Hurricane Laura (#12) reached peak intensity on 26 August with a Category 4 classification after traversing the long-axis of Cuba into the Gulf of Mexico. increased surface roughness slowing winds c. (Examine the inset map of Figure 1 in the lower left-hand comer for a better perspective of the number of storms passing through the state of Louisiana this season.) a. From the color coding of storm intensities on Figure 1 of Major Hurricanes Laura (#12) and Delta (#25) upon making landfall, the weakening of the storms' energy would likely have been due to. This energy is released into the atmosphere through condensation in thunderstorms and distributed by the persistent, organized wind circulation of a storm 3. did not The energy for tropical cyclones is primarily delivered to the atmosphere by the water vapor evaporated from warm ocean surfaces. The storms' tracks imply these cyclones transport energy and moisture to higher latitudes. They originated as tropical systems over warm waters around 15°N, eventually attained hurricane strength, then later weakened and dissipated beyond 35°N latitude. For example, examine the path of Major Hurricane Teddy (#19) and Hurricane Isaias (#9). In the global weather system, hurricanes and tropical cyclones transport heat and moisture from tropical oceans to higher latitudes. Storms that form in, or travel to the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico are to impact land. Storms that do not curve until passing about 75°W will likely impact land before turning northward. Typically, the majority of Atlantic tropical systems travel westward at lower latitudes and then curve to the north and northeast upon reaching the belt of the prevailing westerly winds. Black circles represent the center of the storm at OOZ and white circles the location at 127. Storm strengths are color-coded according to the scale to the lower right.

The names of the storms, corresponding to the numbers along with strength and dates of existence, are in a table to the upper left. The track of each named storm is shown numbered at the beginning and end of its track. List E is a standby list when a cyclones name is retired from lists A, B, C and D, the name from List E is used to replace the retired name.Figure 1 is the preliminary track map of Atlantic basin tropical cyclones for the 2020 season from the National Hurricane Center (NHC). RSMC Nadi is solely responsible to name Tropical Cyclones that occur within Vanuatu’s Area. Tropical Cyclone Names – South West Pacific Ocean This is a very effective and simple tool for locals in aiding their understanding on the impact and the position, particularly those in rural areas. VMGD also provides an impact based mapping tool the "Vanuatu Tropical Cyclone Tracking Map" so that individuals can follow the position of the tropical cyclone using the information VMGD provides, using letters and numbers substituting longitude and latitude respectively. VMGD gives information on a tropical depression or tropical cyclone in three phases, namely Information, Advisory and Warning. As Vanuatu is frequently visited by tropical cyclones every cyclone season, the VMGD has in place a very effective Warning System to enure that the risk of losing life and property is minimal.
