<p>66.103.240.1: </p> <hr /> <div>The word '''hypercane''' was coined by Kerry Emanuel at [[MIT]] to describe a regime when the simple thermodynamic model to estimate hurricane intensity fails to converge.<br /> <br /> Solving the equations by numerical methods indicates that in that regime, phenomenal [[storm]]s are formed that reach 20 miles high, 10 to 15 miles across[http://library.thinkquest.org/4657/statistics.html](though under special circumstances it may become as large as a continent.) with winds approaching 500 miles an hour. It is also said that storms of this rank will not dissipate until an ample amount of time passes.<br /> <br /> ==Examples==<br /> *In the [[anime]] series ''[[Tactical Roar]]'', a hypercane plays a major part in the setting of the series.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {{tcportal}}<br /> *[[Tropical cyclone]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://wind.mit.edu/~emanuel/holem/holem.html Limits on Hurricane Intensity]<br /> * [http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/dinosaurs/storms.jsp Did storms land the dinosaurs in hot water?]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {{hurricane-stub}}<br /> [[Category:Tropical cyclone meteorology]]</div>
