When hurricanes intensify a large amount in a short period, scientists call this process rapid intensification. This is the hardest aspect of a storm to forecast and it can be most critical to people’s lives.
While any hurricane can threaten lives and cause damage with storm surges, floods, and extreme winds, a rapidly intensifying hurricane can greatly increase these risks while giving populations limited time to prepare and evacuate.

This August, the East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes, or EPOCH, mission will fly over East Pacific storms to better understand how they form and intensify. EPOCH will conduct up to six 24-hour science flights using the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft. Three of the flights are being supported through a partnership with the NOAA UAS Program. Data will be collected using three instruments (EXRAD, HAMSR, and AVAPS) aboard the aircraft that will map out the 3-D patterns of temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind speed - key factors that influence hurricane behavior. NASA scientists use a combination of ground, modeled, and satellite data to re-create multi-dimensional pictures of hurricanes and other major storms in order to study complex atmospheric interactions. || ", "release_date": "2017-07-25T09:30:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:47:31.803970-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 412674, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012100/a012195/LARGE_MP4-12195_EPOCH_Hurricanes2_large.00151_print.jpg", "filename": "LARGE_MP4-12195_EPOCH_Hurricanes2_large.00151_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Music credit: 'Cellular Signals' by Laurent Levesque [SACEM] from Killer TracksComplete transcript available.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 12628, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12628/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Building a Hurricane Season in the Atlantic Ocean", "description": "Music: Eternal Sunset by Alexandre Prodhomme [SACEM]Complete transcript available. || LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [120.4 KB] || LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [89.3 KB] || LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.00001_thm.png (80x40) [6.6 KB] || WEBM-Hurricane_NoTitle.webm (960x540) [91.1 MB] || APPLE_TV-Hurricane_NoTitle_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [112.8 MB] || APPLE_TV-Hurricane_NoTitle_appletv_subtitles.m4v (1280x720) [112.9 MB] || LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.mp4 (1920x1080) [229.0 MB] || YOUTUBE_HQ-Hurricane_NoTitle_youtube_hq.mov (1920x1080) [467.0 MB] || 12628_hurricanes_standalone.en_US.srt [4.2 KB] || 12628_hurricanes_standalone.en_US.vtt [4.2 KB] || NASA_PODCAST-Hurricane_NoTitle_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [39.0 MB] || ", "release_date": "2017-07-25T01:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:47:31.914427-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 413889, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012600/a012628/LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "LARGE_MP4-Hurricane_NoTitle_large.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Music: Eternal Sunset by Alexandre Prodhomme [SACEM]Complete transcript available.", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 12635, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12635/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "A New Multi-dimensional View of a Hurricane", "description": "Music: \"Buoys,\" Donn Wilkerson, Killer Tracks; \"Late Night Drive,\" Donn Wilkerson, Killer Tracks.Complete transcript available. || Matthew_screengrab_print.jpg (1024x574) [158.4 KB] || Matthew_screengrab_searchweb.png (320x180) [114.3 KB] || Matthew_screengrab_thm.png (80x40) [8.1 KB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_prores.webm (1920x1080) [25.4 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_twitter_720.mp4 (1280x720) [49.8 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew.mp4 (1920x1080) [236.9 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_facebook_720.mp4 (1280x720) [271.2 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_prores_youtube_720.mp4 (1280x720) [362.8 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [362.9 MB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew.en_US.srt [4.1 KB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew.en_US.vtt [4.1 KB] || 12635_Hurricane_Matthew_prores.mov (1920x1080) [3.0 GB] || ", "release_date": "2017-07-25T00:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:47:32.041851-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 413617, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012600/a012635/Matthew_screengrab_print.jpg", "filename": "Matthew_screengrab_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Music: \"Buoys,\" Donn Wilkerson, Killer Tracks; \"Late Night Drive,\" Donn Wilkerson, Killer Tracks.Complete transcript available.", "width": 1024, "height": 574, "pixels": 587776 } } ], "sources": [ { "id": 4585, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4585/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Hurricane Jose lingers in the Atlantic as Hurricane Maria approaches Puerto Rico", "description": "GPM passed over both Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Jose on September 18th, 2017.
