Record breaking drone flight gathers critical data inside Hurricane Helene

One of the largest challenges in hurricane research is studying the inner dynamics of a storm. The regions within the hurricane that provide the most valuable data are often the most inaccessible and dangerous to reach, creating an opportunity for researchers to utilize emerging technology to enter the storm. Small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS), commonly […]

In the right third of the photograph, Gopal sits at a lightly-colored wooden desk. He has short black hair, a black mustache, and is wearing a black suit. He is actively presenting in a conference room and lifting his left hand to engage with the audience. Gopal's presentation titled, "Development of IOLA - Indian Ocean-Land Atmosphere Coupled mesoscale prediction System for ocean state and coastal hazards", is displayed on a large monitor that occupies the left third of the photograph. A second monitor in middle of the photograph displays the virtual meeting room used for presentation attendees to join virtually.

NOAA and India team up to create life-saving tropical cyclone forecast model for nation of a billion

A 12-year collaboration between NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and the Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) has culminated in a renewal of an Implementing Arrangement (IA) on Technical Cooperation in Development of Tropical Cyclone Numerical Weather Prediction System for the Indian Seas, which paves the way for advances in severe weather modeling.

Hurricane Beryl: Looking from sea, sky, and space

In early July, the Caribbean experienced 165 mph winds as Category 5 Hurricane Beryl swept through the region. Beryl was unprecedented, becoming the Atlantic’s earliest forming Category 5 tropical cyclone on record. The storm developed and rapidly intensified to maximum wind speed in less than four days – a behavior uncommon this early in the season. Despite the unprecedented intensification, hurricane scientists with NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory were prepared.
