Oct. 26, 2012 – Sandy’s winds hit speeds greater than 90 mph as the storm grew over the Atlantic. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Center for Climate Simulation Video and images courtesy of NASA/GSFC/William Putman -- A NASA computer model simulates the astonishing track and forceful winds of Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy pummeled the East Coast late in 2012’s Atlantic hurricane season, causing 159 deaths and $70 billion in damages. Days before landfall, forecasts of its trajectory were still being made. Some computer models showed that a trough in the jet stream would kick the monster storm away from land and out to sea. Among the earliest to predict its true course was NASA’s GEOS-5 global atmosphere model. The model works by dividing Earth’s atmosphere into a virtual grid of stacked boxes. A supercomputer then solves mathematical equations inside each box to create a weather forecast predicting Sandy’s structure, path and other traits. The NASA model not only produced an accurate track of Sandy, but also captured fine-scale details of the storm’s changing intensity and winds. Watch the video to see it for yourself.

Alex Steffen comes up with a term that really defines so much of what is happening (or not happening)
기후변화로 인해 바다가 뜨거워지면서 가공할 위력의 슈퍼 태풍이 더더욱 자주 발생해 인류를 위협할 것이라는 예측이 꼬리를 물고 있다. 해수면의 뜨거운 수증기를 양식으로 삼아 성장하는 태풍의 특성 때문이다. 초강력 태풍으로 인한 피해를 막기 위해 탄소배출을 더 줄여야 한다는 경고가 잇따른다. 10일 신규 기후변화 시나리오를 바탕으로 국립기상과학원이 최근 분석
Drowning World is a visual attempt to capture the magnitude of climate change through portraits of flood survivors taken in deep floodwaters, within the remains of their homes, or in submerged landscapes, in the stillness of once lively environments. Keeping their composure, the photographed subjects pause in front of Mendel’s camera, casting an unsettling yet engaging gaze.
West Virginia officials reversed a decision to move the schools from a flooded community to a new campus 30 miles away.
With a rising El Niño, forecasters say that hurricanes are showing unusual patterns. It is the first time there have been no western Atlantic hurricanes through Sept. 22 since 1914.

This image was captured by ASTER which is Located western edge of Sahara desert at central Mauritania in northwest Africa, there is a giant circle called Richat Structure, whose diameter ranges as long as 38km. First, Richat structure was considered an impact crater. However, by the fact that it doesn't contain any particular mineral and that the depth is too shallow for its diameter, it is considered a dome structure formed by intrusive rock. Rim of the dome is composed of quartzite, which is quite strong against erosion and higher than the surrounding area by about 100mt. As seen at the upper part of the image, Makteir sand dune spreads to the north of Richat Structure. ASTER is an hyperspectral sensor capable of acquiring data in visible, NIR, SWIR and TIR spectral bands. It is widely used for Geological mapping.
