Die Atlantische Hurrikansaison 1950 begann offiziell am 15. Juni 1950 und endete am 12. November 1950. Es war die erste Saison in der den tropischen Zyklonen Namen zugewiesen wurde. Die 1950er Saison war mit 16 Tropenstürmen, von denen sich alle außer fünf zu Hurrikans entwickelten, eine sehr aktive Saison.[1] Insgesamt acht der Wirbelstürme wurden als schwere Hurrikane (Kategorie 3 und höher) eingestuft, bevor eine moderne Reanalyse der National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) nur sechs als wirklich schwere Hurrikane einstuft.

Überblick

Vom Beginn der Saison am 15. Juni bis Anfang August blieb der tropische Atlantik auch im Vergleich zu anderen Saisonen bemerkenswert ruhig, wie das U.S. Wetterbüro feststellte[1]. Dies änderte sich am 12. August, als sich der erste tropische Sturm der Saison östlicher der Kleinen Antillen bildete. Der Sturm wurde Hurrikan „Able“ getauft und wuchs sich in den folgenden Tagen zu einem Hurrikan der Stufe 3 aus. In den folgenden vier Wochen entstanden weitere fünf tropische Stürme, die sich zu Hurrikanen der Kategorie 2 oder höher auswuchsen. Der Stärkste war Hurrikan „Dog“, der die Kategorie 4 und Windgeschwindigkeiten bis zu 230 km/h erreichte.

Nach Hurrikan „Fox“ eine rund zwei Wochen dauernde ruhigere Phase, in der sich keine tropischen Stürme entwickelten. Erst mit Hurrikan George, der sich vom 27. September an bildete, wurde der Atlantik wieder aktiver. Insgesamt bildeten sich im Oktober acht weitere Stürme, von denen vier Hurrikanstärke erreichten, sich jedoch nur noch zwei davon zu schweren Hurrikans entwickeln konnten. Mit dem Tropischer Sturm „Sechzehn“, der sich am 12. November auflöste, endete die Hurrikansaison.

Die Tropischen Stürme Mike, Fünfzehn und Sechzehn wurden erst bei einer modernen Reanalyse entdeckt. Außerdem stellte die spätere Untersuchung der Forscher fest, dass mehrere Stürme in der Saison 1950 schwächer waren als gedacht, was zu einem niedrigeren ACE führte, als ursprünglich bewertet.

HurricaneWilma20Oct2005.jpg

Hurricane Wilma was a powerful Category 5 storm when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite took this image at 12:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on October 19, 2005. Less than 24 hours before this image was taken, Wilma had rapidly grown into a record-breaking, powerful storm. Winds around the eyewall of the storm were raging at 280 kilometers per hour (175 miles per hour). Just hours before, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) aircraft measured a record-low air pressure of 882 millibars in the center of Hurricane Wilma, making it the most intense hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic basin. Wilma also broke records for the fastest development of a storm, going from tropical storm status to Category 5 hurricane in less than 24 hours.
