New Hurricane Measurement Technique
A new technique for measuring the Atlantic hurricane season has been developed at COAPS by Dr. Vasu Misra, Steven DiNapoli, and Dr. Mark Powell. Track Integrated Kinetic Energy (TIKE) is a wholistic analysis of the intensity, size, and durations of cyclones and is complimentary to existing metrics such as Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE).

2012 Warmest Year on Record for Continental USA
According to NOAA scientists, the average temperature for the contiguous U.S. for 2012 was 55.3°F, which was 3.2°F above the 20th century average and 1.0°F above the previous record from 1998. The U.S. Climate Extremes Index indicated that 2012 was the second most extreme year on record for the nation. More... |
Deep-C Consortium Completes Year 1
The FSU-led Deep-C Consortium has completed the first year of its research into the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and the interconnectedness of the deep sea, slope, and continental shelf. Ongoing activities include mapping, sampling, data collection and analysis, modeling, and more. For more information, visit deep-c.org. |
