Frank Marks presents seminar on a new model to predict rainfall in tropical cyclones to NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center
Abstract: Heavy precipitation is a major hazard in landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs). Historically, heavy rainfall has caused freshwater floods and mudslides during TC landfalls, accounting for 27% of deaths, and devastating property. Hence, improving current TC rainfall forecasts is indispensable. A new TC rainfall model is described that provides five-day probabilistic forecasts of extreme rainfall […]

HRD kicks off 2021 Hurricane Field Program
Scientists from AOML and other agencies participating in NOAA’s 2021 Hurricane Field Program’s Advancing the Prediction of Hurricanes Experiment (APHEX) met on 26 May to kick off the season. APHEX was developed in partnership with NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center, National Hurricane Center, Aircraft Operations Center, and AOML’s Physical Oceanography Division. It is intended to improve […]
HRD scientists participate in the 34th American Meteorological Society Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology
34th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology Virtual Meeting The 34th AMS Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology was held virtually 10-14 May after being postponed from 2020. This is the premiere meeting for operational and research scientists who work on understanding and forecasting tropical cyclones and other tropical weather around the world. HRD scientist […]
Paper on how the ocean allowed for the intensification of Hurricane Michael to category-5 status before landfall published in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Oceans
Ocean observations showed very warm water at the surface and below, and computer simulations show that these ocean conditions supported intensification despite unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
