The Atlantic hurricane of May 1951

The Atlantic hurricane of May 1951 had several interesting characteristics. Chief among these were the high latitude and early season of its origin, the type of air mass in which it formed, its formation in a cold core low that extended high than the 200-mb level, and the loop in its path. There was not available enough observational data within and near the storm in order to make a detailed study sufficient to completely explain these phenomena. Some of the meteorological conditions observed shortly proceeding and during the existence of this storm were studied and are described here. Its formation and movement is analyzed and discussed in relation to various theories on the origin and movement of hurricanes. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / "August, 1952." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 15-16).
