AOML scientists prepare for an active 2025 hurricane season

AOML Communications — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 14:05:21 +0000

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season started on June 1 and runs through November 30. NOAA predicts a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season in the Atlantic basin this year: NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) will work with partners […]

What was the bumpiest hurricane flight ever? Scientists now have the answer with new flight bumpiness measurement system

AOML Communications — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 17:23:04 +0000

Original article published by NOAA Research on March 31, 2025. Hurricane researchers know bumpy flights better than anyone else, but, after a particularly turbulent flight into Hurricane Ian, scientists were left wondering if it was the bumpiest flight on record aboard a NOAA WP-3D Orion hurricane hunter aircraft. This question led scientists to develop a […]
