Hurricane track
qHurricane tracks are affected by (1) subtropical high, (2) trade wind, and (3) Coriolis force.
qHurricanes typically form within the trade wind belt and normally moves westward with the winds.
q Due to the subtropical
high and the Coriolis
force, hurricanes tend
to move poleward.
q Eventually hurricanes
cross from the
trade wind belt into the mid-latitude westerly belt, and begin to move eastward.
