On October 29, 2012, Extratropical Cyclone Sandy (dubbed Superstorm Sandy by the media) made landfall at Brigatine, New Jersey bringing a massive storm surge to New Jersey and New York. It was the costliest storm for that hurricane season and the second costliest in recorded history. It was also an extraordinary study in complex transitions […]
Two stories in the current issue of the newsletter are about the great work Shirley has been doing. In the first, Shirley and others participated in the recent Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) annual meeting in Salt Lake City, and staffed the NOAA booth at the meeting. A second article […]
It has been believed that tropical cyclones are likely to strengthen when strong thunderstorms (called convection) almost completely surround the storm’s center. In order to better understand what prevents this convection from surrounding the storm’s center in some storms (but not others), this study analyzes data collected on NOAA aircraft flights in two storms that […]
HRD researchers discussed the results from the 17 P-3, 13 G-IV, and 51 AF WC-130 missions into Hurricanes Irma, Jose, and Maria (3-8 September 2017). The agenda for the discussion was: HRD/AOML support for EMC operations (Paul Reasor) TDR-related issues, resolved and continuing (John Gamache) Data impacts on HWRF forecasts (Jason Sippel) Open discussion of […]

On the afternoon of October 13, 1947, an Air Force B-17 aircraft penetrated a hurricane 415 miles (667 km) east of Jacksonville and dumped several pounds of crushed dry ice into the storm, just to see what would happen. This was the first attempt to modify a tropical cyclone by seeding it with freezing nuclei. […]
