This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tropical Weather Dynamics, Northward migration to 20-25 degrees north latitude, High-pressure oceanic ridge ("Bermuda High") steers the hurricane East to west, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean are shown in Satellite imagery, Hurricanes have Hurricane track, Dynamics of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast give rise to Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean have Variations in quantity, Tornados can threaten Naval Air Station - Pensacola, Hurricane track is determined by Weakness in an upper-level ridge, Track recurvature can steer the hurricane into Gulf of Mexico, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean e.g., Tropical lows, Local climatological records only go back to Late 19th Century, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean sometimes don't make Landfall on the Gulf Coast, Approaching upper level trough can initiate Track recurvature, Easterly waves from Africa are embedded in Trade Winds, Hurricane track is determined by High-pressure oceanic ridge ("Bermuda High"), Warming in the eastern Atlantic as the hurricane season progresses allows More time for storms to mature and strengthen, Geographical variations cause Northward migration, Easterly waves from Africa are triggered by Cold upper-level low, Tropical Depressions require Sustained deep convection, Sea surface temperatures are Warmer in the western than eastern Atlantic earlier in the hurricane season
