Brief Bibliography HURRICANES JULY 1989 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Environmental Science, Data, and Information Service National Oceanographic Data Center HURRICANES Hurricanes are violent storms found in all major oceans except the South Atlantic. The name evolved from West Indian usage referring to storms in the Caribbean; in the western Pacific they are called typhoons and in other areas, tropical cyclones. Hurricanes originate mainly in the summer and autumn. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30. During this time, current information on storm location and movement can be obtained from a national hotline by calling 1-900-410-NOAA. This brief bibliography is intended to provide a selected guide to the literature on hurricanes published since 1986 together with a small number of older items contained in the extensive collections of the NOAA Central Library. Current references were selected from Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts, published by the American Meteorological Society, Boston, MA and Applied Science & Technology Index by H. Wilson. The search qualifiers were: (HURRICANES or TYPHOONS) and (DAMAGE or RESEARCH or FORECASTING or TRACKING or PROBABILITY) and 1986 to present.
