First: media reports and subjective feelings.

First of all, let's talk about the difference between tropical cyclones in the western Pacific and the North Atlantic. The overall intensity of typhoons in the western Pacific is definitely higher than that in the North Pacific.

Hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean are stronger.

The reason why ordinary people can't compare is because their evaluation systems are different. China uses an average wind speed of two minutes, and the United States uses one minute.

There is no small difference between the average clock value and the classification of tropical cyclones. Although there is a general conversion relationship between the two wind power generation systems, it is not allowed.

Indeed, if you directly copy the conversion of American data, it will be very distorted (and usually seriously inflated), as reported by many media.

Data.

First, fortunately, the United States has relatively unified monitoring of tropical cyclones all over the world. Let's compare the SSHWS score and scale method (that is, several grades of hurricanes) in the United States. In fact, there are still many good hurricane landing intensities in the United States, including the entire American responsibility area. For example, this landing in Texas depends on it.

Harvey, who doesn't walk, made a typhoon disaster first and then a rain disaster. Its landing intensity is about the lower limit of C4, and China's evaluation system can provide a super platform.

The following road map can be found in Wikipedia. Let's give some examples of strong hurricanes that have landed in recent years. However, in recent years, even the entire North Atlantic hurricane circle is not very strong.

Hurricanes (there are relatively few strong hurricanes in 08- 15 C5 window).

These are some powerful hurricanes that have landed in recent years. It is not difficult to find that many of them are strengthened near the coast, probably with the east coast of America.

This is related to the powerful Gulf Stream. In fact, the banter name of many strong hurricanes in the North Atlantic in the fan circle is "Warm Current Invincible Series".

Look at the situation in the western Pacific. In fact, there are many strong landings in the western Pacific. China has eaten in recent years.

There are also many strong typhoons, so I only list the landings in China from 14 to now, and the Central Meteorological Observatory determines that strong typhoons or stronger landings.

The typhoon on land has passed.

20 14 rammasun, near Hainan, reported C5, boarded Zhanjiang C4 and boarded Beihai about C3 upper limit. The Central Meteorological Observatory has landed twice before.

Super station, the next strong typhoon.

Second, endlessly put the road map so far away. Some typhoons that landed in the western Pacific 13 to 17 are already higher than those in the North Atlantic.

07~ 17 almost all. It seems that the western Pacific is still much stronger. After all, it took several years for people to get a C5 in Peking University, and I am in the west.

Here in the Pacific, just fiddling is one of them. A thin camel is bigger than a horse. It's still possible to land and get a C2C3.

Through these comparisons, I want to say that there are many tropical cyclones landing strongly in the North Atlantic and the Western Pacific, but it is true that our

I don't know how high typhoons are compared with their hurricanes.

Then start the second article and see how the media reports it.

In fact, the media reported a lot about their own typhoons and hurricanes.

Yes, it's convenient to report at home, near you. For example, the day Tian Ge just boarded Zhuhai in Macau, MH 17 just had an accident. Secondly, it is said that the typhoon is too strong to transfer a lot of news.

What I really want to talk about is hurricanes abroad. Personally, it is mainly because distance produces beauty and mystery. The national conditions of the United States and China are quite different.

There are big differences, such as: there is a typhoon in China, and it is a common scene for troops to row assault boats to save people; The United States has experienced the worst urban waterlogging.

On the contrary, it is imperative to maintain public order and prevent criminals from taking advantage of the fire to rob. There is no need to criticize the inaction of the United States.

Third, and sometimes he doesn't have relevant common sense, which makes him feel strange, doesn't it? We can also look at it from another angle. Foreign media are always hyping the big events in China and making the small events in China into big news.

The source also lies in ignorance and unfamiliarity with China's national conditions. If it was normal (but it may not be), you wouldn't be looking for China all day.

Stubble. Of course, ideological conflicts are still difficult to bridge.

Therefore, the more serious feeling of hurricane lies not only in media reports, but also in the lower understanding and unfamiliarity of news viewers.

I know. As for whether it is true that hurricanes in the United States are more serious than typhoons in Asia, I don't think so. For example, the biggest loss in history is

The Atlantic hurricane was Katrina in 2005, which caused about 1800 deaths and 108 billion dollars in economic losses. as

The strongest typhoon Haiyan in history killed more than 6,300 people and more than 65,438 people were missing.

The economic loss was $2.86 billion. Media reports. Everyone is staring at the United States, and their own media is also developed and has global influence. Not all news broadcasts broadcast America.

Extreme cold weather. It may also be that the second generation is in the United States, so the official media is more concerned.

Fourth, the United States has a developed economy, so it may appear that hurricanes are destructive. If we only look at economic losses, then hurricane Katrina caused

The loss is forty or fifty times that of Haiyan. But if you look at the death toll, you will know that the harm of Haiyan is actually more serious, but the Philippines is poorer than the United States.

Much more, so the economic loss seems small. As China people, the main concern is the typhoon in China, not the typhoon in Asia. The name of Florida comes from the Latin root, which means "land of flowers". In the impression of Americans, it is also sunny all the year round.

Where the sun shines. If we use a familiar metaphor of China, Florida is the Hainan Island of the United States.

However, due to the existence of the first island chain, many stations

Before reaching Chinese mainland, this wind may have landed and weakened in the Philippines, Taiwan Province Province, China and other places, or it may be directed at Vietnam or Japan.

There are not many typhoons that can directly attack the mainland. The situation in America is different. A hurricane generated in the North Atlantic struck the United States for a few minutes.

Son, so it is also possible that China is less affected.

Hurricane Elma ravaged Florida, and people in the southern United States on the other side of the ocean struggled to survive again. It seems that hurricanes in the United States

It opens in a different way from typhoons in Asia. In today's article, we will learn why American hurricanes are so fierce in the south.

Many people lament that America is lucky. The Atlantic and Pacific oceans guard the country, making it difficult for foreign enemies to invade.

But there are times when two oceans can't help America. Every year, a powerful enemy knocks on the door of the southern United States.

This is a hurricane.
