      There are scientists back in the 70s warning about a bunch of climate related irregularities cause of fossil fuel. Hurricanes and clouds (extreme weather patterns) were one of it since heat is the main component. The only thing they got wrong is the timeline. We are there way sooner than expected.

    Buoyancy is the key reason why jupiter's Great Red Spot is anticyclonic. On Earth cyclones are formed when gases rise up and are met with rotational spin. On Jupiter cyclones are formed when gases sink back down to the planet's metallic surface. Gases rise from the super heated core, and as they cool they sink back down. That combined with rotational motion forms the characteristic vortices.

      normal storms don't have the energy to make it over the Great Dividing Range with enough rain left to get water to them, plus unlike most of the world including america we have super strict building standards and a huge budget in lowering damage caused by TCs, most buildings, including my own home, are now rated to Category 4 with Category 5's being the only one we haven't built for yet but many universities get massive grants on researching that.

    For the answer in the challenging question the answer is this : The G.R.S(Great Red Spot) is an anticyclone because a cylcone has low atmospheric pressure but the anti cyclone has high atmospheric pressure.Its high pressure because of jupiters temperature, jupiters temparature is -145Degrees(-261 F) at your video you said at the carnoa engine if "if pressure is high heat is low"(not exactly u said) so all that in short means the G.R.S(Great Red Spot) is an anticyclone

    correction ... typhoons hold the torch if any storms do ... the strongest storm on record with the lowest pressure is still Super Typhoon Tip back in 1979. then one of the most potent typhoons also was Super Typhoon haiyan (also called super typhoon yolanda in phillipines) back in 2013. also asias' "hurricane season" typhoon season often see 2x more storms than the US season. the atlantic average is 10.1 storms per year ... the western pacific avg 26 typhoons a year. another fun fact : a hurricane low pressure at the surface spins counter-clockwise and the outflow at the top of the storm spins clockwise. thats why you see the main storm spinning counter clockwise but you still see some clouds moving in an unnatural looking way clockwise

    Answer: Oval BA (A.K.A Jupiter's Storm) Is Actually really interesting. The anticyclone is created by upward flowing gasses from within the planet's core. Hot gasses from within the planet rise to the surface and spread out horizontally, but when they cool they create vortices in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation. Unlike earth, Jupiter's storms are the result of diverging gasses cooling and sinking. Where as earth's storms are created by warm air converging and rising.

      Haven't been in a hurricane, but if the eye will pass over you, before him, the wind will be in one direction, after the pass will be in the contrary.... the most advanced indigeneous cultures had pretty sensible observers (scientists?), they have pretty good knowlegde of the stars; for me it isn't impressive they notice that!

      People noticed that as a hurricane traveled through mainland, fallen trees would point in the direction the wind had pushed them. Hurricanes that traveled to the north through land were easiest to identify. Fallen trees to the West of a hurricane's strongest winds always pointed South. Fallen trees to the East always pointed North. Fallen trees within the path of the strongest winds immediately to its West pointed West because the left side of the hurricane was more impactful there and immediately did more damage, whereas trees immediately to the East pointed East, as the backside of the hurricane packed more of a punch on this side.
      It looked something like this. Imagine that a hurricane has traveled North through the land and you notice, after looking at the damage, this pattern of fallen trees:
      T = Standing Tree
      v = Fallen, Pointing South
      > = Fallen, Pointing East
      < = Fallen, Pointing West
      ^ = Fallen, Pointing North
      / = Fallen, Pointing Southwest
      \ = Fallen, Pointing Northwest
      Hurricane's Path Northward

      They noticed that the trees could only fall in this consistent pattern if a large, swirling eddy of wind passed through, rather than a straight line wind. More immediately, though, those who experienced the center of a hurricane noticed that the winds would blow from one direction, stop as the eye passed over, and then come just as fiercely from the opposite direction. They deduced that the eye was the center of a tempest and that the storm system in the strongest part of the hurricane orbited it. Fascinating how they were able to figure that out without satellites to aid them. Very smart and observant cultures, indeed.

  • @tay012

    Jupiter doesn't rotate uniformly across the surface due to it not being solid, this causes the storm to rotate in a counter clockwise rotation.

    Hurricane Patricia is the strongest that I know of. Patricia hit an avg wind speed of 215mph for a few hours. Luckily for the Mexican west coast, Patricia fell apart before making landfall.
    Why does this happen? The winds get so strong that it turns up the water deep below the storm. This lifts cooler water into the the storm, which weakens the storm. This is what happened to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
    Anyway, he's very very close to all parts.

    what about autonomous planes that ambiguously fly into hurricanes to charge an on board battery and crashes into the ocean to be recovered with a full charge? They could accelerate hurricanes in the opposite direction, lessening their devastation while providing naturally occurring energy. Send a fleet of ten million or so and prevent a Katrina type disaster altogether, while providing energy for Somalia, Argentina, Sudan, etc...

    Why does Jupiter's Red spot spin the wrong way? Without googling it, my guess is that the apparent rotation of Jupiter might be more analogous to the directions of Earth's winds than Earth's surface; assuming Earth's air rotation is the opposite direction to the rotation of the Earth's surface due to inertia making the air more prone to stay where it was. So while Jupiter may appear to be rotating in the same direction as Earth, the fact its (gaseous) surface is spinning in the opposite direction to earth's airflow is more important to this question.

    Jupiter's red spot spins counterclockwise because it's an anticyclonic storm. Since this these storms flow about high pressure regions it will spin in a counterclockwise matter.😊

      By The Way Hurricane Sandy never made landfall in the states as tropical status... it had already started extratropical transition due to merging with a nor'ester, however it was a tropical cyclone when it made landfall in Cuba and various other Caribbean locations.

    • @Athenas_Realm_System
      @Athenas_Realm_System 8 лет назад

      There are also multiple Scales in which can be applied to a tropical cyclone, Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS) is the most commonly used, even used as part of the category rating in all of the north pacific (though along side category ratings of the SSHWS, certain Typhoons are called Super Typhoons when they reach certain wind speeds) while here in Australia we use the Australia Tropical Cyclone Scale (ATCS) which doesn't have Tropical Storms but skips right to Category 1 after Tropical Low, but once a TC reaches Category 3 (which is first hurricane intensity) we call the Severe Tropical Cyclones (Cat 3-5 is equiv to cat 1-5 SSHWS) and south indian ocean TC warning centre in Madagascar uses their own scale, and the Indian Met uses there own for north indian ocean tropical Cyclone basin.
      Medicanes in the Mediterranean aren't true tropical cyclones, however due to them being also warm core, as well as traditional traits associated with extratropical cyclones like nor'esters, and European windstorms they are called subtropical cyclones or Hybrid Cyclones if Australian met was used as they get energy from both methods a TC would but also through baroclinical thermogradients. The South Atlantic Ocean isn't technically a TC basin but at this time is partly under the US Nat Hurricane centre jurisdiction however it is conceivable within a couple years the Tropical Lows will get their own unique Basin Identifier letter and a TCWC will be located probably in Brazil for the TCs and SubTCs that form in that basin.

    I would guess Jupiter's Great Red Spot rotates counter-clockwise, despite being in the southern hemisphere and Jupiter rotating west-east, is more due to the two powerful atmospheric streams in moving in opposite directions at the Spot's latitude.
