The two papers summarize the rapporteur report on recent improvements in tropical cyclone intensity change prediction from an operational perspective from the 10th International Workshop on Tropical Cyclone in Bali, Indonesia. The first part focuses on recent improvements to dynamical models and the notable increase in operational intensity forecast skill. Ongoing challenges for further improving […]

Accurately predicting the distribution and transport of wind energy is important for accurate forecasting of hurricanes by computer models. This study aims to improve our understanding of the energy associated with small-scale eddies and gusts that are known as turbulence. Computer simulations were analyzed to study the distributions of turbulent energy and how hurricane structure […]

This paper summarizes the Tenth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-10), sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The workshop brings together forecasters and researchers from countries around the world that are impacted by tropical cyclones (TCs) with the purpose of discussing the latest research and forecast advances and sharing best practices to improve TC […]

This paper summarizes recent research on a variety of topics related to tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change. These include processes occurring where the air and the sea meet and within the lowest 3000 ft of the atmosphere, small-scale processes within clouds, and how heat from the sun and the earth’s surface (radiation) interacts with TCs. […]

Hurricane Hunter aircraft measurements and numerical simulations from the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast and new Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System models show that the air outside of the eyewall and rainbands entrained into the eyewall and rainbands meets an instability criterion, and therefore, sinks unstably as a convective downdraft. This is an important source […]

NOAA has a long history, dating back to 1807 with the founding of the Survey of the Coast. That means there’s a lot of historic gems laying around the “attic,” such as old scientific equipment, photos, and documents. NOAA’s Heritage staff posts interesting finds as they sift through NOAA’s past. Maybe it’s a cool photo […]
