Talk:Tropical cyclone engineering

Not sure entirely sure what to do with it. Do we have a more appropriate page?--Nilfanion (talk) 22:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The article says that wind engineering is a sub-section of hurricane engineering. Actually, just as 'hurricane' is a sub-class of 'wind', so hurricane engineering is a a sub-section of the much broader field of wind engineering. There are numerous international organisations and conferences relating to wind engineering, far fewer to hurricane engineering

subclassification of hurricanes with respect to wind
Hurricanes are a subset of wind-producing meteorological events, but hurricanes have much greater effects than just wind. Storm surge is the obvious example. As such, hurricane engineering as a discipline cannot simply be a subset of wind engineering. Addressing storm surge related problems would be out of its scope, and this is clearly not the case.

Other examples of the effects of hurricanes that require attention from the engineering community are transportation planning (evacuation) and water/wastewater quality. Engineering for hurricane hazards encompasses much more than wind.

I have a question. Hurricane engineering is clearly a big process and is no small task. Why dont we hear more about it? Such as on the news with advancements or something along those lines? I dont think I can say I have ever heard of something about hurricane engineering on the news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyconrad (talk • contribs) 17:45, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
