Introduction
This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) web site attempts to address
various questions regarding hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones
that have been posed to us as hurricane researchers over the years.
While it is not intended to be a technical guide, references are given
throughout the FAQ for those that would like additional, detailed
information. Also, there is no guarantee that all that is in here is
completely accurate (we're human!). If you do see an item that needs
correction, or if you have any additional questions that you think
should be added to this FAQ, please contact us directly.
Hopefully, this FAQ site can help answer some of the questions that
you may have about the characteristics of these catastrophic storms,
how they are monitored and forecasted, and what are some of research
topics that are being addressed today.
