JPL scientist Bjorn Lambrigtsen, who goes on hurricane watch every June, gives five thoughts and factoids about hurricane research.
"June is busting out all over," as the song says, and with it, U.S. residents along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts begin to gaze warily toward the ocean, aware that the hurricane season is revving up.

Since its launch a decade ago, QuikScat has advanced Earth science research and helped improve environmental predictions using measurements of global radar backscatter from Earth's ocean, land and ice surfaces.
Internet users can access ocean heat data by using the Sea Level Viewer, an interactive visualization tool developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
NASA is preparing for the launch of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-O (GOES-O) from Space Launch Complex 37 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
Summer soon begins in the Northern Hemisphere and, on June 1st, the Atlantic hurricane season kicks off. What can we expect?
NASA satellite data and a new modeling approach could improve weather forecasting and save more lives when future cyclones develop.
