Study on the best way to improve forecasts using a proposed satellite-based Doppler Wind Lidar published in Monthly Weather Review
This study investigates how to get the largest improvements to tropical cyclone forecasts from wind profiles obtained from a proposed new instrument, a Doppler Wind Lidar, on polar-orbiting satellites. Wind profiles have the largest impact when the tropical cyclone’s structure was changing rapidly and when the measurements were taken close to the tropical cyclone center. … Continue reading Study on the best way to improve forecasts using a proposed satellite-based Doppler Wind Lidar published in Monthly Weather Review

Tropical Storm Eta expected to strengthen while AOML supports further reconnaissance
The NOAA Hurricane Hunters resumes missions into Eta on Tuesday, November 10, once their aircraft completed routine maintenance. Hurricane scientists supporting the flights will quality control the data collected from both aircraft such that the appropriate observation coverage and measurements optimize the performance of operational weather models. Tasked by the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the … Continue reading Tropical Storm Eta expected to strengthen while AOML supports further reconnaissance
Tropical Storm Eta evokes multiple taskings to aid in its forecast
NOAA Hurricane Hunters continue reconnaissance an surveillance for Tropical Storm Eta, which threatens to bring tropical-cyclone hazards to south Florida as it restrengthens over water. The G-IV aircraft took off for its last mission into Eta at 12:30 AM EDT from Lakeland, FL, on November 8. By circumnavigating the periphery of the system, the data supplied hurricane experts … Continue reading Tropical Storm Eta evokes multiple taskings to aid in its forecast
NOAA samples the 9th rapidly intensifying storm of the Atlantic hurricane season
AOML scientists supported a mission into Hurricane Eta as it developed in the Caribbean on Sunday, November 1. The P-3 flight, tasked by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and operated out of Lakeland, FL, captured Eta as it began rapid intensification from a tropical storm into a hurricane. NOAA has sampled 8 of the 9 rapidly intensifying … Continue reading NOAA samples the 9th rapidly intensifying storm of the Atlantic hurricane season
AOML hurricane scientists observe Hurricane Zeta’s re-intensification in Gulf of Mexico
Tasked by both the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), NOAA aircraft reconnaissance continues into Hurricane Zeta on October 28, with routine missions taking off from Lakeland, FL at 4 AM EDT. Hurricane scientists supporting these flights assessed Zeta's wind and precipitation characteristics as the circulation emerged over water after making … Continue reading AOML hurricane scientists observe Hurricane Zeta’s re-intensification in Gulf of Mexico
