Life Cycle of a Hurricane

The Imaging Research Center in collaboration with David Stroud of GEST and the OIT New Media Studio, conducted an Internet2 Netcast featuring Dr. Jeffrey Halverson of JCET on the "Lifecycle of a Hurricane." This interactive presentation linked the IRC and the University of Pennsylvania over Internet2. An audience of science teachers (grades 6-8) interacted with Dr. Halverson as he delivered a dynamic presentation on the development and evolution of hurricanes. This was followed by John Leck of NASA who discussed how teachers can use NASA science data such as this in the classroom. The Netcast was part of a grant that the Franklin Institute has with the NSF on using Internet2 and research data for professional development of K-12 STEM education. The presentation is a great example of STEM outreach and portends some additional exciting opportunities for both teacher professional development and student engagement in STEM.

How does a storm, using a lot of energy, lead to rapid intensification when we use a lot of energy, we get tired? NO FAIR!!! :-(

@XxdragicexX3

actually, since hurricanes are a natural and powerful weather occurance, launching an atomic bomb inside one would not make any significant difference in it, if there even is any .

@XxdragicexX3 I would've answered long ago but my computer was acting up.but I figured you don't REALLY know anyway.Illegal ?? That just of matter of the correct legislation .An atomic bomb? Maybe a 2000# bomb but an atomic bomb is definitely too much

[XxdragicexX3]

@kaadauwgg well using any of those would be illegal and we would have to use a atomic bomb to destroy a hurricane even at its weakest point.
