Fujiwhara

[edit]

IMO some mention of the Fujiwhara effect relative to Helene should be mentioned. I have no concrete links (was it mentioned in any of the tropical discussions?) but as the track of the storm pulled further and further south of the predictions it seemed pretty clear to me this was a result of a fujiwhara interaction, and furthermore that the NHC models don't account well for such interactions. — jdorje (talk) 21:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Azores

[edit]

|Azore Islands returns only 29,100. But |Azorean Islands returns 76,400. However, "Azores Islands" returns 6 million, and just "Azores" returns nearly 10 million. I say we should change the current name. RaNdOm26 16:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look at it again - "Azorean Islands" - fully in quotes returns 11,600; "Azore Islands" - fully in quotes return 12,400. "Azores Islands" returns 36,000. – Chacor 16:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To Azores....--Nilfanion (talk) 16:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just changed it to Azores, and Azores Islands. RaNdOm26 16:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That works. – Chacor 16:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

10th since 1992?

[edit]

I was under the impression it was the 10th since records had been kept, with the last case of an impact in the Azores being in 1992. Can someone who knows the specifics check this? --Patteroast 12:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gordon was the 10th hurricane to hit the Azores since records began in 1851. Before Gordon, 1992 was the last time it occured [1]. Pobbie Rarr 12:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Hurricane Gordon (2006)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: 12george1 (talk) 03:47, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Hurricane Gordon was the first hurricane to directly impact the Azores since 1992." - Re-word to "the first tropical cyclone", because neither Bonnie or Charley were at hurricane intensity when they impacted the Azores. Meaning that the next most recent hurricane to directly impact the Azores was likely Hurricane Emmy in 1976.
  • "The eighth tropical storm, third hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season," - Add a comma after "third hurricane"
  • "reaching its peak intensity of 120 mph (190 km/h)" - Watch the conversion, the infobox says (195 km/h).
  • "Further north, the storm brought warm air to Ireland and the United Kingdom, contributing to record warm temperatures in the latter country." - So all Gordon did in Ireland and the UK was bring warmer air into those countries?
    • No, but the impact was rather similar to Spain, and I thought record warm temperatures was a neat thing to mention in the lede. Also, you neglect to mention how the subsequent sentence mentions the 120,000 power outages in Northern Ireland. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:56, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "On September 12, the storm slowed down, the storm turned toward the north through a weakness in the subtropical ridge created by Florence." - This sentence doesn't read very well, mostly because "the storm" "the storm". BTW, it seems kinda redundant to use "the storm" more than once in a sentence; you could easily replaced "the storm" with "Gordon".
  • "during which eye decreased in size and the eyewall convection weakened." - Missing the word 'the' between "which" and "eye". Yesterday, I accidentally said to put the word 'the' between "eye" and "decreased".
  • I cannot finished the review now; I will complete it sometime tomorrow.--12george1 (talk) 03:47, 22 May 2011 (UTC) I have finished the review. BTW, I messed up when I wrote one of my issues (the one directly above).[reply]
Part 2
  • Kind of a stupid question, but why is the section header "Storm history" and not "Meteorological history" like all of the other tropical cyclone articles?
  • "it is estimated Gordon intensified into a hurricane early on September 13." - Add the word 'that' between "estimated" and "Gordon".
  • "Gordon's resiliency presented a rare threat – the first since Hurricane Charley in 1992 – to the Azores," - It would actually be Hurricane Bonnie, not Charley. The former affected the Azores a few days after Charley did.
  • "Its motion became just south of due east, causing the strongest winds to remain south of the center." - This doesn't make any sense; because Gordon moved south of due east, its strongest were south of the center? I didn't think that the direction in which a tropical cyclone moves may cause it to become asymmetrical.
  • "The two westernmost islands were placed under a red alert," - What are the two westernmost islands of the Azores?
  • "The club's media center was briefly evacuated," - What Club? I didn't think that the Ryder Cup was a club. Did you mean the cup's media center?
  • On the NHC discussion references, with more than one author, it only shows the last names. Reference #4 says "Mainelli/Beven", but #15 says "Alex Morales and Margot Habiby".
  • There is a minor typo on the accessdates for references 4 and 5. The accessdates read "201-05-03"; while it is just simply a 1 missing, that is a difference of over 1,800 years. Imagine that, a Roman Emperor read those two pages.
  • On reference #12, the author is "Daniel Pasch"; either you meant to put Richard Pasch or Daniel Brown.
Ok, this seems good enough to pass. BTW, the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season is very close to being eligible for Featured Topic. The only thing in your way would be the List of storms in the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Congratulations, --12george1 (talk) 21:58, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
