Biography :

Stanley B. Goldenberg is a Meteorologist with the Hurricane Research Division/AOML/NOAA located in Miami, Florida. Stan received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Meteorology from Florida State University (1978, 1980). His Master's work was under Dr. James O'Brien, one of the world's leading experts on El Niño. Stan developed the initial data utilized by Dr. O'Brien's research group to confirm some of the physical mechanisms responsible for El Niño events. Stan's hurricane-related research has included developing and implementing significant improvements to one of the earlier numerical hurricane-track prediction models used by the National Hurricane Center. More recently he has examined the various climatic factors which influence the variability of hurricane activity in the Atlantic from intraseasonal to multi-decadal time scales. In particular, he has done extensive research into the physical mechanisms responsible for the connection between El Niño and Atlantic hurricane activity. Stan has participated in numerous research flights into nearly twenty hurricanes aboard NOAA's P-3 aircraft, including Hurricanes Bonnie and Fran that struck the Carolinas, and on many of the NOAA G-IV jet's flights. His interest and experience in hurricane disaster preparedness was greatly increased when his home was destroyed as his family experienced the full force of Hurricane Andrew (1992). His family's Andrew experience has been featured in numerous TV specials such as CYCLONE! (National Geographic) and SAVAGE SKIES (PBS) and STORM WARNING (Discovery Channel). Stan has authored several scientific papers and has been a regular speaker at numerous hurricane preparedness, insurance and scientific conferences. He was the first author of the research report published in Science establishing the fact that the Atlantic hurricane basin has entered a multidecadal-scale era of greatly increased hurricane activity. He is one of the lead (and founding) authors of NOAA's Seasonal Hurricane Outlooks for the Atlantic basin.

Processing dropsondes on G-IV jet

Hurricane Field Program Experience: Stan has participated in research/reconnaissance missions (on NOAA WP-3D aircraft) into nearly two dozen hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins. On these flights he has acted as an observer and operated and monitered various instruments on board the aircraft (including the radar, cloud physics and omega dropwindsonde stations). Stan has also operated the HAPS dropsonde station aboard NOAA G-IV jet on numerous synoptic recconnaissance flights around hurricanes and as part of the Winter Storms and PACJET Projects.

Current Research: Stan has carried out original research to establish the various physical mechanisms responsible for the relationships between intraseasonal, interannual and multidecadal variability of Atlantic SSTs and vertical shear, El Niño, and West African rainfall.

Hurricane Andrew experience:

Andrew on Miami radar	On August 23, 1992 Barbara and Stanley Goldenberg's first daughter (and fourth child), Pearl, was born. Stan then rushed home from the hospital in order to complete preparations on his home before Hurricane Andrew struck. He rode out that terrible night with his three sons, his sister-in-law's family, and a new kitten.	Andrew on NOAA satellite
Stan in front of The Goldenberg home used by permission of Stan Goldenberg	First the plywood panels covering the windows were torn off by the wind, then wind-borne debris shattered the vulnerable windows. They were all huddling in the kitchen when the roof blew away and the walls began to collapse. Stan rode out the highest winds pinned by the stove protecting his sons.

Stan's interest in hurricane shutters and disaster preparedness was greatly increased from his experience in Hurricane Andrew. The family's dramatic survival story has been featured on many news documentaries, and Stan has given many interviews to television and newspapers about that night and talks about preparedness at public meetings and conferences.
