Paper that reviews what we know about intensity change published in Atmosphere
This paper is an overview of what we currently know about processes important in tropical cyclone intensity change and the research that has been done during the past 15 years using aircraft data. The paper describes the eye and eyewall and how they change in time, the region close to the ocean surface where the […]

HRD Monthly Science Meeting of April 2021
April’s science meeting consisted of four presentations: Xiaomin Chen: “Boundary Layer Recovery and Precipitation Symmetrization Preceding Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclones under Shear” Andy Hazelton: “HAFS Ensemble of Hurricane Dorian (2019): Early Intensity and Long-Term Track” Jon Zawislak: “Accomplishments of NOAA’s Airborne Hurricane Field Program and a Broader Future Approach to Forecast Improvement” Kathryn Sellwood: […]
HRD scientists participate in annual AVAPS Users Group Meeting
The annual meeting, held online this year, brings together developers and users of the Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System, the basis of the dropwindsondes released in and around tropical cyclones each summer since 1997. The AVAPS dropsondes are released from NOAA and Air Force aircraft to measure high-resolution profiles of temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind […]
AOML holds virtual open house
AOML recently hosted a series of webinars about what AOML does and how it contributes to scientific advancement across the globe. You can catch Jon Zawislak, Rob Rogers, Joe Cione, and Shirley Murillo talking about hurricanes, or listen in on recordings of panels on coasts and coral reefs, and ocean research, and even a panel […]
Healther Holbach participates in SHORELINE21 Workshop
Dr. Heather Holbach participated in the SHared Operation REsearch Logistics In the Nearshore Environment (SHORELINE21) Workshop on April 26-27, 2021. This workshop brought together experts from the fields of wind/coastal engineering, atmospheric science, oceanography, ecology, emergency management, and crisis communications to discuss field and laboratory research related to landfalling hurricanes, with a focus on reducing […]
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society highlights paper on the NASA JPL Tropical Cyclone Information System
HRD scientists Frank Marks, Hua Leighton, and Sundararaman Gopalakrishnan worked on making this system reality.
Paper looking at how model forecasts of what is happening near the ocean surface in tropical cyclones changes as the space between forecast points gets smaller published in Monthly Weather Review
The energy that fuels tropical cyclones comes from heat and moisture from the warm ocean below. This energy is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere and the momentum is transported from atmosphere to surface by what we call turbulent processes in the atmosphere near the ocean surface (what we call the planetary boundary layer […]
