NASA's Hurricane expert Dr. Jeff Halverson explains how NASA's GRIP mission is keeping a close eye on Hurricane Earl and other storms over the Atlantic. Scientists use data collected from NASA's DC-8, Global Hawk and WB-57 aircraft...

A new modeling approach using satellite data will likely to enhance our ability to develop cholera risk maps in several regions of the globe. The model (GCRM) is based on monthly air temperature, precipitation, availability...

The U.S. hasn’t experienced the landfall of a Category 3 hurricane or larger since 2005, when Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma all hit the U.S. coast. According to a new NASA study, a string of nine years without a major...

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Gulf Coast. Five years later, NASA revisits the storm with a short video that shows Katrina as captured by satellites. Before and during the hurricane's landfall, NASA...

A short video profile of Janel Thomas. She was a member of NASA's Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign in 2010 where she operated the dropsonde instrument onboard NASA's DC-8 aircraft. She was a part of...

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission to provide next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will...

A look back at the snowstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes and floods captured and analyzed by the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission from around the globe during 2015....

This video is answering the question of how are hurricanes formed.

NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core observatory satellite flew over Tropical Storm Florence on September 7, 2018. At that time, the storm was experiencing strong wind shear. The storm...

WUSA 9 Chief Meteorologist Topper Shutt answers viewers questions about how he uses GOES satellite data to accurately predict the weather.



On March 4th, 2010, NASA launched GOES-P (soon to be re-named GOES-15), the last...

Exactly a month ago on June 27, 2009. NASA launched a new and improved weather satellite called GOES-O. Now that GOES-O is safely into its orbit, it has been renamed to GOES-14. Today, we visited NOAA's Satellite Operations Facility in...

Earth's climate system has been remarkably stable over the last 20,000 years or so. Human civilization developed in that time span, and our world's average temperature warmed by about 5 degrees C to the temperature it is today. This...

More than six months after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is still struggling to recover from the devastation. Thousands of homes and businesses have no electricity and are waiting for insurance payouts. Frontline services are being denied...

The GOES-O satellite is set for launch in 2009, and will be the latest in a series of satellites that have forecasted the development of severe weather for over 25 years. Operated by NOAA and launched by NASA, GOES-O will continue...

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of Hurricane Danielle on August 26 at 1555 UTC. At this time, she was a category 2 storm with winds of 90 knots and...
