References on hurricanes Would anyone know of references (available online or not) that give detailed explanations and especially the physics behind violent meteorological events such as hurricanes?
There are many generalized references, such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqD.html
But I think the best is Kerry Emmanuel's presentation:

Is this sufficient detail for you? If not, then you probably need to do a course in tropical meteorology.
