AOML's Hurricane Research Division (HRD) scientists are engaged on several fronts of reasearch into hurricanes. These investigations involve theoretical studies, computer modeling, and the collection and examination of measurements taken in actual hurricanes. The ultimate goal is to improve scientific understanding of how and why hurricanes form, strengthen, and dissipate, which will lead to improved forecasting of tropical weather and mitigation of damage from the hurricane's destructive power.
