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)
Research re-examines strong hurricane studies
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have released a study supporting the findings of several studies last year linking an increase in the strength of hurricanes around the world to a global increase in sea surface temperature. View More (2006-03-17)
Researchers can predict hurricane-related power outages
Using data from Hurricane Katrina and four other destructive storms, researchers from Johns Hopkins and Texas A&M universities say they have found a way to accurately predict power outages in advance of a hurricane. View More (2009-10-21)
FSU scientists unveil new seasonal hurricane forecasting model
Scientists at The Florida State University's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) have developed a new computer model that they hope will predict with unprecedented accuracy how many hurricanes will occur in a given season. View More (2009-07-16)
NASA TRMM satellite data show areas of Alex's heavy rainfall
Areas of northeastern Mexico were slammed with heavy rainfall, and NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite estimated more than 10 inches of rainfall fell in various locations and that data was used to create a rainfall map. View More (2010-07-02)
Tropical storm risk consortium announces forecast for US hurricane strikes in 2001
Atlantic hurricane activity and the numbers of hurricanes striking US shores between June and November 2001 are anticipated to be 20% above average, a team of UK scientists said today. Dr Mark Saunders, Dr Paul Rockett and Dr Tony Hamilton of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College London (UCL) have developed innovative long-range predictions for Atlantic and US...

GOES satellite sees a triple header in the tropics
The GOES-13 satellite captured a triple-header in the tropics today when it captured three tropical cyclones in one image in the Northern Hemisphere. View More (2011-07-21)
Saving lives through smarter hurricane evacuations
Hundreds of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars could potentially be saved if emergency managers could make better and more timely critical decisions when faced with an approaching hurricane. Now, an MIT graduate student has developed a computer model that could help do just that. View More (2008-08-29)
Envisat and ERS-2 reveal hidden side of Hurricane Rita
As Hurricane Rita entered the Gulf of Mexico, ESA's Envisat satellite's radar was able to pierce through swirling clouds to directly show how the storm churns the sea surface. View More (2005-09-26)
USA's ancient hurricane belt and the US-Canada equator
The recent storms that have battered settlements on the east coast of America may have been much more frequent in the region 450 million years ago, according to scientists. View More (2012-11-16)
NASA catches 3 tropical cyclones at 1 time
It's not often that a satellite can capture an image of more than one tropical cyclone, but the GOES-13 satellite managed to get 3 tropical cyclones in two ocean basins in one image today. View More (2011-07-25)
NJIT architect professor advocates best-building practices for high wind regions
More than ever before, building design and construction can be significantly improved to reduce wind pressures on building surfaces and to help better resist high winds and hurricanes in residential or commercial construction, said NJIT architecture professor Rima Taher, PhD. View More (2008-07-10)
Forest fires a real concern for areas hit hard by hurricanes
Scientists from the Pacific Northwest will help forest managers in the Southeast quickly measure fuel loads across extensive areas of hurricane-damaged forests, the first step in deciding where to remove downed trees in order to prevent devastating wildfires from inflicting even more damage to hurricane ravaged areas in the Southeast.

Satellite visualization tool for high-res observation accessible from anywhere with internet access
A paper published in the February issue of Computers & Geosciences, describes a case study in which an earth-observing satellite tool, the Tool for High-Resolution Observation Review (THOR), using minimal coding effort, is converted into a practical web-based application, THOR-Online.

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)
California is Home to Extreme Weather, Too
California isn't going to face a superstorm like Hurricane Sandy because the Pacific Ocean is too cold to feed that kind of weather system. View More (2012-11-02)
NASA sees into the eye of a monster storm on Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen something never before seen on another planet - a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's south pole with a well-developed eye, ringed by towering clouds. View More (2006-11-10)
NASA aircraft captures windy details in hurricane's ups and downs
Researchers employing some of the world's most sophisticated weather research equipment recently captured details on winds and other conditions in a rapidly intensifying hurricane. This data will help to advance the understanding of these complex storms. View More (2006-12-12)
GOES-13 sees system 92L looking more like a tropical depression
GOES-13 captured a look at System 92L this morning as it continues moving through the central Caribbean, and it's looking more and more like a tropical depression. View More (2010-09-15)
Did dust bust the 2006 hurricane season forecasts?
A recent NASA study suggests that tiny dust particles may have foiled forecasts that the 2006 hurricane season would be another active one. View More (2007-03-29)
