GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The JPSS polar-orbiting satellites measure the state of the atmosphere by taking precise measurements of sea surface temperatures and atmospheric temperature and moisture, which are critical to securing storm forecasts several days in advance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hurricane specialists use weather observations from satellites, radar, and aircraft reconnaissance, and analyze a variety of computer models to forecast the track, intensity and potential impacts of hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Use of satellites and aircraft Infrared images show the temperatures of cloud tops, thus allowing the loosely organized convection associated with easterly waves to be detected by the presence of cold, high clouds. They also show the deep, organized convection characteristic of a tropical cyclone.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the main functions of the eye is allowing air and clouds to flow into the storm through the eyewall, feeding it. Therefore, the eye also allows air from inside the hurricane to flow out into the atmosphere.
