The study introduces a new database that is freely available and consists of over 900 airborne Doppler radar analyses collected between 1997–2020. We demonstrate the capabilities of the database by identifying how the structure of hurricanes changes depending on the strength of the storm, which provides a foundation for future research avenues and computer model … Continue reading Paper describing large new airborne Doppler radar dataset in tropical cyclones released online in Monthly Weather Review

Paper on observations of updrafts in hurricanes from NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft published in The Journal of Geophysical Research
This study uses NOAA airborne Doppler radar data to tie together the many different characteristics of convective rainband updrafts that have been documented, both by observations and from modeling studies. The results help shed light on how these updraft circulations are organized and what underlying dynamics might contribute to the observed organization. You can access … Continue reading Paper on observations of updrafts in hurricanes from NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft published in The Journal of Geophysical Research
HRD Seminar – Dr. Andrew Hazelton (CIMAS/HRD) – 9 February 2022
Dr. Hazelton presented a seminar titled “Examining Hurricane Dorian's Early Intensification and Long-term Track Evolution Through an Ensemble of the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System”. ABSTRACT: Hurricane Dorian (2019) was one of the strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic basin, and caused significant devastation across the northern Bahamas as it stalled out as a … Continue reading HRD Seminar – Dr. Andrew Hazelton (CIMAS/HRD) – 9 February 2022

Study on how Hurricane Dorian organized before rapidly intensifying published in Monthly Weather Review
This study showed that a weak, disorganized tropical system in an environment that is not primed for intensification can develop a new center where conditions are more favorable for intensification. The ability to observe the center of circulation, the tilt of the vortex with height, the depth of the vortex, the wind shear, and locations … Continue reading Study on how Hurricane Dorian organized before rapidly intensifying published in Monthly Weather Review
