Ms. Alexandra Ramos (right), an undergraduate student from the University of Puerto Rico, started her summer internship at Physical Oceanography Division of AOML. She will be working with PhOD scientists to explore how the minimum upper ocean heat energy required for generating cat-5 hurricanes may change during the 21st century. She will be mainly focusing on the climate model simulations, which will be used in the next IPCC report.
