A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by Department of Defense 🇺🇸 and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from 3 weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/critical-hur…





I sought comment from NOAA and Department of Defense 🇺🇸 on this and received a reply today from NOAA's spokesperson. They suggest we use the surviving ATMS microwave that degrades significantly at the edges. You can see how much worse off we'd be with Erick last week if we only had ATMS.
