Ana Juracic, a graduate student with Dave Raymond from New Mexico tech University presented a seminar on “The Moist Entropy Change in Tropical Cyclones” ABSTRACT Important part of moist entropy budget is the advection of moist entropy in or out of the system, due to interaction of wind and moist entropy fields. The dropwindsonde data from several tropical storms […]
NASA’s Global Hawk flew its fifth mission over Tropical Storm Nadine. The Global Hawk took off on Sept. 26nd from Wallops Island, VA (around 6:30AM EDT) and returned 26 hours later, Sept. 27th. This is part of their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3). HRD scientists processed the dropwindsondes for this flight. The unmanned aircraft flew the flight pattern shown.
NASA’s Global Hawk flew its fourth mission over Post Tropical Storm Nadine (now classified back to Tropical Storm). The Global Hawk took off on Sept. 22nd from Wallops Island, VA (around 1PM EDT) and returned 25 hours later on Sept. 23rd. This is part of their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3). HRD scientists processed the dropwindsondes for this flight. […]
Dr. Frank Marks presented a talk on “Structure of the Eye and Eyewall of Hurricane Hugo (1989): How we improved HWRF”. The talk was based on the paper which received the OAR Outstanding Scientific Paper Award for 2010 which can be found here. The presentation (available here) links the research described in the paper to improvements made to the operational […]
NASA’s Global Hawk continues to sample Tropical Storm Nadine. The Global Hawk took off on Sept. 19th from Wallops Island, VA (around 2PM EDT) and return 25 hours later on Sept. 20th. This is part of their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3). HRD scientists processed the dropwindsondes for this flight. The unmanned aircraft flew the flight pattern and launch […]

NASA’s Global Hawk is scheduled to took off this morning from Wallops Island, VA (around 10AM EDT) to sample Tropical Storm Nadine in the mid-Atlantic. This is part of their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3). HRD scientists will be processing the dropwindsondes for this flight. The flight is approximately 24 hours long and will land back in Wallops Island, VA. The unmanned […]
Robert Rogers and Jason Dunion are members of the NASA’s HS3 Science Team and are involved with coordination and flight planning for HS3 Global Hawk Missions with NOAA P-3 and G-IV hurricane research and operational missions. Michael Black and a number of other HRD and NOAA scientists are involved in the collection and analysis of dropsondes […]
NASA’s Global Hawk took off early this morning from Wallops Island, VA (around 7AM EDT) to sample Tropical Depression 14 in the mid-Atlantic. This is part of their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3). HRD scientists will be processing the dropwindsondes for this flight. The flight is approximately 26 hours long and will land back in Wallops Island, VA. The unmanned aircraft […]
