Hurricane Studies

by |Published

A lot of scientists all over the world observed the physics of the hurricane that struck th Southeast this past week. Katrina’s largest damage resulted from the rain it deposited as it struck land and slowed.
“The BBC has a nice article reviewing the imaging and understanding of Katrina”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4197096.stm. In particle, I like the photo that shows “how warm water fuels the hurricane”:http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/wp-content/uploads/40742000/gif/_40742400_hurricane_inf416.gif.
