NASA's Hurricane Severe Storms Sentinel (HS3) Mission is in full-swing and one of the unmanned Global Hawk aircraft investigate Tropical Storm Nadine on Sept. 14 and 15, while NASA satellites continued to obtain imagery of the storm as seen from space. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a true-color image of Hurricane Nadine in the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 16 at 1345 UTC (9:45 a.m. EDT) while NASA's Global Hawk was flying around the...
redOrbit Meteorologist Joshua Kelly Big Story Weather from September 12: A marginally busy day yesterday as a few places in the Northern Plains got to experience their first taste of fall with some frost and freezes. Also the Colorado Rockies got a touch of winter snow falling in the area. Yesterday was quiet in that no severe weather occurred throughout the United States. Weather Outlook for September 13: The western boundary of the high pressure will bring another nice day to the...
redOrbit Meteorologist Joshua Kelly Big Story Weather from September 11: High pressure along the Mid-Atlantic region left for a very nice day across a good portion of the country again, with the exception being in South Florida and the Southwest US where the monsoon rains were found. There was one single strong wind report in Southern California. Also yesterday big things were the fire hazards through a good portion of the Northern United States and also the issuing of the first...
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new method for predicting the activity in an upcoming hurricane season that is 15% more accurate than previous models, according to their new report in the journal Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. “This approach should give policymakers more reliable information than current state-of-the-art methods,” said co-author Nagiza Samatova, an associate professor of...
Hurricane Leslie appeared to "close its eye" on NASA satellite imagery as the storm heads east of Bermuda, like a little girl shutting her eyes tight on a wild amusement ride. Often when an eye becomes cloud-filled, its a sign that the storm is weakening, and Leslie did drop from a hurricane to a tropical storm on Sept. 7. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a visible image of Hurricane Leslie on Sept. 6 at 10:45 a.m....
The Atlantic Ocean hurricane season spawned two hurricanes this week and NASA satellites have been monitoring them and providing valuable data to forecasters. NASA's TRMM satellite saw very heavy rainfall and powerful towering thunderstorms in Michael when the storm became a hurricane. Michael's wind speeds more than doubled in 24 hours and it is now a major hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Tropical Storm Michael became a hurricane on Sept. 5 and NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring...
NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Tropical Storm Leslie on Sept. 5 during a picture perfect moment, just as it was being re-classified as a hurricane, and captured two images of the storm. The National Hurricane Center issued the advisory confirming Leslie's hurricane status at 1:45 p.m. EDT after examining visible, infrared, microwave and other data from satellites. Two instruments that fly aboard NASA's Aqua satellite provided infrared and visible imagery of Leslie as it was crossing the...
NASA's Aqua satellite shows that tiny Tropical Storm Michael had some strong thunderstorms wrapped around its center and in a band of thunderstorms in its northeastern "arm" or quadrant. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured in infrared image of Tropical Storm Michael on Sept. 5 at 0611 UTC (2:11 a.m. EDT) and noticed the strongest thunderstorms and coldest cloud top temperatures around the center of circulation and in a band of...
Infrared data from NASA's Aqua satellite shows that Tropical Storm Leslie has been causing problems for itself. Tropical Storm Leslie has been on a slow track in the Atlantic, and because of that, the storm is kicking up cooler waters from below the ocean surface. Those cooler waters were seen in infrared imagery on Sept. 5 at 0611 UTC (2:11 a.m. EDT) taken by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. The cooler waters are responsible for...
redOrbit Meteorologist Joshua Kelly Afternoon Tropical Update for September 6, 2012: Tropics: This afternoon we still see that the low pressure which has moved into the Northern Gulf has a moderate chance of becoming a tropical system. However, time is limited as there is a strong cold front about to approach the region. Estimated winds are around 25kts with a pressure of 1009mb as of this afternoon. Hurricane Leslie continues to turn towards Bermuda with estimated winds around...

The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean that is located in the tropics of the Western hemisphere. It’s bordered by Mexico and Central America towards the west and southwest, to the north by the Greater Antilles, to the east by the Lesser Antilles, and towards the south by South America. The whole area of the Caribbean Sea, the numerous islands of the West Indies, and neighboring coasts, are together known as the Caribbean. The sea is one of the largest seas and has an area of...
