NASA HURRICANE STUDY REVEALS INTRIGUING RESULTS

     NASA and other weather researchers have gained 
intriguing new information about upper-level winds that drive 
hurricanes and the devastating impact of the storms as they 
collide with mountains. 
     The research is from a seven-week study conducted last 
summer during the Third Convection and Moisture Experiment 
(CAMEX-3) that involved NASA, the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and several universities.  
This was a concentrated effort to gauge the strength of 
Atlantic hurricane winds and rainfall.
