It’s been a quiet one, with H1N1 taking all the news space this season. National Geographic details why this hurricane season has been so Pacific-focused in a great article here.
With U of R alumni (and former “Leader-in-Residence” at the Jepson School) Leland Melvin serving as a mission specialist on this shuttle flight, I couldn’t help but mention NASA’s great online database of hurricane and typhoon images and information. With everything from current storm outlooks to educator resources to 3-D views of historic storms, it’s a fantastic resource.
