Tropical Storm Induced Cool Water Upwellings
Studying the relationship between the ocean and hurricane activity is a primary focus for
the Earth Scan Laboratory. One aspect of this relationship that has seen progressively
greater attention in recent years is the relationship between the topological features at
the ocean's surface and hurricane strength and the direction of a hurricane's path.
The imagery in this section of our site visualizes affects on sea surface temperatures created
by hurricanes traversing the Gulf of Mexico.
