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)
Seeing the eye: Weather model advances hurricane intensity prediction
An advanced research weather model run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is following Hurricane Rita to give scientists a taste of how well forecast models of the future may predict hurricane track, intensity, and important rain and wind features. view more (2005-09-22)
Global Warming Surpassed Natural Cycles in Fueling 2005 Hurricane Season, NCAR Scientists Conclude
Global warming accounted for around half of the extra hurricane-fueling warmth in the waters of the tropical North Atlantic in 2005, while natural cycles were only a minor factor. view more (2006-06-23)

Catastrophic events can affect a person's sleep
A significant disruption of day-to-day life can take place in those areas affected by a natural disaster. One of the more recent disasters occurred when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in late August 2005, causing loss of lives, extensive damage, and the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents. view more (2007-06-12)
'Trapped wave' caused unexpected Dennis surge, scientists say FSU
When Hurricane Dennis passed North Florida on July 10, 2005, it caused a 10-foot storm surge in some areas along Apalachee Bay - about 3 to 4 feet more than forecasted- that couldn't be explained only by the local winds that conventionally drive storm surge. view more (2006-10-10)
Baja California Residents Should Prepare for Hurricane Rick

FSU meteorologists' work may lead to better tracking of hurricanes
Scientists are continually exploring different aspects of hurricanes to increase the understanding of how they behave. Recently, two NASA-funded scientists from Florida State University analyzed ozone levels surrounding hurricanes. Their work could lead to better methods of forecasting the paths of the deadly storms. view more (2005-06-09)
UCF, Georgia researchers: New Orleans faces 3-in-10 chance of hurricane winds
Still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Gulf Coast faces the highest probability of any area in the country of getting struck by hurricane-force winds during the 2006 hurricane season. view more (2006-05-25)
Survey: Refusal to Evacuate, Complacency Remain Problems During Hurricanes
After the state had been battered by three hurricanes last year, many residents ignored the threat of Hurricane Jeanne and refused to leave their homes in evacuation zones, county emergency managers reported in a survey released today by a University of Central Florida researcher. view more (2005-12-01)
Are women more generous? New study sheds light on donation behavior
Why would women give more to the victims of Hurricane Katrina than to the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research sheds light onto the way gender and moral identity affect donations. view more (2009-02-24)
Tropical depression: Hurricane linked to long-term mental distress
Florida State University sociologists in Tallahassee, Fla. have found that some South Floridians who survived 1992's Hurricane Andrew suffered mental health problems many years later, a finding that has led the researchers to predict even more dire consequences for those who lived through last year's devastating Hurricane Katrina. view more (2006-05-10)

Scientists at NASA are finding that with hurricanes, they can look at the cloud tops for clues about the behavior of winds below the hurricane on the Earth's surface. view more (2006-05-17)
NASA Eyes Category 4 Hurricane Felicia and a Stubborn Enrique
Felicia is the storm that rules the Eastern Pacific Ocean this week, but Enrique refuses to give up. Felicia is a major hurricane with sustained winds near 140 mph, and Enrique is still hanging onto tropical storm status with 50 mph sustained winds. view more (2009-08-07)
Hurricane Forecasters Adopt NCAR Radar Technique
The National Hurricane Center will implement a new technique this summer, developed by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), to continually monitor landfalling storms in the United States. view more (2008-04-11)
Gulf warm-water eddies intensify hurricane changes
Scientists monitoring ocean heat and circulation in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have a new understanding of how these tropical storms can gain intensity so quickly: The Gulf of Mexico's "Loop Current" is likely intensifying hurricanes that pass over eddies of warm water that spin off the main current. view more (2005-10-04)
