On Posted onJuly 1, 2020 by AOML Communications to Hurricane Research A recent study published in the journal Atmosphere evaluated for the first time, how well NOAA’s regional hurricane model was able to forecast the location and amount of devastating rainfall in 2017’s Hurricane Harvey. The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model predicted the realistic total rainfall and the location of […]
First NOAA Florida Diversity & Inclusion Workshop Held Virtually The first ever NOAA Florida Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Workshop was held virtually on Tuesday, June 2, 2020. Despite not being able to have personal interaction, we had a successful event with a variety of topics presented by outstanding speakers and panelists with decades of combined […]
As we move through the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season, you will no doubt hear a lot about the Saharan Air Layer—a mass of very dry, dusty air that forms over the Sahara Desert during the late spring, summer and early fall. This layer can travel and impact locations thousands of miles away from its African […]
Hurricane Harvey brought up to 5 feet of rainfall to Texas and Louisiana in just a few days in 2017. The strongest rainfall typically happens near the center (eye) of a hurricane. Hurricane Harvey’s rainfall was unusually located far away from the eye. These unusual events make it difficult for forecast models to correctly predict […]
The main purpose of this research is to determine how consumer stockpiling (or precautionary buying) behavior, as well as storm and retail characteristics, impact the availability of essential supplies at retailers following a hurricane.

June’s science meeting consisted of six presentations: Jason Sippel: “Some thoughts about recent G-IV impact results” Sarah Ditchek: “Quantifying the Radial Impact of Dropsondes Using the Basin-Scale HWRF” Dave Nolan: “Evaluation of the Surface Wind Field Over Land in WRF Simulations of Hurricane Wilma (2005)” Lakemariam Worku: “Forecasting a Continuum Environmental Threats – Tropical Cyclone […]
Dr. Ditchek received the award for her dissertation “On the Frequency, Structure, and Characteristics of Tropical Cyclone Diurnal Pulses.” Three papers published as a result of this research can be found at https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/MWR-D-18-0368.1, https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/MWR-D-19-0129.1, and https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/MWR-D-20-0022.1. Congratulations Sarah!
