Congratulations to HRD scientists for winning the 2010 OAR Outstanding Scientific Paper Award
HRD Director Frank Marks, along with affiliated scientist Mike Montgomery, and former HRDers Peter Black and Bob Burpee, have won the 2010 OAR Outstanding Scientific Paper Award for Weather and Water for their study of Structure of the Eye and Eyewall of Hurricane Hugo (1989) that appeared in Monthly Weather Review in 2008. Congratulations!

About Us
The Hurricane Research Division (HRD) is a part of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) on Virginia Key, FL. AOML is a part of the Oceanic and Atmospherc Research (OAR) office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States Government’s Department of Commerce (DOC).
HRD began fifty years ago as the National Hurricane Research Project and has, under various names, continued to conduct scientific research into hurricanes and related tropical weather phenomena, using theoretical studies, computer models, and an annual field program employing NOAA hurricane research aircraft. This research has resulted in a deeper, scientific understanding and in numerous practical applications which have improved forecasts. HRD employs meteorolgists, computer scientists, and other professionals, who collaborate with other governmental and academic scientists worldwide in this ongoing effort to advanced scientific knowledge and increase public safety.
