Scientists now have the answer with new flight bumpiness measurement system /hurricane-scientists-make-bumpiness-measurement-system/ Wed, 02 Apr 2025 17:23:04 +0000 /?p=97895 Original article published by NOAA Research on March 31, 2025. Hurricane researchers know bumpy flights better than anyone else, but, after a particularly turbulent flight into Hurricane Ian, scientists were left wondering if it was the bumpiest flight on record aboard a NOAA WP-3D Orion hurricane hunter aircraft.  This question led scientists to develop a […]

]]> New NOAA system ushers in next generation of hurricane modeling, forecasting /new-noaa-system-ushers-next-generation-of-hurricane-modeling/ Mon, 13 Jan 2025 20:22:31 +0000 /?p=95752 Originally published on noaa.gov on January 13th, 2025. Accurate forecasts and early warnings from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center (NHC) — a division of NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) — are vital to safeguarding communities that are in the paths of hurricanes and tropical storms.  As we kick off the new year, now is the perfect time to look back […]

]]> Scientists at AOML Discover Atlantic Niño Fuels the Most Intense and Destructive Tropical Cyclones  /scientists-discover-atlantic-nino-fuels-the-most-intense-and-destructive-tropical-cyclones/ Thu, 29 Jun 2023 12:55:27 +0000 /?p=61303 Scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) found that Atlantic Niño, the Atlantic counterpart of the Pacific El Niño, increases the formation of tropical cyclones off the coast of West Africa, also known as Cape (Cabo) Verde hurricanes. The study published in Nature Communications is the first to investigate the links between Atlantic Niño/Niña and seasonal Atlantic tropical cyclone activity and the associated physical mechanisms.

]]> Scientists Observe Rainfall Under Tropical Cyclones Reduces Sea Surface Cooling /rainfall-under-tropical-cyclones/ Thu, 19 May 2022 17:34:14 +0000 /?p=32094 Tropical cyclones intensify by extracting heat energy from the ocean surface, making the sea surface temperature under storms crucial for storm development. A recent study by researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory found that large amounts of rain under tropical cyclones can reduce the sea surface cooling induced by them.
