Viewers take a trip above the earth's atmosphere to learn about weather around the world. Students will come to understand the relationship between water, air and heat and how they interact to make weather happen. The terms atmosphere,...

Can hurricanes be accurately modeled in a computer?

This clip offers a brief introduction to the States in the Southeastern Region of the United States.

A hurricane is a huge storm with powerful winds and lots of rain. They can be up to 600 miles across, and make a spiraling shape.

Hurricanes are formed over water in tropical areas, and use warm water as energy. They can move...

The Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware aims to help communities become as prepared as possible for unplanned, sometimes unthinkable events. The Center's work and guidelines have been adopted by the Federal Emergency...

In the United States, there are two different groups of hurricane hunters that fly into tropical storms and hurricanes to gather weather data. They use different planes and fly different patterns, but they all collect data in tropical...
