August’s science meeting consisted of 5 presentations: Jason Sippel: “Examining impact of recon in operational HWRF” Steve Diaz: “Demonstration of solver-independent regridding operation for a moving hurricane nest” Joe Cione: “Infrared Sea Surface Temperature Measurements from Hurricane Edouard (2014) using GPS dropsondes” John Kaplan: “Hurricane Franklin (2017): A Preliminary Look from a Global Hawk-P3 Perspective” […]
Summary: Scatterometers are instruments on aircraft or satellites that are used to measure wind speed and direction at the ocean surface. In this follow-up to a 2016 study, the surface wind in tropical cyclones around the world are studied using a large set of measurements from 2000 to 2011. The impact of tropical cyclone intensity, […]

The Greater Miami Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) held their meeting Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at the AOML Laboratory. The featured speaker was Dr. Frank Marks, Director of the AOML/Hurricane Research Division. Dr. Marks presented a seminar on “Landfalling Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Distributions”. Abstract: Rainfall-induced freshwater flooding associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) […]
HRD and AOML scientists participated in the 71st Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference/Tropical Cyclone Operations and Research Forum.
