As Tropical Storm Cristobal continued to intensify as it slowly moved northward east of the Bahamas a NOAA P-3 and G-IV mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here you see images of the horizontal winds within 300 km of Cristobal sampled from the tail Doppler radar on […]

As Tropical Storm Cristobal continued to intensify north of the Turks and Caicos Islands (the island coast line is visible as black line in the lower left of the G-IV images) a NOAA P-3 and G-IV mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here you see images of […]
As Tropical Depression 4 (TD04, soon to become Tropical Storm Cristobal) continued to intensify north of the Turks and Caicos Islands (the island coast line is visible as black line in the lower left of the images) a NOAA P-3 mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here […]
As Tropical Depression 4 (TD04, soon to become Tropical Storm Cristobal) formed in the vicinity of the Turks and Caicos Islands (the island coast line is visible as black line in the lower left of the images) a NOAA P-3 mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here […]
On September 3, 1979, Hurricane David, one of the most destructive and deadly Atlantic hurricanes on record, made a glancing landfall on south Florida after its devastating rampage through the Caribbean. David had seemed to be aimed to make landfall in either Dade or Broward counties but just hours before impact swerved to the right […]

This work describes a new technique that uses infrared satellite imagery to examine the evolution of the tropical cyclone daily cycle for all Atlantic major hurricanes from 2001-2010. The imagery reveals cyclical pulses in the cloud field that regularly move outward from the hurricane each day. These pulses begin near the hurricane’s center at about sunset each day […]
Typhoon Ike as it restrengthens over the South China Sea (NASA) On September 1, 1984, Typhoon Ike (or Nitang from the Philippine’s name list) tore into the central Philippines, leaving a trail of death behind. Ike formed from a disturbance in the monsoon trough south of the Mariannas on August 21st. It meandered as a […]
