Welcome! It is 8:14:59 PM on Saturday, May 17, 2008. This page has served
92806 hurricane watchers since 5/14/00. Last
update: Thursday, January 31, 2008.
After many years of research, I have finally found the answer to the effects El Nino has on Hurricane Development.
See for yourself:

The Weather Channel- An
impressive collection of of low resolution images, many from unique locations
around the world. Not so good for printing, but great for viewing because
of the pleasant contrast between the ocean, land, and enhanced cloud tops.
These maps are shown within html pages at the Weather Channel.

Channel Sat Loops
General Thoughts: The Weather Channel provides an
array of satellite movies that can't be found anywhere else on the web. Besides
being so geographically diverse, the movies provide very impressive visual
contrast with blue oceans, brown landscapes and white clouds. The sat loops
are animated gifs.
