Understanding hydro-meteorology of an extreme hurricane event.

Understanding Hurricane Maria’s Hydro-Meteorology: A Critical Simulation Study
Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico with record rainfall, winds, and catastrophic damage. Due to early station failures, data was limited. A research team from City College of New York, led by Professor Jorge González, used WRF modeling to simulate and validate the storm’s impact, revealing key factors like record-high sea temperatures and low vertical wind shear that fueled Maria’s intensity. Their findings, published in Weather and Climate Extremes, also assessed infrastructure vulnerabilities, offering crucial insights for future disaster preparedness.
