- Study finds ‘pressure point’ in the Gulf could drive . . .
Researchers identify how the absence of a strong current at a critical location in the Gulf led to unusually high subsurface sea temperatures and influenced the rapid intensification of Hurricane Ian
- Study Finds Pressure Point in Gulf Helps Predict Hurricane . . .
A new study finds a ‘pressure point’ in the Gulf could cause hurricanes to rapidly intensify
- Study finds ’pressure point’ in the Gulf could drive . . .
In the Gulf, rapid intensification typically occurs over deep waters that can store abundant heat energy But Hurricane Ian was different As the storm neared landfall, it intensified over the shallow West Florida Shelf, which is normally kept cooler thanks to ocean currents
- Scientists Uncover the Silent Force That Fueled Florida’s . . .
There, it reaches what scientists call a “pressure point,” a critical zone where the shallow seafloor contours converge and force cooler, deeper waters upward—a process called upwelling
- How Gulf’s ‘Pressure Point’ Shapes Hurricane Strength and . . .
A hurricane’s fuel is the ocean’s heat energy—but not all ocean heat is equal Researchers from the University of South Florida have pinpointed a region near the Dry Tortugas where the Gulf’s Loop Current can reach a “pressure point,” triggering cold water upwelling that cools the coastal shelf
