With a greater understanding of the intensification process, scientists can improve predictive computer models that might someday help forecasters decrease the radius of coastal evacuation areas and increase warning time for evacuation of those areas. CAMEX-3 turned its focus to hurricane tracking and intensification.
This image of Hurricane Bonnie was taken at 10.7 gigahertz by the CAMEX mission on August 23, 1998.The first two CAMEX missions, conducted at Wallops Island, Virginia in 19, were designed to study atmospheric and precipitation processes using aircraft, balloon, and land-based remote sensing instruments. From Texas to Maine, more than 44 million people currently reside in coastal counties and barrier islands, and weekend and holiday tourists often increase that number significantly, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Ĭaptured by the GOES-8 satellite, Hurricane Bonnie hovered over the Atlantic on August 22, 1998."The hurricane community has made great strides in accurate forecasting and tracking, but knowing how intense a storm is going to be when it hits the shoreline is a key factor," said Robbie Hood, of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) and principal investigator for the Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX).
