NASA's Infrared Satellite Sees Warmer Cloud Tops in Tropical Storm Marty
Marty is struggling to hold onto tropical storm status, and things are just going to get worse for him, as he moves into an area with stronger wind shear. Infrared satellite imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite showed that Marty's thunderstorm cloud tops are not as cold as they were earlier today, September 17, and his cloud pattern has become a... view more...

To provide essential data for the rebuilding of the ravaged levees in New Orleans, engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be studying small-scale models of sections of the flood-protection system. view more (2006-02-22)
New faraway sensors warn of emerging hurricane's strength
A new study supported by NASA and the U.S. Office of Naval Research takes forecasters one step further to improving their ability to predict just how powerful an oncoming storm may become by using highly-sensitive sensors located thousands of miles from the storm to detect lightning outbreaks within a hurricane's most dangerous area. view more (2007-09-07)

Microfossils show promise in prospecting climate history
In 2004 and now in 2005, the hurricane seasons have been horrifyingly intense - so how bad is the long-range forecast? Based on a century of data, meteorologists currently believe that a 30-year lull in hurricane activity is over and we are at the beginning of a new multi-decade period of larger and more frequent storms. view more (2005-10-31)
Dust may dampen hurricane fury
After more than a dozen hurricanes battered the Atlantic Ocean last year, scientists are wondering what-if anything-might be causing stronger and more frequent storms. view more (2006-10-10)
