TROPICS - NASA
The primary mission objective of TROPICS is to relate temperature, humidity, and precipitation structure to the evolution of tropical cyclone intensity. See the TROPICS Mission webpage and Blackwell et al. (2018) for more detail.
Tropical Cyclone Analysis and Nowcasting - NASA
TROPICS Early Adopters with a tropical cyclone analysis and nowcasting focus seek to use TROPICS data to monitor storm location and evolution, as well as to diagnose storm structure. Tropical cyclones form in traditionally data-void regions over the open ocean, which necessitates the use of satellite imagery and observations to analyze storm ...
Tropical Cyclones | NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth satellites collect data on factors such as precipitation, ocean conditions, and flooding that help predict and manage tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones are one of the biggest threats to life and property.
Data spanning 16 research missions investigating 6 different tropical cyclones (TCs) are included, with comparisons made between hurricane strength versus sub-hurricane strength TCs and intensifying versus weakening TCs.
Tropical Cyclones | NASA Global Precipitation Measurement …
2024年9月12日 · The GPM Mission provides insight into how and why some tropical cyclones intensify and others weaken as they move from tropical to mid-latitude systems. The GPM Core Observatory’s GMI and DPR instruments allow scientists to study the internal structure of storms throughout their life cycle, and view how they change over time.
Tropical Cyclone Highlights - NASA
This Story Map highlights some of the most requested and routinely created products that NASA scientists create in response to tropical cyclones around the world. Each tab showcases a different product from an actual event that can give information about what the storm structure looks like, where flooding is occurring, or where damage may have ...
Provisional TROPICS Data Now Available | NASA Earthdata
2024年1月23日 · NASA’s Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) has released a suite of provisional Pathfinder data products from the Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of SmallSats (TROPICS) mission.
TROPICS | ESSP - NASA
NASA’s Time Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) is expected to launch in 2022 and will address science objectives that will ultimately improve our ability to accurately predict storm strength, giving people more time to evacuate and avoid loss of life.
Tropical Systems - NASA
This mission will provide groundbreaking observations of tropical cyclone precipitation structure and thermodynamics. SPoRT is leveraging existing observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission to perform research and develop products that will enhance the value and utility of TROPICS observations.
Hurricanes & Cyclones | NASA Applied Sciences
Tropical cyclones are readily observed in satellite imagery as organized clusters of thunderstorms in the lower tropical latitudes, and are much better known for the distinct, cloud-free eye common to major hurricanes as they move across the open oceans.
