Paper on how the region near the ocean surface impacts hurricane forecasts released online in Monthly Weather Review
Summary: Forecasters and researchers use the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model to forecast where a hurricane will go, how strong it will be, how large it will be, and where the strongest winds are. This paper looks … Continue reading

Two-part paper on the intensification of Hurricane Edouard published in Monthly Weather Review
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 … Continue reading
HRD Seminar – Dr. Andy Hazelton, Princeton University and NOAA/GFDL – 28 October 2016
Dr. Hazelton presented a seminar on “Convective Burst Development and Evolution in Two Simulated Atlantic TCs”. Abstract Understanding the structure and evolution of the tropical cyclone (TC) inner core remains an elusive challenge in tropical meteorology, especially transient asymmetric features … Continue reading
