NASA's close-up look at a hurricane's eye reveals a new 'fuel' source
In the eye of a furious hurricane, the weather is often quite calm and sunny. But new NASA research is providing clues about how the seemingly subtle movement of air within and around this region provides energy to keep this central "powerhouse" functioning. view more (2007-05-15)
Gasoline demand doubled during evacuation for hurricane Rita
The unprecedented demand for gasoline during the massive evacuation of Texas and Louisiana during Hurricane Rita resulted in the U.S. effectively having two Labor Days this year in terms of heavy-driving periods. view more (2005-09-29)
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)
Weather Forecast Accuracy Gets Boost with New Computer Model
An advanced forecasting model that predicts several types of extreme weather with substantially improved accuracy has been adopted for day-to-day operational use by civilian and military weather forecasters. view more (2006-08-28)
GOES-11 Sees Tropical Cyclones Fizzling and Forming in the Eastern Pacific
There are a lot of ups and downs in tropical cyclone formation in the Pacific Ocean this week, and that's keeping NOAA's GOES-11 satellite busy. There are remnants of Maka and Tropical Depression 9E, a fizzled Felicia, and a new Tropical Storm named Guillermo. view more (2009-08-14)
A salinity study in the Mobile Delta region
Habitat modifications are among mankind's most pervasive alterations of our nation's estuarine ecosystems. When such modifications are extensive, as is the case for the Mobile Bay Causeway, they can alter patterns of natural hydrography. view more (2006-10-16)
NASA satellite sees Olaf stretch out and fizzle over northwestern mainland Mexico
Tropical Storm Olaf wasn't given much of a chance when he was born, and he never did make it to hurricane strength before fizzling out late Saturday night. view more (2009-10-06)
Rensselaer Researchers Developing Model To Predict Organizational Response to Extreme Events
By studying the organizational culture of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Coast Guard, as well as each organization's response to last year's Hurricane Katrina, a team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has begun to develop a dynamic model of organizational processes with the capacity to predict... view more...

The power of two: Envisat demonstrates combined imagery from dual sensors
The simultaneous observation of the Italian coast by two instruments onboard the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite provides a striking illustration of the unique potential of combining sensor data for a better understanding of complex Earth processes. Envisat's Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) and the Medium Resolution Imaging... view more... (2002-11-04)
Ocean spray lubricates hurricane winds
Hurricane Emily's 140-mile-per-hour winds, which last week blew roofs off hotels and flattened trees throughout the Caribbean, owed their force to an unlikely culprit - ocean spray. view more (2005-07-26)
Survey of hurricane preparedness finds one-third on high risk coast will refuse evacuation order
According to a new survey of people in high-risk hurricane areas conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health Project on the Public and Biological Security, one-third (31%) of residents said if government officials said they had to evacuate due to a major hurricane this season, they would not leave. view more (2007-07-25)
NASA's Advanced Technology Peers Deep Inside Hurricanes
Determined to understand why some storms grow into hurricanes while others fizzle, NASA scientists recently looked deep into thunderstorms off the African coast using satellites and airplanes. view more (2007-03-07)
NASA Satellites See Ida Spreading Out Before Landfall
NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites are keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Ida, and both have instruments aboard that show her clouds and rains are already widespread inland over the U.S. Gulf coast states. view more (2009-11-10)
Small, unmanned aircraft search for survivors
Providing the benefits of speed, portability and access, a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) surveyed storm-damaged communities in Miss. as part of the search for trapped survivors of Hurricane Katrina. view more (2005-09-15)
Believe it or not, more rain would benefit New Orleans, ecologist says
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina - probably the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history - a leading ecologist says that one of the best things that could happen to New Orleans and the rest of southern Louisiana and Mississippi would be more rain. view more (2005-09-19)
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)
Still a Low Chance of Development for Two Lows
The two areas of thunderstorms in the Caribbean from yesterday, July 21, are on the move. One area is now moving into out of the Caribbean and into the eastern Atlantic Ocean while the other is now moving over the southeastern Bahamas and Hispaniola on a northwest track. view more (2009-07-23)
Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country. view more (2007-11-16)
New research in Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound shows hurricanes, runoff tax water quality management efforts
A scientific study that involved analyzing phytoplankton in both North Carolina's Neuse River Estuary/Pamlico Sound and Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay offers a new lesson in light of recent increased hurricane activity along the East Coast, researchers say. view more (2005-12-23)
Baja watching Tropical Storm Patricia in the latest GOES-11 satellite movie
The nineteenth tropical cyclone of the Eastern Pacific formed over this past weekend, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Patricia. view more (2009-10-14)
