This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Developmental Phases of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast, Developmental Phases of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast are Easterly Wave (precursor phase), Extra- tropical cyclone may still be Severe, Tropical depression defined as having 20-33 knot surface winds, Dropwindsonde data shows Winds as a function of height, 5-15 degrees north latitude because Coriolis effect, Movement over land causes Friction, Satellite imagery shows Storm structure and strength, Developmental Phases of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast are Extra- tropical cyclone, High pressure aloft provides Lifting, 20-33 knot surface winds is the threshold to Receive a numerical designation, Easterly Wave (precursor phase) is influenced by the Coriolis effect, Developmental Phases of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast are Hurricane, Developmental Phases of Tropical Weather That Impacts the Gulf Coast are indicated by Satellite imagery, Tropical cyclones progresses to Hurricane, Dvorak method verified by Dropwindsonde data, Atlantic hurricane recurves and tracks northward usually around 30 degrees north latitude, Coriolis effect causes Cyclonicity, Tropical cyclones defined as having Several closed isobars, Extra- tropical cyclone is when Atlantic hurricane recurves and tracks northward, Tropical depression defined as having At least one closed low-level isobar
