In 2000, NASA's MISR used 9 cameras aboard Terra to study clouds, winds and aerosols. 1 year later, scientists showed it could measure cloud heights to within 400 meters worldwide, opening new possibilities for meteorology

NASA’s MISR instrument is giving scientists a different way to study Earth’s atmosphere. Its nine cameras view the planet from different angles, revealing details that ordinary satellite images can miss. The unusual approach helps measure cloud heights, track winds and detect airborne particles such as pollution and dust. For researchers,…

The Times of India

Dolly Parton died, next Atlantic storm could share her name. Here’s why

The next Atlantic tropical storm will be named Dolly, following established naming procedures. Forecasters are monitoring a system off Africa which may strengthen into a named storm. This season is predicted to have below-average storm activity due to El Nino. Storm names are chosen for ease of pronunciation and familiarity…

In the early 1960s, developers sold 5,850 lots for a private resort on Assateague Island; one five-day storm wiped out nearly every house and helped turn it into a national seashore

Assateague Island was once planned as a major resort community with thousands of homes, roads and commercial areas. Two powerful storms changed that future. A 1933 hurricane split the island, while the 1962 Ash Wednesday storm destroyed roads and structures. The island was later protected as a National Seashore in…

Since 2012, Stanford researchers linked 2 sensor technologies to record hurricane forces near the sea surface. Now, the new data stream could help forecast storm intensity before hurricanes make landfall

Hurricane forecasting may soon get help from an unlikely place: earthquake sensors. Stanford researchers found that seismometers can detect tiny ground movements caused by hurricane pressure and turbulence near the surface. Paired with infrasound microphones, these instruments captured changes during Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana in 2012. The finding could give…
