Unveiling the Fury of Hurricane Idalia: A Meteorological Marvel
Source Idalia, a Category 3 hurricane, made landfall with a relentless fury, submerging homes, transforming streets into rivers, and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. As the Southeastern coastal states grappled with its aftermath, the unique path and sheer power of Hurricane Idalia challenged preconceived notions. They underscored the need for continued research…
Harnessing Generative AI for Innovative Hurricane Visualization
Visualising the intensity and progression of hurricanes on digital platforms has seen an impressive upgrade. A diligent researcher has created a set of distinctive icons that represent the categories of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. They are hosted on a GitHub repository called hurricane-net and can be found here. These icons, interestingly, are not just…

Women’s Contributions To Meteorological and Atmospheric Sciences Throughout Time
There is an effort to improve women’s ability to access technological advancements, knowledge, scientific literacy, and technology-related training, as well as to uplift the stature of female researchers and technologists at the international, national, and local levels. Ensuring all women have equitable access to scientific and technical knowledge is essential. The priority should be to…
ATMOSPHERIC FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA
Waterlogging and floods are menacing nuisances in California that continue to persist. Although atmospheric rivers may appear like something out of a travelogue, they can actually do a lot of harm. Long waves that travel in the skies like rivers do on the ground arise when water dissipates into the atmosphere and is carried by…
Current and Potential Future Aftermath of Cyclone Freddy
Cyclone Freddy was a very fierce, surprisingly chronic, high-octane, and lethal storm that made its way across the Southern part of the Indian Ocean for almost six weeks in March and February 2023. Satellite image of cyclone Freddy generated via Stability-AI What Determined the Intensity of Cyclone Freddy? To determine if Tropical Cyclone Freddy has…
