Introduction

Amphetamines are stimulants that reduce fatigue, and give the body a feeling of vigor within a short time. Medics discourage the use of amphetamines owing to the high addiction level.

Seasonal Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in Australia Region Using Regression

1. Literature Review

1.1 Tropical Cyclone

A tropical cyclone as globally defined is a fast-spinning storm system characterize by a center that has low pressure, powerful winds, as well as a spiral placement of thunderstorms that lead to torrential rainfall. A typical cyclone forms over a water body that is large, for example, seas and oceans-and these large water bodies are relatively warm. These cyclones are known to source their energy from the water that evaporates on the surface of the ocean.

This is the water that evaporates condenses and forms clouds and rain. The energy that they source from the evaporation of water differs depending on the geographical location. For example, the mid-latitude cyclonic storms source its energy from the contrasts in horizontal temperature and examples of these mid-latitude cyclonic storms are nor’easters, as well as European windstorms.
