卡特里娜是一个非常强大的强大和致命的飓风,雕刻了巨大的灾难性伤害,造成了巨大的生活损失。这是最昂贵的,最致命的飓风中最致命的最致命的飓风。卡特里娜首先引起了佛罗里达州南部的死亡和损害,作为飓风飓风级飓风的1类飓风。在墨西哥海湾的5类强度后,卡特里娜在北湾海岸登陆之前减弱到第3类。即便如此,在路易斯安那州和密西西比州这种大规模飓风造成的损害和损失令人震惊,旨在延伸到佛罗里达·潘安赫尔(格鲁吉亚和阿拉巴马州)的重大影响。考虑到其影响的范围,卡特里娜是美国历史上最具破坏性的自然灾害之一。
卡特里娜的复杂起源涉及热带波,热带凹陷十的中间对流层残余物的相互作用,以及上部对流层槽。这座低谷位于西部大西洋和巴哈马,在热带抑郁症十年中产生强大的西风剪,导致8月14日堕落约825海里(N Mi)巴巴多斯以东。低级循环逐渐削弱,同时继续向西逐步削弱,最终于8月21日在古巴附近消散。同时,源自热带萧条十的中间对流层循环落后于8月18日至19日落后并通过了Leeward岛的北部。一股热带波浪通过背风群岛,并于8月19日与热带萧条的中间对流层遗留物合并,形成了北富高北部的大面积阵雨和雷暴。这项活动继续慢慢地向北移动,在8月22日的下午,在Hispaniola北部传球,然后在土耳其人和凯科斯群体巩固。从热带预测中心(TPC)的热带分析和预测分支(TAFB)的Dvorak卫星分类。那天开始于1800 UTC。上部对流层谷在向西向佛罗里达队移动时削弱,并且剪切足够放松,让系统在1800年8月23日在巴哈马东南部约175米东南部的拿骚东南部的热带抑郁症。抑郁症被指定为热带凹陷十二,而不是“十个”,因为单独的热带波似乎是对环生成的部分原因,更重要的是,热带抑郁十的低水平循环显然没有涉及。
The depression continued to become organized over the central Bahamas during the evening of August 23. Deep convection increased overnight in the eastern semicircle of the cyclone and formed a well-defined band that began to wrap around the north side of the circulation center early on the morning of August 24. Based on aircraft reconnaissance flight-level wind data, the cyclone became Katrina, the 11th tropical storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, at 1200 UTC August 24 when it was centered over the central Bahamas about 65 n mi east-southeast of Nassau. Initially, the storm moved northwestward within a weakness in the lower tropospheric subtropical ridge. However, as the storm developed an inner core and evolved into a deeper cyclone on August 24, it came under the influence of a strengthening middle to upper tropospheric ridge over the northern Gulf of Mexico and southern United States. This ridge turned Katrina westward on August 25 toward southern Florida. Katrina generated an intense burst of deep convection over the low-level center during the afternoon of August 25 while positioned over the northwestern Bahamas. Further strengthening ensued, and Katrina is estimated to have reached hurricane status near 2100 UTC August 25, less than two hours before its center made landfall on the southeastern coast of Florida.
