Paper on a way to initialize idealized hurricane models published in the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Computer models developed to forecast the weather need to know what is currently happening in the atmosphere and in the ocean, what we call “initial conditions,” each time the model starts. The process of making these initial conditions is known as “initialization.” This study is about a new initialization method for both the atmosphere and …
10th Anniversary of Aerosonde flying into hurricane-force winds
On November 2, 2007, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Aerosonde flew into Tropical Storm Noel. This marks the first time a UAV flew into an Atlantic tropical cyclone while encountering hurricane-force winds. The flying probe was produced by the Australian-based Aerosonde Pty Ltd. (now Textron Systems) which had been manufacturing sensors since 1995. It reached …
