Studying Storms from Air and Space

Technology we’ve developed is helping study the movement of storms.  

From satellites that can slice through a hurricane with 3-D vision to computer models of gale force winds, scientists now have unprecedented ways of viewing extreme weather.

This August, we’re sending an unmanned aircraft called a Global Hawk to study hurricanes. This mission is called the “East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes,” or EPOCH. It will fly over developing tropical storms to investigate how they progress and intensify. 

The three instruments aboard this Global Hawk aircraft will map out 3-D patterns of temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation and wind speed as well as the role of the East Pacific Ocean in global cyclone formation. These measurements will help scientists better understand the processes that control storm intensity and the role of the East Pacific Ocean in global cyclone formation.

To better understand hurricane formation and intensity, scientists also utilize models and other observations.

Satellites such as our Global Precipitation Measurement Mission, or GPM, and computer models can analyze key stages of storm intensification.  

In September 2016, GPM captured Hurricane Matthew’s development from a Category 1 to Category 5 hurricane in less than 24 hours.  

Extreme rainfall was seen in several stages of the storm, causing significant flooding and landslides when it passed by Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

By combining model and observed data, scientists can analyze storms like never before. They can also better understand how hurricanes and other powerful storms can potentially impact society.

They’re pandering to young people by spoofing the meme about pandering to young people. My mind has touched the void.

this is the funniest thing ive ever seen like theres so so so much detail in it

*doesnt understand a post*

*looks at notes and tries to find comments*

do u ever think about someone and ur like: i wanna take care of them so hard??? i want to be their #1 supporter especially during times when they think no one believes in them. i want to comfort them when their thoughts are too loud and i’ll stay up with them all night until they drift off into a peaceful sleep in my arms. like u just wanna b there for them???? and love them endlessly????? and give them affection and so much love that they have never received????

some self care tips

things i do on my lower days to feel less icky, from me to you:

brush or tie your hair; ponytails and buns are quick and easy, headbands are good too

clip your nails; grit gets me down, so clipping my nails makes me feel like i have a fresh start

bathe/shower; if you can’t get up the energy, at least rinse your feet and wash your face

try to use soap either way, good smells lift spirits

moisturize; have some lotion in the bathroom or keep some lip balm in your pocket

don’t wear baggy/loose clothes; t-shirts are fine, but slightly tighter pants/shorts make me feel less lazy and more mobile

put on slippers or socks

sit outside/open up a window for some fresh air or turn on a fan

clean your room; sounds hard, but even a tiny corner of it is good

put on some soft music

or put on the soundtrack to a musical and sing along

eat a light breakfast

heat up the food you’re eating if it’s usually eaten hot

keep a light snack handy; a small pack of gummy bears, some fruits, crackers, whatever makes you feel good, but try to cut down on grease or heavy flavoring

DRINK WATER! stay hydrated! add some honey if you like but please drink lots of water!!

feel free to add more to this list if you have any personal tips and tricks!

Hope is a weapon. Survival is victory.
