Hurricane Research

We always hear lots about hurricanes this time of year in the eastern United States.  Especially this year, since we're not even at the one year anniversary of Sandy.  We also had to wait an extremely long time for the first Atlantic hurricane to form this year, Humberto, despite predictions from both NOAA and Colorado State.

If you've never used NOAA's online hurricane archive, it's fascinating.  They have the tracks of over 150 years' worth of hurricane data.  Fascinating.

NOAA just posted a small web article as a reminder to folks about its (the archive's) existence.
