AOML scientists and collaborators met every weekday between mid-July through mid-October of the Atlantic hurricane season to discuss the tropical forecast and potential opportunities to conduct research. The final week of discussions was led by Kelly Ryan of the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami.
The primary topic of discussion in this week’s meetings is the long-range forecast. National Hurricane Center forecasters and Ryan noted that a tropical wave and two low pressure systems have a small potential to develop during the week of October 18-24.
Map discussions will conclude on Friday, October 16, scientists will meet on an “as needed” basis when a potential hurricane is within range of any aircraft. AOML will continue to support hurricane reconnaissance flights as they occur.
As the Atlantic hurricane season winds down, scientists will turn their attention to analyzing the data collected during the 2020 season and begin identifying gaps in knowledge to modify or plan experiments for the 2021 season.
