This undergraduate meteorology tutorial from Texas A&M University discusses the climatology of hurricanes (where they form, where they go, and their niche in the general circulation) as well as their basic dynamics: what they need to develop, what feeds them, and what eventually causes their demise. A section about forecasting the paths and locations of hurricanes and descriptions of their various features is also included.
