Product Description
This electronic book on DVD-ROM provides a unique and comprehensive collection of documents and reports from the National Hurricane Center (NHC). It also includes complete coverage of the government response to the heartbreaking Hurricane Katrina disaster of August – September 2005, which created an incredible human catastrophe and devastation in Louisiana (especially New Orleans), Mississippi, and Alabama. Material from the NHC includes: Hurricane Awareness - Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q. (French) - AOML Hurricane-Research Division - Hurricane Hunters - The Saffir-Simpson-Hurricane Scale - Forecasting Models - Inland Wind Model - Eyewall Wind-Profiles - TPC Glossary - NWS Glossary - TPC Acronyms - Storm Names Breakpoints * Hurricane History - NHC/TPC Archives - Forecast Verification - Climatology - 1492-1996 (Atlantic) - 1900-2000 (USA) - Most Expensive - Most Intense - US Strikes by Decade - US Strikes by State * About the TPC - Mission/Vision - Other NCEP Centers - TPC Personnel - NOAA Locator - Visitor Information - NHC Library - WX4NHC amateur radio Station * Storm Info - Satellite Imagery - US Weather Radar - Aircraft Recon - Advisory Archive * Tropical Analysis and Forecasting - Atlantic Products - E Pac Products The National Hurricane Center (NHC) maintains a continuous watch on tropical cyclones over the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific from 15 May through November 30. The Center prepares and distributes hurricane watches and warnings for the general public, and also prepares and distributes marine and military advisories for other users. During the "off-season" NHC provides training for U.S. emergency managers and representatives from many other countries that are affected by tropical cyclones. NHC also conducts applied research to evaluate and improve hurricane forecasting techniques, and is involved in public awareness programs. NHC also contains the Chief, Aerial Reconnaissance Coordination, All Hurricanes (CARCAH) unit. It is a small three human being unit, an Operating Location of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (Hurricane Hunters) out of Keesler Air Force Base near Biloxi, Mississippi. CARCAH's mission is to coordinate all aerial reconnaissance requirements at NHC (Atlantic requirements) and at the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (Central Pacific requirements), then task the flying units to meet these requirements. Data from the reconnaissance aircraft (normally a WC-130) is fed directly to CARCAH via satellite down link. It is quality controlled then provided directly to the hurricane specialist for use in the forecast and warning process. It is also entered into the world weather networks. Katrina will likely be recorded as the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, producing catastrophic damage and untold casualties in the New Orleans area and along the Mississippi gulf coast, and additional casualties in south Florida.

The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. Our news and educational CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient easy to use reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched by finding specific words, or printed without untold hours of tedious research and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. This book-on-a-disc format makes a great reference work and educational tool. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This DVD-ROM disc is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc; the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same, but the DVD has more than six times greater storage capacity. Of course, this disc cannot be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. It contains computer-formatted data, not video.
