On October 25th, a severe hurricane struck the Tampa area bringing a surge of 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.5 m) in Tampa Bay. The storm originated somewhere in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, but was not detected until Oct. 20th, by which time it was already at tropical storm strength. Like many late-October storms, […]
Dr. Hazelton presented a seminar on “Evaluation of Tropical Cyclone Structure in High-Resolution FV3 Simulations”. Abstract The FV3 dynamical core with GFS physics has shown skill both in global forecasting and the ability to simulate high-impact weather events. Here, a regionally stretched and nested version of the model, centered over the Atlantic Basin with a grid […]
HRD researchers discussed the results from the 9 P-3, 9 G-IV, and 3 Global Hawk missions into Hurricane Matthew (30 September to 8 October 2016). The agenda for the discussion was: Slides from the debrief are available at: ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/pub/hrd/blog/meetings/2016/HFP/MatthewDebrief_10202016.pptx

On October 18, 1996, Hurricane Lili slammed into Cuba with over 100 mph (160 km/hr) winds and heavy rains. The storm, during its life cycle, would leave destruction from Central America to the British Isles. Lili formed from a tropical depression which developed on Oct. 15th in the typical breeding grounds for mid-October, the western […]

On the morning of October 18, 1906, a severe hurricane swept through the Florida Keys and across south Florida, destroying homes, killing scores of people, and nearly killing a railroad. The storm’s tortuous path began as a disturbance moving along the southern reaches of the Caribbean Sea in early October. It wasn’t until it […]
Dr. Hennon presented a seminar on “Toward a Global Homogeneous Tropical Cyclone Data Record”. Abstract Any analysis of global tropical cyclone (TC) activity must account for the myriad of interagency differences in determining maximum wind speed. Although the use of the Dvorak technique is the dominating factor in the vast majority of all agency estimates, […]
