Hurricane characterisitcs | Coriolis Effect

1) "The hurricane eye is a calm area with the lowest pressure relative to its surroundings. In there, it is clear and sunny with little or no clouds."

 

I was told that high pressure areas have clear and sunny conditions while low pressure ares have rainy conditions. But why while the hurricane eye has low pressure, it is very clam? And also, cold air is descending into the eye, shouldn't that be high pressure instead of low pressure?

 

2) I don't get the Coriolis Effect! The earth is rotating from west to east, so wouldn't all winds be deflected to the WEST when their original intention is to move straight north or south? But why in fact, the winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere, as follows?

The so-called 'Coriolis effect' is the most misunderstood sub-field of modern science. It is a hoax, a black eye for every card-carrying Physicist, and a shame.

There are numerous incontrovertible proofs of this position, as outlined at:

.

The 'Coriolis effect' is a pseudo-scientific morphing of theoretical math and

venerated superstition (a lot like Jerry Fallwell on God).

To understand weather one must realize that are two spin directions of weather patterns. The closewise spin is associated with high pressure and has been correlated to the spin of the earth. The counterclosewise spin is associated with water and low pressure. When water evaporates the hydrogen bonds are broken between water molecules. Even though the hydrogen bonds are a small bonding force, when added up within large weather phenonena like huricanes this little bond carries a lot of collecitve potential energy.

 

As the water vapor condenses into liquid water, it pulls a vacuum, since the vapor volume of the local atmosphere looses material or water vapor. This is the nature of low pressure, which will pull material from higher pressure into the partial vacuum created. The center of the hurricane, being the source of lowest pressure, will need to pull the highest pressure in. This keeps the eye clear.

 

One may notice that the counterclock wise spin of low pressure will be additive to the closewise spin of high pressure. In other words, these two spin direction are spin additive but with opposite pressure. This causes them to cancel each other out. The implication is that the opposite spin weather system are opposite spin to lower the potential within the atmosphere at the fastest rate. If they were both same spin, storms would spin repel but attract high pressure via their pressure differences. This would cause storms to last much longer than they currently do.

That's all well and good as far as hydrogen bonds.

The part of the post NOT well and good relates to the clockwise / counterclockwise atmospheric disturbances which "have been correlated to the spin of the earth".

 

That part is bogus, which is the subject of my own blog.

 

Since Earth rotates relative to the Sun, and since energy radiating from the Sun is the major disturbance experienced by earth's atmosphere, there are similarities between reality and the space-speed-based "Coriolis Effect'.

 

The energy which drives the Coriolis Effect is the energy which causes Earth to rotate--which is IMAGINARY__NOT PHYSICAL. The physical value of the Coriolis Effect in any equation or problem is ZERO (regardless of its imaginary or theoretical value).

 

A cat I know named Wolfgang is smarter than any Physics Professor at any College, anywhere in the Real world.
