Question

Your school is visting a local bureau of the national weather service. a student asks a meteorologist why hurricans do not form in the northern atlantic ocean. how can you expect the metrologist to reply?

Answer 1

The meteorologist would likely respond with an explanation that wind shear is too high to allow convection to organize, water temperatures are too cool to support convection, and the general airmass in higher latitudes is too dry to initiate convection.
