Large hurricanes, such as Katrina and Rita, carry massive amounts of moisture deep inland, well beyond the coast where they come ashore. Weather radar shows rain in the atmosphere but not where it has fallen on the surface. While rain gauges measure how much rain has fallen in

Working with data from the SeaWinds instrument on the QuikScat satellite, researchers have found a new way to make an immediate measurement of the amount of precipitation that has accumulated on the surface and its location. These ar

SeaWinds on QuikScat is a scatterometer--it sends out a pulse of radar that scatters back to the satellite from Earths surface. Over the ocean, this backscatter reveals the speed and direction of ocean surface winds. SeaWinds data have become an important factor in improving hurricane forecasting. The satellite also collects data over land, and researchers have discovered that they can use radar backscatter from land to determine increases in surface soil moisture resulting from rainfall.

By Olivia B. WaxmanApril 11, 2014 1:08 PM EDTNPR Health blog Shots and Quartz have profiled an app that is supposed to help globetrotters recover from jet lag more easily.Users select the timezone they ;re flying into, and the iOS program, which is called Entrain, illustrates in a flow graphic when to stay in bright or low light and when to be in dark light throughout their trip, based on the kinds of mathematical equations that NASA and the military use to anticipate how light affects the human circadian clock. For example, people who fly from New York to Tokyo could feel jet-lagged for as many as 12 days, and this app hopes to radically reduce recovery time to 3-5 days altogether, Quartz reports.To create the app, NPR explains that the developers, a University of Michigan graduate student Olivia Walch and professor of mathematics and computational medicine Danny Forger,simulated the optimal schedules for more than 1,000 possible trips. They then applied two basic principles. One
