Scientists Discover New Method to Predict Hurricanes Weeks in Advance Using Kelvin Waves - Stack Today


A recent study led by the U.S. National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) has provided valuable insights into predicting periods of increased hurricane activity weeks in advance. This breakthrough research demonstrates that large-scale atmospheric phenomena, specifically Kelvin waves, play a crucial role in influencing hurricane formation. The study found that hurricane occurrences double just two days after the passage of these waves, a discovery that could revolutionize how meteorologists forecast hurricane clusters.
