You couldn't nuke a tropical cyclone and do anything but make it more hazardous.
I still voted mudkipz though.

pffft the nuke could theoretically blow apart the storm. if it was powerful enough, the shockwave would blast the convection currents apart.

its time for the tables to turn
an explosion could always blow up a storm. imagine the sun blowing up vs a tiny hurrican

An explosion does not explode wind. |

But, explosions release a wave of pressure, like a mini wind.

An explosion does not explode wind. the nuke would superheat and blow apart the convection currents in the hurrican |

Which could in theory boost the hurricane. |

the shockwave would not disrupt the hurricane much. It passes through and leaves. however the convection currents would be blown apart from the wind and heat.

A bomb or bombs would be a dead end since the amount of energy a hurricane is releasing and the size of its circulation would make any bomb, including the largest nuclear bomb, seem more futile than trying to stop a charging elephant by throwing a ping-pong ball at it.

And it is a matter of scale. Look at a large hurricane, it is hundreds of miles across. Now look at our largest hydrogen bombs, they vaporize things for a mile or two around. |

The ocean serge is created by the extrem low presure at the core of the storm. The violent wind speed is driven by this also.Look at the science. Fast air, lower presure. A wing.
Detonating a very large nuc bomb would not change that at all. It might even make it stronger. A dramatic change in air presure would help stop the storm. How do we do that then? What do we have that could increas air presure enough to stop a hurican. ? |

The energy released by a hurricane is on the order of megatons per second. A nuke would have less effect on a hurricane than a single stick of dynamite on a tornado. |

pffft no, a hurricane would stop when the convection currents are disrupted. By heating the cold air and dispersing moisture, that would stop the hurricane

Yeah, thats why more hurricanes form in the summer than the winter. The need hot air and cold air.

waste? you're not wasting anything if you save lives.
and who said we needed to use bombs with radioactive fallout

And keep in mind the concept of conservation of angular momentum. Even if you could disrupt the eye briefly, all that angular momentum is still in the air somewhere, and it will return to re-form the eye in a matter of minutes or less.

no, if you evaporate the convection columns the whole hurrican falls apart
also you can claim "different analogy" or "different point" etc to practically anything....

A tropical cyclone can cease to have tropical characteristics in several different ways. One such way is if it moves over land, thus depriving it of the warm water it needs to power itself, quickly losing strength http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone#Factors_2 |

so if we blow up the earth it'll reform by itself?
according to your conservation of angular momentum.
