LEO Science Seminar: Low Earth Orbit Satellite Observations: A Key Element in Enhancing Tropical Cyclone Predictions

Presenter(s):

Dr. Isaac Moradi, Research Scientist, ESSIC/CISESS, University of Maryland, College Park, and NASA Global Modelling and Assimilation Office, Goddard Space Flight Center

 

Description:

Tropical cyclones are among the most destructive natural disasters, causing widespread damage and loss of life each year. Accurate forecasting, driven by satellite observations and high-resolution numerical models, is essential for mitigating their impact. This study examines how assimilating observations from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and increasing model resolution enhance cyclone track predictions, helping to prevent delayed warnings and minimize unnecessary evacuations.
