Weather science: Understanding tropical waves

Tropical waves are atmospheric disturbances that play a critical role in Atlantic hurricane formation, acting as precursors to most major storms. Originating along the African Easterly Jet, these features emerge from complex interactions between temperature gradients and wind patterns—understanding them is key to anticipating tropical cyclone development.

America’s war with billion-dollar hurricanes

From June to November, tropical cyclones in the Atlantic can intensify from small clusters of thunderstorms into massive, rotating systems spanning hundreds of miles and releasing extreme amounts of energy. Understanding their formation, scale, and impacts is essential, as landfalling cyclones are the leading cause of weather‑related economic losses and fatalities in the United States.
