The first tropical cyclone of the season, Alex, has also
become the first major hurricane of the season, and NASA has the resources reporters need to cover it and those to follow: video, satellite pictures, research data, and hurricane specialists.

NASA Television can be seen in the continental United States on AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, Transponder 9, 3880 MHz, vertical polarization, audio at 6.8 MHz. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, NASA TV can now be seen on AMC-7, at 137 degrees west longitude, Transponder 18, at 4060 MHz, vertical polarization, audio at 6.8 MHz. For information about NASA TV on the Internet, visit:

NASA TV has a one-stop "Hurricane Resource Reel." It has
animations and video of different aspects of hurricane
research, from a hurricane's "heat engine" to El Nino's
affect on tropical cyclones. For copies of the video or to
arrange live-shot interviews with hurricane specialists,
contact Wade Sisler, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center,
Greenbelt, Md. Sisler is available at 301/286-6256.
