The 1976 Atlantic hurricane season was an average Atlantic hurricane season, officially starting on June 1, 1976 and ending on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic Ocean. The season produced 23 tropical cyclones, of which ten developed into named storms; six became hurricanes, and two attained major hurricane status. The strongest hurricane of the season was Hurricane Belle, which reached Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale east of North Carolina; Belle later struck Long Island, New York as a Category 1 hurricane, causing $100 million in damage (1976 USD) and a total of five deaths across the New England region of the United States. The season began with Subtropical Storm One on May 21, prior to the official start of the season; the bounds of the season are from June 1 to November 30, which conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. Tropical Storm Dottie caused flooding rains in Florida that caused a total of four deaths. In early September, Hurricane Emmy caused 68 indirect deaths when a Venezuelan Air Force plane carrying a school choir crashed on a landing attempt at Lajes Air Base in the Azores during the storm. ==Seasonal summary== ImageSize = width:800 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:20 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/05/1976 till:01/11/1976 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/05/1976 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TD value:rgb(0.38,0.73,1) legend:Tropical_Depression_=_<39_mph_(<62_km/h) id:TS value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Tropical_Storm_=_39–73_mph_(63–117 km/h) id:C1 value:rgb(1,1,0.80) legend:Category_1_=_74–95_mph_(119–153_km/h) id:C2 value:rgb(1,0.91,0.46) legend:Category_2_=_96–110_mph_(154–177_km/h) id:C3 value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Category_3_=_111–130_mph_(178–209_km/h) id:C4 value:rgb(1,0.56,0.13) legend:Category_4_=_131–155_mph_(210–249_km/h) id:C5 value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Category_5_=_≥156_mph_(≥250_km/h) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:11 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:21/05/1976 till:25/05/1976 color:TS text:"SS One" from:07/06/1976 till:09/06/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:11/06/1976 till:12/06/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:20/07/1976 till:22/07/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:23/07/1976 till:24/07/1976 color:TD text:"TD" barset:break from:28/07/1976 till:01/08/1976 color:TS text:"Anna" from:06/08/1976 till:10/08/1976 color:C3 text:"Belle" from:18/08/1976 till:21/08/1976 color:TS text:"Dottie" from:18/08/1976 till:24/08/1976 color:C1 text:"Candice" from:20/08/1976 till:04/09/1976 color:C2 text:"Emmy" from:27/08/1976 till:04/09/1976 color:C3 text:"Frances" from:04/09/1976 till:06/09/1976 color:TD text:"TD" barset:break from:05/09/1976 till:07/09/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:13/09/1976 till:17/09/1976 color:TS text:"SS Three" from:20/09/1976 till:27/09/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:22/09/1976 till:24/09/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:26/09/1976 till:04/10/1976 color:C2 text:"Gloria" from:26/09/1976 till:28/09/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:03/10/1976 till:12/10/1976 color:TD text:"Ten" barset:break from:12/10/1976 till:15/10/1976 color:TD text:"TD" from:22/10/1976 till:28/10/1976 color:C1 text:"Holly" bar:Month width:5 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/05/1976 till:01/06/1976 text:May from:01/06/1976 till:01/07/1976 text:June from:01/07/1976 till:01/08/1976 text:July from:01/08/1976 till:01/09/1976 text:August from:01/09/1976 till:01/10/1976 text:September from:01/10/1976 till:01/11/1976 text:October TextData = pos:(570,30) text:"(From the" pos:(617,30) text:"Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind Scale)" Officially, the 1976 hurricane season began on June 1 and ended November 30;〔〔 〕 however, the first system – Subtropical Storm One – developed on May 21.〔 Conditions across the Atlantic were somewhat unfavorable for tropical cyclogenesis throughout the year, with high wind shear dominating the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The bulk of the season's activity was confined to August when five named storms formed.〔 Compared the previous ten year average of storms per season, the 1976 season was considered an average one. However, the lack of activity in both the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico was considered a rare event that had only occurred one other time in 1962 since 1900. The year's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 84, classifying it as a "near-normal" season. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE was only calculated on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots (39 mph, 63 km/h) or tropical storm strength. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1976 Atlantic hurricane season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
