I'm a new member.
Looking forward to participating.

Here's a question I want to ask a physicist:
Is it possible for a hurricane in Earth's northern hemisphere to have sufficient linear momentum (directed South) to cross Earth's equator and still persist as a CCW-rotating hurricance but in the southern hemisphere? If so, for approximately how much time?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Questions should go in the technical forums, not in the Intro forum here. Please post your question in the Earth forum for now -- that's probably the best match. Thanks :smile:
