Meet Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a leading CSU #meteorologist. He uses ocean data for seasonal #hurricane forecasts, translating cutting-edge science into clear public guidance for #storm preparedness and policy. #meteorology #hurricanescience #scientists
7/10 Hurricane characteristics determine wave size and reach:
• Sustained wind speeds
• Storm area coverage
• Speed of movement
Faster winds, larger area, slower movement = taller waves that travel farther and create stronger rip currents.
