This video introduces the Investigating Weather series. This short exploration highlights how weather affects us all, whether it's for our leisure activities or our professional endeavors. Investigating Weather part 1/7

Scientists use a range of equipment to monitor thunderstorms and hurricanes. This animation shows how equipment including the Gill Ultrasonic Anemometer, dropwindsonde, TRMM satellite, Global Hawk, and Smart R Radar systems collect...

Both Hurricanes Elena and Juan in 1985 had tracks that made full loops. We see the track and history of these storms.

Robin Murphy, director of the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University, was on-site at Ground Zero within 24 hours of the attack. She brought along a team of students and colleagues to deploy a cadre of robots...

Chris Davis, lead scientist for PREDICT, on why predicting hurricanes is still a challenge for researchers.

Incredibly, it now seems possible that a small sailing boat can survive a trip through hurricane-strength winds and waves.

A University of Florida team is starting to gather real-time data on the impact of waves and rising water on bridges during hurricanes. Unlike studies that rely on tests in wave laboratories, this research will use data...

Well before Hurricane Maria hit the island, Puerto Rico was experiencing a deep economic crisis.<b<br/>r/>

Marie Mora, professor of economics at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, explains the roots o<br/>f “La Crisis Boricua.”

The New York City MTA closed the subway system for fear of flooding from Hurricane Irene. Underground sump pumps are activated when pressure sensors detect high water pressure. Impellers in the pumps propel the water into pipes that...

This live-action video program is about the word planet. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word planet through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...

After hurricane Sandy, I spent time with friends and shot this footage -- study reduction of the word CAN in real life speech, and study T pronunciations.

After Hurricane Harvey in Texas, many people evacuated their homes and are now living in shelters. Leaving home during an emergency was especially difficult for parents of small children. Even though they brought supplies when they left...

Louisiana was struck by two hurricanes within six weeks in 2020. Hurricane Laura was a powerful Category 4. Hurricane Delta was a Category 2. The two hurricanes made landfall in almost the same location. Combined, they took dozens of...

This is a quiz over the topics covered in the Investigating Weather series. Topics included clouds, precipitations, air masses, weather fronts, and storms. Investigating Weather part 7/7

In 2018, Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricane Maria. It was a Category 5 storm that may have killed 3,000 people. This 90 billion-dollar extremely powerful storm was a catastrophe in property damage, destruction, and deaths due to...

Every summer, millions of tons of dust from the Sahara desert move into the Atlantic and travel westward. Here, you'll see it on satellite.

This video is answering the question of what is a hurricane.

For Earth Day 2021, we explore the connections of Earth systems and NASA's ability to observe them in a changing world, highlighting the links between dust transport, vegetation, water quality, conservation and human health,...

Two days before Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, the NASA-Japan Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory satellite captured a 3-D view of the storm. At the time...

Hurricanes form when warm humid air rises from the ocean. Convergent winds force the warm air into the atmosphere, where it releases latent heat as it condenses into clouds and rain. The exchange of the heat from the surface creates a...

The Wuhan Coronavirus, the active impeachment of a sitting US president, an earthquake and volcanic eruption in the Philippines, floods in Indonesia, the death of Kobe Bryant, magnitude 7.7 earthquakes in the Caribbean and even my...

About a thousand times a day, thunderstorms fire off fleeting bursts of some of the highest-energy light naturally found on Earth. These events, called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), last less than a millisecond and...

The HIWRAP is the High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler, a "conically scanning" Doppler radar, meaning it scans in a cone-shaped manner. Wind measurements are crucial for understanding and forecasting tropical storms...

This video explores the impact of hurricanes on coastal cities and how building design needs to adapt in the face of worsening weather conditions. Through the perspective of a specialist architect and a survivor of the 2008 Hurricanes in...
