Paper on accomplishments of NOAA’s Hurricane Field Program and future plans publishe in The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
This review article highlights recent research from NOAA/AOML/Hurricane Research Division’s Hurricane Field Program – Intensity Forecasting Experiment (IFEX) geared to improving our understanding and forecasting of tropical cyclones (TCs). It details the accomplishments of IFEX during the 16 years of its existence, for example • describing how IFEX addressed important issues like predicting rapid intensification […]
HRD recaps flights into Hurricane Elsa
NOAA conducted six flights into Hurricane Elsa earlier in July, four with the P3s and two with the G-IV. The G-IV operational synoptic flow missions were conducted to gather information from high-levels of the atmosphere around Elsa to improve model forecasts of the storm’s track and intensity. The P3 missions were conducted to gather data […]
