Anyone who’s been caught in an unexpected downpour knows that weather forecasting is an imperfect science. Now, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology are taking aim at one of meteorologists’ biggest blind spots: extremely short-term forecasts, or nowcasts, that predict what will happen in a given location over the next few minutes.

An alarming number of people (especially children) have drowned after disappearing into storm drains during floods. The deadly problem should be easy for federal, state and local government agencies to fix, but tragedy strikes again and again.
Abu Dhabi: Researchers in Abu Dhabi have unravelled a more than 40-year-old scientific mystery about why a body of unfrozen ocean has appeared within a thick body of ice during Antarctica’s winter. Known as a polynya event, this creation of the water bodies within ocean ice has occurred twice in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica — once in 1973 and again in 2017. Scientists at Khalifa University’s Environmental and Geophysical Sciences (ENGEOS) lab have discovered that synoptic-scale atmospheric rivers (AR) emerging from the tropics and spreading poleward into the Antarctic Ice Sheet are actually initiating this phenomenon. Anomalous increase in surface temperature was induced by the atmospheric rivers over the ice pack, which caused melting and thinning of the ice, further leading to the opening of what is known as the ‘Polynya’ event.
