Wonky Winds

This podcast explores the destructive power of tropical cyclones. It details how these storms form, their energy sources, and the factors influencing their intensity and movement. The document highlights the significant asymmetry of tropical cyclones, emphasizing how wind speeds and resultant damage are disproportionately greater on the right side of the storm’s path in the Northern Hemisphere than on the left. This disparity has critical implications for disaster preparedness and response efforts.
