While the relatively quiet 2013 Atlantic hurricane season produced the fewest hurricanes on record since 1982, ranking it the sixth least-active season since 1950, this didn’t stop the Hurricane Research Division (HRD) of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) from having a successfully active season of data collection. As part of HRD’s annual Hurricane Field Program, […]
On December 16, 1953, a Navy Typhoon Tracker aircraft was lost while on a routine reconnaissance mission into Typhoon Doris in the western Pacific. The PBY Privateer airplane with its nine man crew was flying out of Agana Naval Air Station on Guam and had begun its initial eye penetration at sub-cloud level (the common practice […]
An international workshop was convened by WMO/IOC Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) to discuss the “Application of Regional Ocean Observations for Increasing Society’s Understanding and Forecasting of Typhoons“. It was co-sponsored by the Key Lab of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics (SOED), Second Institute of Oceanography (SIO), State Oceanic Administration (SOA), NOAA Office of Climate Observation, and the WMO. It was hosted […]
