Hurricane Season 2005

With Hurricane Season 2006 upon us it might be a good time to stop and look back before moving on. I wish we could truly say goodbye to 2005, however the state of affairs along the Gulf Coast keeps us reminded of it on a daily basis. At any rate, The Palm Beach Post has an excellent recap of last year's hurricane season complete with charts, comparisons, stats, and quick facts. If this is your "cup of tea" you can check it out here.

NASA Images: Katrina/Rita plus 21 Named Storms From the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season

The visualization that can be viewed by clicking on either the image of Rita on the top or Katrina on the bottom shows all 21 named storms during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, from Arlene to Wilma. Orange and red colors represent ocean temperatures at 82 degrees F or higher - the temperature required for hurricanes to form. Note the significant warming of Gulf waters in late August. Temperature data is from the AMSR-E instrument on the Aqua satellite, while the cloud images were taken by the Imager on the GOES-12 satellite. Click on either image to view animation. Credit: NASA
