en-us News from the NASA GES DISC Hurricane http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hurricane/ The Hurricane Data Analysis Tool (formerly TRMM QuikSCAT Analysis) has now incorporated NCEP Reanalysis data. Users can now generate on-the-fly visualizations for hurricane events and overlay some of the following parameters: sea level pressure, sea surface temperature, winds and precipitation. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hurricane/trmm_quikscat_analysis.shtml 2008-03-13 User's can now create wind speed plots, along with wind vectors, using the TRMM-QuikSCAT analysis tool! http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hurricane/trmm_quikscat_analysis.shtml 2008-01-08 The GES DISC will participate in the AGU Fall 2007 Meeting in San Francisco, December 10-14, including 17 papers highlighting recent developments in the Hydrology, AIRS, Giovanni, and Hurricane portals, as well as the A-Train Data Depot, Atmospheric Composition DISC, and other projects. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/conferences/agu_2007.shtml 2007-11-13 The online tool allows users to visualize and analyze NASA's daily QuikSCAT ocean surface wind, TRMM precipitation and TRMM TMI sea surface temperature data. Data from January 1, 1998 through August 31, 2007 is now available. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hurricane/trmm_quikscat_analysis.shtml 2007-10-10 http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/daac-bin/hurr_archive.pl 2007-09-24 http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/hurricane/HurricaneViewer.shtml 2007-09-18 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/081407-FirstHurricaneof07.shtml 2007-08-14 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/051007-FirstStormNamed.shtml 2007-05-10 Our Hurricane Portal now provides kmz files for all hurricanes in our hurricane image gallery archive using 3-hourly data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. These kmz files allow you to display hurricanes going back to 2002 in Google Earth. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/032907-googleearth.shtml 2007-03-29 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/020307-StormsInFlorida.shtml 2007-02-03 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/011707-GoogleEarthForHurricane.shtml 2007-01-17 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/112806-GoogleEarthForKatrina.shtml 2006-11-28 The GES DISC Hurricane Portal group created AIRS visualization products using the vertical temperature profile and water column density profile from the Retreival Support product. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/101906-AirsProfilesForFlorence.shtml 2006-10-19 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/101206-IsaacMODIS.shtml 2006-10-12 The DISC has created an application for animating a hurricanes path, its varying levels of intensity and atmospheric information occurring at the time of the event. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/092506-HurrViewer.shtml 2006-09-25 http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/news/091906-CloudsatHeleneAndGordon.shtml 2006-09-19 Gordon has gained strength and is now a category 1 hurricane. It is located approximately 26.0N 57.9W and is expected to gain strength to a category 2 in the near future.
