Hurricane carlotta 2006
Hurricane Carlotta formed in the eastern Pacific on July 11, 2006, off the Pacific coast of Mexico. The tropical depression gradually gathered power and size as it traveled northwest over the next several days, roughly parallel to, but well away from, the Mexican coast. The tropical depression was upgraded to tropical storm status and given the name Carlotta on July 12, and the storm was upgraded again to hurricane status the morning of the next day. Forecasts as of July 13 predicted that Carlotta would continue to intensify and track west to northwest without making landfall or posing any significant threat to land. The track of the hurricane roughly mimics that of Hurricane Bud nearby, which formed a day earlier and was also tracking west out to sea.
This photo-like image was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite on July 12, 2006, at 2:20 p.m. local time (20:20 UTC). The tropical storm had a developing spiral structure in this image, hinting that its intensity was climbing towards the hurricane status it achieved some 12 hours later. Sustained winds in the storm system were estimated to be around 100 kilometers per hour (55 miles per hour) around the time the image was captured, according to the University of Hawaii’s Tropical Storm Information Center. |

Pazifische Hurrikansaison 2006Die Pazifische Hurrikansaison 2006 begann offiziell am 15. Mai und endete am 30. November. Innerhalb dieser Periode bilden sich die meisten Tropischen Stürme, da nur zu dieser Zeit geeignete Bedingungen, wie etwa ein warmer Ozean, feuchte Luft und wenig Windscherung, existieren, um die Bildung von Tropischen Wirbelstürmen zu ermöglichen. Alle Stürme, die sich nördlich des Äquators und östlich von 180°W bilden gehören zu diesem Becken. Stürme, die sich weiter westlich bilden werden nicht mehr Hurrikane, sondern Taifune genannt. .. weiterlesen
