Today marks the last day of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, and it was a busy one for us. AOML’s Hurricane Research Division (HRD) participated in 57 missions into six different tropical cyclones: Colin, Earl, Javier (East Pacific), Hermine, Karl, and Matthew. From early June to the start of October, HRD personnel either flew on-board […]
Summary: Hurricane Edouard (2014) is examined using radar onboard NOAA P-3 aircraft that flew the storm. Two periods are shown, one when the storm was intensifying to a major hurricane and the other when the storm was weakening. The location of strong thunderstorms, and how they changed over time, is examined to see if there […]
On October 18, 1996, Hurricane Lili slammed into Cuba with over 100 mph (160 km/hr) winds and heavy rains. The storm, during its life cycle, would leave destruction from Central America to the British Isles. Lili formed from a tropical depression which developed on Oct. 15th in the typical breeding grounds for mid-October, the western […]

On September 11, 1961, Hurricane Carla made landfall at Port O’Connor, Texas, bringing storm surge, torrential rains, high wind gusts and tornadoes to northern Texas and Louisiana. Carla was the first tropical cyclone to have its entire life history recorded by research flights. Carla formed from a persistent area of disturbed weather in the […]
On September 9, 1971, Hurricane Edith grazed Cabo Gracias a Dios as a Category 5 storm, destroying nearly every house in the area and leaving 7000 homeless. Edith caused a trail of destruction from the Antilles to Venezuela, then across Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize, Mexico, and the United States. Edith formed from a disturbance that came […]
