Science of Hurricanes will answer the most basic and profound questions about hurricanes. It will examine why they form, how they move, and what we know about the ingredients that create their destructive power. It will unravel the mystery behind hurricane predictions, the science and technology used to produce them, and show the devastation that drives forecasters to get people out of harms way. The program will also explore the latest theories about aspects of hurricanes that we do not fully understand, like rapid storm intensification, and the conditions that spawn more active and devastating hurricane seasons. These concepts will be presented through insightful narration and interviews with some of the world's leading hurricane experts, and illustrated with an exciting array of storm footage, dramatizations, computer animations and enhanced radar and satellite image sequences.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

I purchased this video for a college-level course on weather. I was annoyed that before I showed the video, I had to warn the students about significant inaccuracies in the video. For example, the video has the Trade Winds blowing in the wrong direction. Nice footage, though.
