NASA Does Hurricanes

NASA Does Hurricanes

When you think of NASA, you probably think of space. Which makes sense, because space is a huge part of what we do. That being said, here at NASA we are also involved in many other research areas, and even play a role in hurricane weather forecasting.

Our satellites, computer modeling, instruments, aircraft and field missions all contribute to a mix of information used by scientists to get a better understanding of these storms. Aspects of storms from rainfall rates to surface wind speed are all analyzed to help identify the potential for storm formation or intensification.

Currently, our satellites are passing overhead as Hurricane Joaquin (above) travels through the Atlantic Ocean. Our Global Precipitation Measurement, or GPM Core satellite captured images and rainfall rates of the storm. GPM showed a large area of very intense rain, which indicates that large amounts of heat are being released into the storm’s center. This fuels the circulation and provides the means for its intensification.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 mph and additional strengthening is expected. Joaquin could become a major hurricane during the next few days.

In 2016, we’re launching the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), which is a constellation of eight small satellites. With this launch, we will be able to better understand the rapid intensification of hurricanes, and improve hurricane intensity forecasts.

In addition to our satellite technology, we also conduct field missions to study hurricanes. In our most recent field mission, we investigated the process that underlie hurricane formation and intensity change in the Atlantic Ocean basin.

Ideal personality and physical traits that joker and Arthur would like in a partner plz!

Thank you for sending in!! I struggled a bit with this prompt tbh, because I think that Arthur/Joker would be the last person to care about your physical appearance. He is the definition of someone who feels that what’s on the inside is what counts If you loved him and treated him well, he would think you were beautiful no matter what you looked like. That being said, there are definitely some personality characteristics I think he would love!

First and foremost, Arthur would value your kindness. If you treated him nicely and tried to understand and sympathize with his life (ex. Not judging him for his job, his condition, etc.), he would find you lovely

I think Arthur would really value being cared for. He is treated with such brutality in his daily life, that being able to come home to someone who wants to pamper him a bit would be endlessly appreciated

He would try not to let you take care of him, claiming that he doesn’t want to burden you and that he’s been able to do everything himself up until now. But things like patching up his injuries, cooking for him, washing his hair gently for him, and cuddling him when he was down would mean the world to him

At the same time, Arthur wants to feel strong and important. If he feels like he can look after you as well and not just the other way around, he would feel proud. He wants to feel like he can protect you, and for him to be someone you could rely on

Because of how much he has been beat down and degraded throughout his life, he would turn into a blushing mess if you praised him. If you tell him you’re proud of him or that you think he’s handsome or strong, it would make him feel so good

This definitely carries into his comedy as well. Nothing would make him happier than you taking interest in his comedy career and supporting him. He would absolutely love for you to come to his shows and laugh at his jokes, telling him that he has talent in the dream he’s pursuing

Finally, I think Arthur would appreciate someone who is physically affectionate. He has been so starved of love and care, that he would try to soak it up and cherish it when he finally starts dating you. He is clingy and overprotective, and if you appreciate that he would feel so encouraged
