This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tropical Weather Dynamics, Northward migration of Subsidence, Approaching upper level trough can initiate Track recurvature, Hurricane track is determined by Weakness in an upper-level ridge, Seasonal variations i.e., Hurricane season, Thunderstorms can threaten Naval Air Station - Pensacola, Storms originating in the Gulf generally weaker than Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean, Storms originating in the Gulf almost always make Landfall on the Gulf Coast, Landfall on the Gulf Coast can be followed by Thunderstorms, High-pressure oceanic ridge ("Bermuda High") steers the hurricane East to west, Easterly waves from Africa are triggered by Cold upper-level low, Geographical variations are due to different Ocean basins (Atlantic and Carribean), Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean have Variations in quantity, Warming in the eastern Atlantic as the hurricane season progresses leads to Formation of systems further west in the Atlantic, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean sometimes don't make Landfall on the Gulf Coast, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean are shown in Satellite imagery, Tornados can threaten Naval Air Station - Pensacola, Storms originating in the Atlantic and Carribean e.g., Hurricanes, Landfall on the Gulf Coast can be followed by Tornados, June through November is the time of Warmest Atlantic surface temperatures (79 degrees or greater) spanning the largest area, Easterly waves from Africa have maximum frequency in June through November
