Slow Atlantic Hurricane Season Comes to a Close

The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season officially ends today marking the close of a season with the fewest named storms and hurricanes since 1997 thanks, in part, to El Niño.

Nine named storms formed this year, including three hurricanes, two of which were major hurricanes at Category 3 strength or higher. These numbers fall within the ranges predicted in NOAA’s mid-season outlook issued in August, which called for seven to 11 named storms, three to six hurricanes, and one to two major hurricanes. An average season has 11 named storms and six hurricanes, including two major hurricanes.

“The reduced activity was expected and reflects the development of El Niño during the summer,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D., lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service. “El Niño produced strong wind shear across the Caribbean Sea and western tropical Atlantic, which resulted in fewer and shorter-lived storms compared to some recent very active seasons.”

Two systems, Claudette and Ida, brought tropical storm force winds to the U.S. mainland. For the first time in three years, no hurricanes hit the U.S. There were 38 hurricane hunter aircraft reconnaissance missions flown by NOAA and the U.S. Air Force over the Atlantic Basin this year compared to 169 in 2008 – another indication of a less active season.

“El Niño is expected to reach peak strength this winter, and will likely continue into the spring. It is far too early to say whether El Niño will be present next summer,” added Bell. NOAA will issue its initial 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Outlook in May, prior to the official start of the season on June 1.

NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth’s environment—from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun—and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.... ( souce.... )

Oes Tsetnoc WordPress plugins

Why is this important plugin for OES Tsetnoc?

This is the only one of the most important Seo plugin I install. This allows me to: Enter title, keywords and description for the Oes Tsetnoc article. Enter a title, keywords and description for the Oes Tsetnoc custom blog content published Prevent indexing of duplicate content, such as my blog archives by date, category or tag Activate canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content penalty by Google (I do not even need to know what the canonical URL ) adjust the format of my blog title and description.

Why is this important?
Header is the title. That’s it. The title of the article contest is the most important source of keywords for search engines. Unfortunately the way the default WordPress to create the title is still far from optimal. All-in-one SEO pack to make search engine friendly. In addition, I get the option to customize the title for each one-page or blog posts I publish.

Next, note the text link below. This is the page description. And with the All-n-one SEO pack I have complete control over what i got there. I can adjust the description to an article contest I published . If I did not do that, Google will take the first paragraph of my post and use it as a description.
