These two- and three-dimensional observations of precipitation structure are the hallmark of the GPM mission – managed jointly by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) — which aims improve our understanding of the water cycle and extreme weather events, and contributes to improved climate modeling and weather forecasting around the world. Iota had strengthened to a category 5 storm with sustained winds of 260 kilometers (160 miles) per hour. In general, one November hurricane can be expected in the Atlantic basin every three or so years. In total, the 2020 season produced 30 named storms (top winds of 39 mph or greater), of which 13 became hurricanes (top winds of 74 mph or greater), including six major hurricanes (top winds of 111 mph or greater).

[Written by NOAA] November 2020 was very warm and quite dry for the United States as the Atlantic’s extremely active hurricane season came to a close. Credit: NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio, By Alex Kekesi NOAA’s seasonal hurricane outlooks accurately predicted a high likelihood of an above-normal season with a strong possibility of it being extremely active. November 30 marked the official end of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. This is the most storms on record, surpassing the 28 from 2005, and the second-highest number of hurricanes on record.

Such active eras for Atlantic hurricanes have historically lasted about 25 to 40 years. “The services provided by NOAA, alongside our emergency management partners, undoubtedly helped save many lives and protect property.”. Last month’s heat also added to a warm stretch so far for 2020, ranking the year to date as the nation’s fourth warmest, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GOES-16 satellite (one of many geostationary NOAA satellites developed and launched by NASA) captured a natural-color image on Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. local time when the storm was at its peak strength. ESA Sentinel-2 data was also used to detect likely flooded areas at Honduras’ San Pedro Sula airport.  The Program can take the landslide and flood detection data, then combine it with openly available population data and road maps, and deliver actionable guidance to local decision makers on where to best direct their response efforts. Within a day and a half, Iota’s wind speeds increased by 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour. November 19, 2020. Twitter .

One example is the landslide detection maps from the Semi-Automatic Landslide Detection (SALaD) project, which use machine learning to analyze data from commercial Planet Labs satellites and the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite. By Michael Carlowicz, with scientific interpretation from Timothy Hall of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. (NOAA National Weather Service), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Track active weather with NOAA’s new radar viewer, Dr. Michael R. Farrar is new director of National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Specifically, the Program is sharing products such as those (and others in the NASA Disasters Mapping Portal) in frequent coordination meetings to help quantify flood and landslide risk in the region. Eta is the 28th named storm of 2020 which beats the 2005 record for the most named storms in a single hurricane season. GPM data is archived at https://pps.gsfc.nasa.gov/, Hurricane Eta (a Category 1) on 11/4/2020 at approximately 5:25Z. NASA’s Earth Applied Sciences Disasters Program supports disaster response and risk reduction efforts throughout the world — before, during, and after disasters strike – and is working to aid Central America with the impacts from these storms. This historic hurricane season saw record water levels in several locations, including the Gulf Coast where Hurricane Sally brought the highest observed water levels since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to Pensacola, Florida. The majority of hurricanes in Florida arrive in the months of September and October, and no major hurricane has ever hit the United States in November. It's chilling, even from space." 1 of 4. These visualizations depict the GPM satellite pass about seven hours after Hurricane Eta made landfall on the coast of Nicaragua as a category 4 storm. These conditions, combined with La Nina, helped make this record-breaking, extremely active hurricane season possible,” said Gerry Bell, Ph.D, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. Moving very slowly at landfall, Eta lingered for three days over Central America and the adjacent waters, dropping catastrophic amounts of rainfall in excess of 20 inches in some regions. Through November 30, and the official end of the Atlantic hurricane season, several records were tied or broken.
