Cyclones spurt water into the stratosphere, feeding global warming
Scientists at Harvard University have found that tropical cyclones readily inject ice far into the stratosphere, possibly feeding global warming. view more (2009-04-21)
UW-Madison tools help track Hurricane Ophelia
As Hurricane Ophelia is set to make landfall on the North Carolina coast on Wednesday or Thursday (Sept. 14 or 15), analysis techniques developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Tropical Cyclones group in the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies are helping to predict the anticipated path of the storm. view more (2005-09-14)
Warmer seas linked to strengthening hurricanes: FSU study fuels global warming debate
The theory that global warming may be contributing to stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic over the past 30 years is bolstered by a new study led by a Florida State University researcher. The study will be published in the Sept. 4 edition of the journal Nature. view more (2008-09-04)
Fast and cheap forecasting system for Mediterranean cyclones
The Mediterranean region is a very active cyclone area, and is often affected by these atmospheric phenomena, which bring strong winds and heavy rain. view more (2009-05-27)
For hurricanes, storms, raindrop size makes all the difference
When Tropical Storm Gaston hit Richmond, Va., in August 2004, its notable abundance of small and mid-sized raindrops created torrential rains that led to unexpected flash flooding throughout the city and its suburbs. New research from NASA has concluded that tropical cyclones like Gaston produce rain differently than another class of storms called... view more... (2008-06-10)
How To Catch El-Nino
The scientists from Obninsk Institute of Experimental Meteorology know how to predict the coming of El-Nino - a phenomenon, which causes the ocean surface in Equatorial and South-East parts of the Pacific Ocean to heat too fast. The temperature rises on 3-4 degrees in 24 hours, but the consequences may be catastrophic - they may result in many... view more... (2002-04-02)
NASA Satellite Tracking Typhoon Lupit on a March Toward the Northern Philippines
Three instruments on NASA's Aqua satellite captured views of Typhoon Lupit on its western track toward the Philippines and are helping forecasters get an idea of its strength and behavior. Lupit strengthened quickly in 24 hours from a tropical depression to a typhoon, between October 15 and 16. view more (2009-10-19)
Storm Killers: LSU's Earth Scan Lab Tracks Cold Water Upwellings in Gulf
Complex interactions between the ocean and overlying atmosphere cause hurricanes to form, and also have a tremendous amount of influence on the path, intensity and duration of a hurricane or tropical weather event. view more (2009-09-29)
NRL's P-3 aircraft support project to study tropical cyclones
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has been hunting for tropical cyclones as part of a multi-national study to understand, observe, and predict the potential impacts of Pacific tropical cyclones. view more (2008-12-08)
Frequency of Atlantic hurricanes doubled over last century, climate change suspected
About twice as many Atlantic hurricanes form each year on average than a century ago, according to a new statistical analysis of hurricanes and tropical storms in the north Atlantic. view more (2007-07-30)
NASA Researchers Studying Tropical Cyclones
NASA hurricane researchers are deploying to Costa Rica next month to investigate the birthplace of eastern Pacific tropical cyclones. They will be searching for clues that could lead to a greater understanding and better predictability of one of the world's most significant weather events - the hurricane. view more (2005-06-24)
NASA experiment stirs up hope for forecasting deadliest cyclones
NASA satellite data and a new modeling approach could improve weather forecasting and save more lives when future cyclones develop. view more (2009-04-14)
Research finds evidence tropical cyclones have climate-control role
Purdue University researchers have found evidence that tropical cyclones and hurricanes play an important role in the ocean circulation patterns that transport heat and maintain the climate of North America and Europe. view more (2007-06-01)
The Sun Flooded Europe
It will be easy to predict typhoon appearance if you know where it arises. One of the cyclone forming regions is the northern part of the Mediterranean along the French and Italian coast. Most of last summer cyclones came from there and flooded many European countries and Southern Russia, and even snowed heavily in Austria and in the north of... view more... (2002-10-25)
Earth, Wind and Volcanoes - Disaster Science
Ash with Altitude "Volcanic ash, ejected into the stratosphere and spread horizontally by the winds, can cause serious damage to aircraft engines and sensors," says Dr Charles Sprinkle of the US National Weather Service. Modern jet engines operate at such high temperatures that volcanic ash ingested can melt, stick to the turbines and... view more... (1999-10-26)
Scientists assess flooding and damage from 2008 Myanmar cyclone
Tropical cyclone Nargis made landfall in the Asian nation of Myanmar on May 2, 2008, causing the worst natural disaster in the country's recorded history - with a death toll that may have exceeded 138,000. view more (2009-07-17)
Tornado threat increases as Gulf hurricanes get larger
Tornadoes that occur from hurricanes moving inland from the Gulf Coast are increasing in frequency, according to researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2009-09-09)
How strong is a hurricane? Just listen
Knowing how powerful a hurricane is, before it hits land, can help to save lives or to avoid the enormous costs of an unnecessary evacuation. Some MIT researchers think there may be a better, cheaper way of getting that crucial information. view more (2008-04-11)
Accuracy of past hurricane counts good
Counting tropical storms that occurred before the advent of aircraft and satellites relies on ships logs and hurricane landfalls, making many believe that the numbers of historic tropical storms in the Atlantic are seriously undercounted. view more (2007-11-26)
NASA's TRMM satellite captures Typhoon Melor as it reaches Japan
Melor began as a tropical depression back on the 29th of September 2009 about 1000 miles (~1600 km) east-southeast of Guam in the Northern Mariana Islands. view more (2009-10-09)
