Primary Topic: 
Weather and Climate
Subtopics: 
Weather
Type: 
Video
Audience: 
Outreach, Informal, 9 - 12, 6 - 8, General
Standards: 
ESS2.D
Keywords: 
hurricanes, Matthew
Summary: 
NASA researchers use a combination of satellite observations to re-create multi-dimensional pictures of hurricanes and other major storms in order to study complex atmospheric interactions. In this video, they applied those techniques to Hurricane Matthew
