This week we are in Puerto Rico working with partners to deploy hurricane gliders for the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Research at AOML is showing that data from gliders are key to improving the accuracy of hurricane intensity forecasts.

Scientists at NOAA #AOML & @MiamiRosenstiel Cooperative Institute of Marine & Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) examine the challenges of accurately predicting when a #tropicalcyclone will begin a quick & sudden increase in intensity (called rapid intensification or RI) in a new study.

The Port of Miami is a bustling waterway w/ large cruise & cargo ships, ferries & fishing vessels, as well as a resilient coral community! Since 2018, #AOML & @CIMASRosenstiel scientists have been studying the environmental conditions & coral community dynamics in the Port.

Did you know that Earth's currents are driven by its rotation? It's complicated, but @noaaocean has some awesome visualizations and a new podcast with physical oceanographer Greg Dusek. Check it out for some NOAA #edutainment and cure that #fridayfeeling : .
