Study Provides New Approach to Forecast Hurricane Intensity
Description: New research suggests that physical conditions at the air-sea interface, where the ocean and atmosphere meet, is a key component to improve forecast models. This study shows that a type of instability may help explain rapid intensification of some tropical storms and offers a new method to aid in storm intensity prediction of hurricanes.
