Tropski cikloni, često zvani i uragani, su jedna od najintenzivnijih nepogoda na Zemlji karakterizirani spiralnim strujanjem zraka. Cilj ovog rada je opisati tropske ciklone, točnije njihovu fizikalnu strukturu i ustrojstvo, pojasniti terminologiju koja se za njih veže te prikazati klasifikaciju tropskih ciklona i uragana. S obzirom da je tema utjecaj uragana na plovidbu sjevernim Atlantikom, prikazani su neki od uragana koji su se u ovom bazenu javili u prošlosti, a čiji je utjecaj bio velik, odnosno koji su po nekom mjerilu bili ekstremi. Naposljetku, prikazan je i utjecaj tropskih ciklona i uragana na pomorce i plovidbu sjevernim Atlantikom, te je analiziran utjecaj globalnog zatopljenja na nastanak uragana u budućnosti. Tropical cyclones, often called hurricanes, are one of the most intense disasters on Earth characterized by spiraling air flow. The aim of this paper is to describe tropical cyclones, more precisely their physical structure and composition, to explain the terminology associated with them and to present the classification of tropical cyclones and hurricanes. Since the topic is the impact of hurricanes on navigation in the North Atlantic, some of the hurricanes that occurred in this basin in the past are presented, and whose impact was great or which were extremes by some measures. Finally, the impact of tropical cyclones and hurricanes on seafarers and navigation in the North Atlantic is presented, and the impact of global warming on formation of hurricanes in the future is discussed.
