Los especialistas en huracanes de la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional Oce\u00e1nica y Atmosf\u00e9rica (NOAA), que es uno de los servicios uniformados, estudian im\u00e1genes satelitales y modelos inform\u00e1ticos para hacer pron\u00f3sticos acerca de huracanes; tormentas tropicales y depresiones tropicales que se env\u00edan a los administradores de emergencias, los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y el p\u00fablico. Si existe la posibilidad que un cicl\u00f3n amenace tierra, el Centro Nacional de Huracanes (NHC) de la NOAA env\u00eda aviones de la Reserva de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea y de la NOAA para volar a trav\u00e9s de una tormenta y tomar observaciones detalladas. Asimismo, coordinan las acciones con elementos de apoyo a saber:\u00a0La Guardia Costera;\u00a0El Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ej\u00e9rcito;\u00a0La Agencia de Log\u00edstica de Defensa;\u00a0La Agencia de Salud de la Defensa;\u00a0La Guardia Nacional.<\/p>\n

Hurricane response is an all-hands-on-deck effort.<\/p>\n

Hurricane specialists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is one of the uniformed services, study satellite imagery and computer models to make hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions forecast advisories that go to emergency managers, the news media and the public.<\/p>\n

Key data come from NOAA satellites that orbit the Earth, continuously observing storms from start to finish. Polar-orbiting satellites fly over the storm about twice a day at a lower altitude, carrying microwave instruments that reveal storm structure.<\/p>\n

The Space Force, in partnership with NASA, tracks these satellites. Also, U.S. Space Command and the Space Force protect these satellites from potential adversaries.<\/p>\n

If there’s a chance a cyclone will threaten land, NOAA’s National Hurricane Center sends Air Force Reserve and NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft to fly through a storm to take detailed observations. NHC hurricane specialists also analyze a variety of computer models to help forecast a tropical cyclone. Each storm is different, and no one model is right every time, so the specialists\u2019 experience with different models is crucial to making the best forecast.<\/p>\n

When a tropical cyclone threatens the U.S. coast, NHC confers with meteorologists at NOAA’s National Weather Service forecast offices closest to the path of the storm to coordinate any necessary watches and warnings.<\/p>\n

The uniformed services support the Federal Emergency Management Agency, along with state and local responders when a hurricane strikes. These Defense Department efforts are coordinated by U.S. Northern Command. In the Western Pacific, including Hawaii, Guam and other U.S. territories, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command coordinates DOD efforts.<\/p>\n
