabel (2003)

Hurricane Katrina (2005)

Hurricane Iselle (2014)

Typhoon Amber (1997)

Typhoon Jelewat (2000)

Hurricane Adrian (2011)

and finally, two different hurricanes named 'Dora' were annular

Dora (1999)

&

Dora (2011)
