I build spaceships and I control the weather! Our NASA award-winning technology will deliver earlier, 2X more accurate hurricane forecasts and improve all weather forecast models to reduce the cost of climate events.
Have you noticed how much chatter there is about RI lately? Here is another article, this one from the Los Angeles Times. RI (Rapid Intensification) is when a hurricane's maximum sustained wind increases by 35 mph or more in a 24-hour period. It is imperative that we get improve our observation and forecast capabilities. Tropical Weather Analytics, Inc. Hurricane Hunter Satellites will be the very first sats to collect vertical wind data at +/- 1 meter per second at 100 meter scale. Current satellites collect wind data at 1km to 2km scale. Think about this for a moment. That is an improvement of 10 to 20X over current technology! Now also consider that these will be the only satellites to measure cloud altitudes at sufficient resolution to model hurricanes as a Carnot Engine. This method of modeling over the current Dvorak and Advanced Dvorak will reduce hPa uncertainty by at least half. The Hurricane Hunter Satellites are the best tool for forecasting RI. I wish someone was listening. These sats should have been in orbit YEARS ago. NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service https://lnkd.in/eVKMhvTw

Hurricane Beryl is the earliest Cat5 ever seen during a Hurricane Season. New research shows that although climate change is providing more fuel, it may also weaken their seeds in the future. Atlantic hurricanes have pre-cursors that form as waves in the air currents that travel west from Africa. As the climate warms, it allows more moisture to be held in the air. This affects the north African air currents, narrowing and shifting the African easterly jet poleward, reducing the kinetic energy available to the African easterly wave and weaker seeds spreading across the Atlantic.

FEATURE: Hurricane Ian flight invents metric for turbulence As a result of the extreme turbulence experienced by NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s WP-3D Orion Hurricane Hunter aircraft ‘Kermit’ (NOAA42) flight through Hurricane Ian, researchers have created new metrics to better quantify turbulence. The flight, which took place on September 28, 2022, reportedly ranked as the top 10 flights in Hurricane Hunter history, and potentially the most turbulent ever on a Hurricane Hunter aircraft, at least in the past 20 years. Metrics for turbulence already exist, but most of those only represent vertical motion and focus on atmospheric properties rather than what happens to occupants. “We wanted… to have a 3D turbulence metric and one that describes the human experience,” said Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Joshua Wadler.

NOAA Releases Updated 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook FriendsofNASA.org: Due to current ocean and atmospheric conditions, such as record-warm sea surface temperatures, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center—a division of the National Weather Service—has increased their prediction for the ongoing 2023 Atlantic hurricane season to an “above normal” level of activity from a “near normal” level with their most recent update. The outlook now includes a 70% chance of 14-21 named storms, of which 6-11 could become hurricanes, and 2-5 could become major hurricanes. The updated outlook also states that current conditions are likely to counterbalance the usually limiting atmospheric conditions associated with the ongoing El Niño event. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is a Washington, D.C.–based scientific and regulatory agency within the United States Department of Commerce, a United States federal government department. The agency is charged with forecasting weather, monitoring oceanic and atmospheric conditions, charting the seas, conducting deep sea exploration, and managing fishing and protection of marine mammals and endangered species in the U.S. exclusive economic zone. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) NOAA GOES weather satellites provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. They circle the Earth in a geosynchronous orbit, which means they orbit the equatorial plane of the Earth at a speed matching the Earth's rotation. This allows them to hover continuously over one position on the surface. The geosynchronous plane is about 35,800 km (22,300 miles) above the Earth, high enough to allow the satellites a full-disc view of the Earth. Because GOES satellites stay above a fixed spot on the surface, they provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes. When these conditions develop the GOES satellites are able to monitor storm development and track their movements. GOES satellite imagery is also used to estimate rainfall during the thunderstorms and hurricanes for flash flood warnings, as well as estimates snowfall accumulations and overall extent of snow cover. Such data help meteorologists issue winter storm warnings and spring snow melt advisories. Satellite sensors also detect ice fields and map the movements of sea and lake ice.

The Atlantic hurricane season, which peaks in late August, is shaping up to be more active than normal this year, with federal forecasters now predicting 14 to 21 named storms. Experts explain how climate change affects hurricanes and typhoons, where hurricanes are likely to make landfall and bring damaging winds in the future. #hurricane #storms #climatechange https://loom.ly/1PlT1do

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) published a page addressing various ideas in regard to tropical cyclone manipulation. In 2007, "How to stop a hurricane"[20] explored various ideas such as: Using lasers to discharge lightning in storms which are likely to become hurricanes Pouring liquid nitrogen onto the sea to deprive the hurricane of heat energy. Creating soot to absorb sunlight and change air temperature and create convection currents in the outer wall. Researchers from NOAA's hurricane research division addressed hurricane control based ideas.[21] Later ideas (2017) include laser inversion along the same lines as laser cooling (normally used at cryogenic temperatures) but intended to cool the top 1mm of water. If enough power were to be used then it may be enough, combined with computer modelling, to form an interference pattern able to inhibit a hurricane or significantly reduce its strength by depriving it of heat energy.[22][23] Other proposals for hurricane modification include the construction of a large array of offshore wind turbines along the East Coast of the United States. Such turbines would have the dual purpose of generating plentiful energy whilst also reducing the power of oncoming hurricanes before they make landfall.

Will hurricanes get more intense in a warmer climate? Scientists are looking into how moisture in the atmosphere might affect the growth of hurricane “seeds.” Increased atmospheric moisture may alter critical weather patterns over Africa, making it more difficult for the predecessors of many Atlantic hurricanes to form, according to a new study led by NSF NCAR scientist Kelly Nunez Ocasio, PhD.

JUL 1, 2024 - BY AUDREY MERKET - NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research, "Increased #atmosphericmoisture produced weaker hurricane formation ---- Increased atmospheric moisture may alter critical #weatherpatterns over Africa, making it more difficult for the predecessors of many #Atlantichurricanes to form, according to a new study (https://lnkd.in/ePxmC7AB) published this month. The research team, led by scientists from the U.S. NCAR, used an innovative model that allows for higher-resolution simulations of hurricane formation than ever before. This allowed researchers to study the effects of increased regional moisture over Africa, which is the birthplace of #weathersystems that later produce #hurricanes over the #Atlantic. Past research has suggested that warmer #oceanwater and a moister atmosphere could cause hurricanes to become more intense with greater amounts of #rainfall. But how atmospheric moisture, which is predicted to increase in a #warmingclimate, may be impacting #hurricaneformation itself has not been studied in detail until now. The researchers found that a moister environment produced weaker and slower-moving African easterly waves, or disturbances which are the primary precursor or “seed” for hurricanes in the Atlantic. The addition of moisture moved the location of thunderstorms within the wave, making it harder for the wave to grow. Increased moisture also slowed the movement of the wave resulting in weaker and delayed hurricane seed formation by the time it reached eastern Atlantic waters. “Considerable work during the last two decades has emphasized the role of deep moist convection to explain the development of African easterly waves,” said NSF NCAR scientist and lead author Kelly Núñez Ocasio. “But, the precise role of moisture has proven somewhat elusive. With the development of new modeling capabilities, I was able to focus on the role of moisture in cyclogenesis stemming from the hurricane seed.” NEXT-GEN MODELING ...The birth of hurricanes and other #tropicalcyclones, known as #cyclogenesis, is a complex process where small-scale weather events and large-scale atmospherics happen simultaneously. This complexity has made it difficult to study and model the formation of tropical cyclones. Most #climatemodels provide only a grainy picture of what is happening with localized #weather, which makes it difficult to learn anything about the role of individual ingredients, like moisture, that mix together to create cyclogenesis. To address this, the research team turned to the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) (https://lnkd.in/emat3vUr). MPAS has the ability to model weather both locally and globally. This capability allowed Núñez Ocasio and her colleagues to zoom out and simulate #globalmoisture and then zoom in to see how that would interact with localized weather events that lead to the formation of tropical cyclones..." #climate #climatescience #climatechange Continue reading
