NASA Posts Stunning Photo of Hurricane Dorian Taken From Space

Hurricane Dorian

NASA on Wednesday shared an amazing picture, caught from space, of the 2019 Hurricane Dorian to check the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Dorian was the most impressive tempest to hit the Bahamas since records started. In a long Instagram post, the American space agency clarified through five pointers how it is planning to weather the hurricane season this year. June 1 denotes the start of the hurricane season in the Atlantic and the US government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has anticipated a better than expected number of storms this year.

The five pointers portrayed in the caption managed NASA’s capacity to see storms from space; to see inside hurricanes in 3D; climate change and hurricane conduct; the agency’s capacity to screen damage because of hurricanes; and assist communities with getting ready storms and manage their outcome. In a different blog post, it said that NASA is growing new technology and missions to examine storm formation and effects.

NASA scientists will consider climate change’s effect on storm conduct. It said more storms are expanding in strength rapidly, as a result of “rapid intensification,” and acquiring wind speeds by 35mph in only 24 hours. It added that the data gathered by researchers will be made accessible to the public for free and for provincial and nearby governments “to use to get ready for and understand the effects of these fiascos.” NOAA has anticipated a possible scope of 13-20 named Atlantic storms this season between June 1 and November 30, of which 6-10 could become hurricanes ? including 3-5 significant hurricanes. However, the forecasters at the government agency said they don’t expect the memorable degree of tempest activity seen in 2020. A year ago, a record of 30 named storms were recognized during the hurricane season, 12 of which made landfall in the US.
