A New Multi-dimensional View of a Hurricane

Hurricane Matthew, a powerful storm in 2016, caused significant damage in the Caribbean and the US. NASA used satellite data and models to study its rapid intensification and complex interactions. The storm's movement affected ocean temperatures, leading to heavy rainfall in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. As it moved north, Matthew underwent an eyewall replacement and caused flooding in the US. The analysis of such data helps predict future storm behaviors and impacts.
