14 days of emergency supplies on hand that will be needed if a hurricane strikes.” The Central Pacific Hurricane Center continuously monitors weather conditions, employing a network of satellites, land- and ocean-based sensors, and aircraft reconnaissance missions operated by NOAA and its partners...
Some of the first features that scientists noticed in April 1960 after NASA launched TIROS-1, the first weather satellite, were peculiar hexagonal “cells” that appeared in clouds over the ocean. With diameters ranging from 50 to 100 kilometers (30 to 60 miles), the features were large...
The model, forced with daily satellite fluxes, shows that the diurnal warming is largest within the equatorial Pacific cold tongue of SST. The strong persistent SST front north of the cold tongue is evident in both the oceanic and atmospheric boundary-layer stability scales and, as a consequence...

NASA's RapidScat instrument spied tropical-storm-force winds in a weather system affecting the Pacific Northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada on Sunday, March 6 and Monday, March 7. NOAA's GOES-West satellite provided an infrared look at the clouds associated with the system that blanketed...
Nearly 100 dead or missing after Hurricane Otis hit Mexico, officials say Hurricane Otis "was the strongest hurricane in the East Pacific to make landfall in the satellite era," when it hit Acapulco, Mexico, last week, NOAA said. Oct 31, 2023 Show More Millions...
Hurricane Dora is seen on a satellite image taken Aug. 11, 2023. The International Date Line is highlighted in red. (NOAA) According to a NOAA database, only a handful of cyclones have completed the trek from the eastern and central regions to wind up in the Western Pacific. The latest...
Recent development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has resulted in the fruition of machine learning-based weather prediction (MLWP) systems. Five prominent global MLWP model, Pangu-Weather, FourCastNet v2 (FCN2), GraphCast, FuXi, and FengWu, e
