Dr. Terwey presented a seminar on ” Preliminary Analysis of Convective Initiation in the Hurricane Rainband Region” ABSTRACT: Convection in mature hurricanes is affected by a variety of influences that are unique to the special environments within the vortex. We attempt to better quantify the initiation of convection outside the primary eyewall by examining the environments in which it […]
Dr. Robert Rogers spoke at the Miami Science Museum on Saturday, June 9. He presented a talk entitled “Atlantic Hurricanes – Flying into the Eye of the Storm”. He provided a general overview of hurricanes, how we observe them with aircraft, and what kinds of impacts they can have. He had many good questions, especially […]
Our 2012 IFEX Hurricane Field Program Plan is now available here. The plan includes various flight patterns and modules we will attempt to fly this season.

Dr. Robert Detrick, NOAA’s Assistant Administrator for Oceanic & Atmospheric Research visited AOML on 23 May 2012. During his visit he toured the AOML facility and met with scientists in the different divisions to better understand the research we do and issues we face. He spent time with a number of the HRD staff to learn […]
HRD held a two-day off-site science retreat at the Miami Beach Coast Guard Base. With assistance from the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (Ines DelGado, Commissioner, facilitated the retreat), HRDers discussed ways to strengthen their scientific visibility, work environment cohesiveness, and future science directions. The retreat provided an open forum for the group to explore these […]
