what type of atmospheric of barometric pressure is associated with a hurricane?

Question

atmospheric OR barometric. sorry.

Answer 1

This is an excellent question. Let me answer it this way by providing you with the lowest pressures ever associated with a Tropical Cyclone. The most intense storm based on the central barometric pressure was Typhoon Tip in the northwest Pacific Ocean on 12 Oct 1979. It's lowest pressure was 870 mb.

In the Atlantic the most intense hurricane was Wilma in the Caribbean on 19 Oct 2005 with a central pressure of 882 mb.

These extreme weather records are compiled by the National Climate Extremes Committee.

Answer 2

Hurricanes are associated with very low atmospherric pressure.You can call it any way.As you are measuring the pressure of the atmosphere over a place,it can be called as atmospheric pressure.As you are measuring this pressure by an instrumrnt called barometer,it can also be called barometric pressure.The centre of the hurricane may have a pressure which is sometimes 50 millibars less than that of the periphery.

Answer 3

Barometric pressure is a term to give reference to a weather instrument that measures pressure in the ambient. 29.92 is a standard reading that is taken at sea level when it is 60 degrees. Variances in temperature and altitude will give different readings. There is no "type". In regards to a Hurricane, the center is a low pressure area.

Answer 4

Generally, the LOWER the barometric pressure- the more powerfull the Hurricane (& that goes for all other large, organized storms- as well...).

Answer 5

Low pressure.

There's a list of intense tropical cyclones (the Meteorological name for a hurricane) with central pressures at
