As Hurricane Beryl reached unprecedented wind speeds to become the earliest Category Five hurricane in the Atlantic basin, it stressed the need for greater emergency preparedness to mitigate the deadly impact of these storms. Dan Cotter, Executive Director of S&T’s Office of Science and Engineering, discusses the importance of understanding data trends and proactive strategies in his latest guest blog post. Discover how the EMOTR Program is enhancing our emergency management capabilities to safeguard our future. Read more: https://bit.ly/3S3phKq

This is a real-time forecast of damage risk to the envelope system of an engineered building that lies in the path of an imminent hurricane. Based on state-of-the-art performance-based wind engineering and metamodeling, comprehensive real-time information on damage risks can be obtained in seconds. This information can be used by emergency response and management teams to make informed decisions. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dZ-6k6C7] U-M CEE

This is a great way to collect data.
Saildrone and NOAA kicked off the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Mission early this year, with Saildrone Explorer SD-1041 intercepting the edge of Hurricane Beryl about 100 nm south of Puerto Rico. As it approached the northern edge of the then category 5 hurricane, SD-1041 experienced increased windspeeds and significant wave height, along with a decrease in pressure and several rapid decreases in air temperature from associated rain bands. Data snapshot of the intercept: 📉Lowest pressure measured: 1009.67 hPa 🌊Largest sustained waves observed: 7.79 m 💨Strongest winds measured: 43.6 kts sustained, gusts 53.48 kts SD-1041 is one of 12 Explorers in the mission this summer to do hurricane research this season. Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) NOAA Research Note: The wind gusts stated in this video were actually 34.78 kn. The sustained winds were 28.4 kn.
