From Research to Application: NASA SPoRT Using Earth and Atmospheric Science Data to Better Understand Hurricanes
The Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is leading the way in transforming advanced research into practical tools to enhance weather forecasting and decision-making, including hurricane prediction. As hurricane season peaks, SPoRT scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center use satellite data like lightning, sea surface temperature, and Dust RGB to revolutionize storm tracking and prediction
In this image, data from the GOES-16 satellite is used to create a map of dust in July 24. Dark red indicates regions of cold clouds. The light magenta color over the central Atlantic Ocean highlights a region of dust associated with the Saharan Air Layer, which originates in Africa and helps to suppress tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic Ocean as it moves westward toward the Caribbean.
